  I really thought MacWorld did a very poor job of showing the pictures. First
of all the cover picture was bent over the binding so you couldn't really see
it well. I would also have like to see a color (and B&W grayscale) gallery
of pictures that were presented so that you could really see what they
looked like. They had a few pictures here and there but none that could really
be carefully looked at and enjoyed. 
  I also noticed that in the section where they were discussing dithered 
images and such, in at least one caption it claimed a picture was dithered
but the window on the Mac had the titled '256 shades/undithered'.
