One can call it natural resolution.<br />When we have images with natural resolution, we can find text over image much more often that we can image.<br />Here is one example:<br />Look at this Renaissance dated paintings of “The Last Supper”. <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4716/2713/1600/Last%20Supper%20Full%20image.0.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4716/2713/320/Last%20Supper%20Full%20image.0.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />At first sight obviously there is no text over this image.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />But when you look at this zoomed image of a detail of this painting (you need to click on it) – you can see that each apostle is named, but Judah.<br /><strong>Naming is equivalent of bringing object to a viewer or to eternity or both, as if they are the same.</strong><br /><strong>Everything important to paint is important to name.</strong><br /><strong><br /></strong>Click the picture to see annotations<br /><img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick="document.write('<html><head><title>FotoTagger</title></head><script>var showhide=0; function show() { var divs =document.getElementsByTagName(\'div\'); if (!showhide) { { for (i=0;i < divs.length;i++) { if (divs[i].className==\'ftg_div\') { divs[i].style.display=\'none\'; } } } showhide=1; } else { for (i=0;i < divs.length;i++) { if (divs[i].className==\'ftg_div\') { divs[i].style.display=\'block\'; } } showhide=0; } } </script><style> td {font-size:12px;} #ftg_group { color:black;display: block; position: relative; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #ftg_group div div{ position: absolute; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0; line-height:1.3em; overflow: hidden; } #ftg_caption { left: 116px; top: 2px;} #ftg_0 { left: 14px; top: 675px;} #ftg_1 { left: 414px; top: 681px;} #ftg_2 { left: 170px; top: 727px;} .ftg_tag {background-color:ffffad} .ftg_caption {background-color:#ceffce} .btn {font-size: 15px;} .toolbar {background-color:#F4F4F4;} .tollbartd {color:grey;} body {font-size:15px;color:grey;} a {color:blue;} </style></head><body><table width=100% cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 class=\'toolbar\'><tr><td class=\'tollbartd\' align=left> [<a class=\'btn\' href=\'javascript:history.back()\'>Back</a>] [<a class=\'btn\' href=\'javascript:show()\'>Show/Hide Tags</a>] [<a class=\'btn\' href=\'http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4716/2713/1600/ftg4.jpg\'>Static View</a>] [<a class=\'btn\' target=\'_blank\' href=\'http://www.fototagger.com/blog\'>What is image annotation?</a>] </td></tr><tr><td class=\'\' style=\'font-size:10px; height:15px;background-color:#ffffff\' > </td></tr></table><div id=\'ftg_group\'><img src=\'http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4716/2713/1600/Last%20Supper%20-%20Detail.0.jpg\' alt=\'Detail of the same painting Last Supper S.Petrus S.Johan Only one unnamed - Judah \' width=469 height=750 /><td><i></br>Detail of the same painting Last Supper</i></td><div class=\'ftg_div\'> <div class=\'ftg_caption\' id=\'ftg_caption\'>Detail of the same painting Last Supper</div> <div class=\'ftg_tag\' id=\'ftg_0\'>S.Petrus</div> <div class=\'ftg_tag\' id=\'ftg_1\'>S.Johan</div> <div class=\'ftg_tag\' id=\'ftg_2\'>Only one unnamed - Judah</div> </div></div></body></html>');document.close()" alt="Detail of the same painting Last Supper S.Petrus S.Johan Only one unnamed - Judah " src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4716/2713/320/ftg4.jpg" /><br /><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 13px"><i>Detail of the same painting Last Supper</i><br /><a href="http://www.fototagger.com/blog">What is image annotation?</a><br /></p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25914911-114488080844849428?l=text-over-image.blogspot.com'/></div>Tagsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03844280057761441232noreply@blogger.com8
