This document explores methods for squeezing excess bytes out of simple programs. (Of course, the more practical purpose of this document is to describe a few of the inner workings of the ELF file format and the Linux operating system. But hopefully you can also learn something about how to make really teensy ELF executables in the process.)
Before you start working with photo images on your computer (or even view them), you should really make sure that your video subsystem is capable and is displaying things correctly. These pages will assist you in adjusting your monitor by providing various test patterns. They also give a brief introduction to issues involved in calibrating a monitor
