Comment Is there any chance of seeing this picture being slightly sharpened just to see if this improves it slightly?Seddon69 (talk) 18:29, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Good thought; that was one of the things I experimented with during cleanup. It caused some pixelation without really much benefit, although if you'd like to give it a stab and your results come out better I'd gladly support that. Durova^Charge! 20:24, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
