Also released Quicktake tonight, as I worked HARD on the Quicktake 150 decoder to bring you an image on the screen in less than two minutes! (previously three).

As I am in a good mood, please find attached a real-time video where you can watch a giant progress bar for 90 seconds before a beautiful old building appears. (A captivating video)

Video of the decoder, which consists mainly of a full-screen progress bar. It decodes for 90 seconds, then the editor is loaded and the image appears. It is a picture of an old beautiful building.

I may need to spend a bit more time toying with an idea (pre caching divisions of possible values, should transform 640 divs per row to maximum 256, BUT this way I can stop iterating as soon as the result is 256, so probably much less!)
It implies dividing "with my butt" and approximating, for memory reasons, but the result may ne worth it if it's not/barely visible.
