I must be missing something, I just get blackness where I suppose a picture should be.

Try increasing the number of dots by reducing their size.

What "Step 4"? I simply get the header, the option to view all pics and a black screen.

I see now, I think they are talking about actually making a picture, not the examples... but still I just get a blank screen on the examples page

No, I get the same thing.

It does that in Safari. I tried it on Camino and it all displayed. Works in Firefox and Opera also.

Is that for the example he linked to or for the App itself? I was talking about the example the OP linked.

The OP? I used the online version if that's what you mean, but I'm not sure it is.

OP=Original Poster.

The link I provided in the quote. It's a black screen, no picture.

I'm just trying to see what kind of "cool" picture he linked to, but there is nothing there but a black screen.

The Rasterbator creates pictures that from a distance look like:

10719.jpg


But if you look closely, they look like this (not the same picture):

Picture6.png


(The second bit is from a rasterbated version of this)

Does that answer your question?
