Probably a rip-off. Not good, anyway - Georgeous to Garish and 100% unannotated!!

This is one EXTREMELY mixed bag! Don't believe the hype. Of 461 images, the large majority TIFF format, I saved to my HD only 86. That's right, only 86 impressed me as worth viewing more than once.
I think this set was put ("cobbled") together by some amateur who simply downloaded a bunch of Hubble photos, put them together, made up a business name for themselves and put them out on Amazon. Hubble images, for the most part, are copyright free. So I guess anyone can piece together a DVD or bunch of CDs like this.
The set might be a lot more interesting if one only knew what the pictures were supposed to be or to represent. But no! Believe it or not, there's not one single word of text anywhere on the DVD or CDs that names what's in the pictures or explains anything at all.
A sample, totally typical title is this one:
1990-07-a-full_tif.tif
That's exactly like ALL the titles. No explanation where to go to get more info.
If you own a copy of DK's 2005 truly beautiful "Universe: the Definitive Visiual Guide", which is HIGHLY educational and full of explanations, you can ID a fair number of the 86 images I thought worthy. Otherwise, you'd not have a single clue what you were looking at!
There are a ton of boring images and small, grainy images, and beautiful fine images and ones so big that I STILL have not opened them for a view (one set of four range up to 240 MB or so).
A real hodge-podge. Unbelievably uneven.
If you are hard-core, like I sort of am, then this DVD is almost worth getting. But it's only value is to provide you with maybe 60-90 nice to very nice images in a format that you can use for display or printing or sharing or etc.? That's worth something, for sure. But really, who pieced together this mess? |
