• Support - I uploaded a png derived from the larger image to get rid of the artifacts and pixelation (of course, the file size is 10x larger, too...) --[[User:Brian0918|brian0918 _talk]] 04:17, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • I reencoded that PNG as a higher-quality JPEG. Filesize is 150k or so (a little more than a quarter of the PNG), and I can't tell the difference at 3X magnification. grendel|khan 06:00, 2004 Dec 20 (UTC)
    • Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but your jpg looks a little brighter and reveals some of the pixelation in the water more clearly, although the large file difference is enough to make me ignore these "problems". Looks good. --[[User:Brian0918|brian0918 _talk]] 06:19, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
