Farm Town Crop Development Stage Pictures

Take a look around at the Farm Town albums. People are having fun making fun and interesting farms, and also making geometric designs and pictures.

I assume you know what Farm Town is. It's a moderately addictive social game. For lots more information, visit their website at http://slashkey.com/. They have an excellent official user's guide. I also recommend: Stupigity Farm Town Tutorial

I tried my own hand at some fun designs but right away I figured out that it would be helpful to have some idea what the exact colors would be when the crops are ripe. Some colors contrast nicely while others don't look all that different to me.

I decided to put together this web page. Each crop is represented. Each crop has several stages of development.
The first stage runs from 0% to 24%. I have labeled it 0% in the pictures below.
The second stage runs from 25% to 49%. I have labeled it 25% in the pictures below.
The third stage runs from 50% to 74%. I have labeled it 50% in the pictures below.
The fourth stage runs from 75% to 99%. I have labeled it 75% in the pictures below.
The fifth stage is 100%, or ready to harvest.
There is a sixth stage, rotten, that you probably don't want to see.

How I took these pictures:
(1) I set up some five by five tightly planted fields where I could plant a crop of this or that.
(2) I planted each crop.
(3) I took a picture every so often. I did this on my Mac by using Command-Shift-3, which does a screen capture and writes it to a file (Picture 1.png) on the desktop. Before taking the picture, I zoomed in as much as possible on the field. I made sure my mouse was over one of the patches so I would not forget what crop I was seeing.
(4) Then I used the Gimp (GIMP.app, free image editing software sort of like PhotoShop) to crop the picture down to a 500 pixel wide by 300 pixel tall image from the middle of the field. Upon opening I as asked whether to convert the color profile from Color LCD to sRGB. I chose to keep, resulting in slightly better colors. After opening the .png file, I did view/1:1, select rectangle, adjust size to 500 by 300, center the rectangle, image/crop to selection, file/saveas using jpg as the extension.
(5) I named each image with (crop).(stage).jpg, where (crop) is the name of the crop, like grapes or watermelon, and (stage) is the stage of development, like 000, 025, 050, 075, or 100.
