Oppose Entire frame is out of focus and there is a fair bit of image grain. It's possible some image editing could fix the grain and downscaling could possibly improve focus enough to still meet resolution requirements. —Dgies^t c 09:11, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So, if I down-scale the image, would that solve the problem? Regards, Signature ^brendel 02:18, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Downscaling hides focus problems but you may need to downscale so far that you end up failing resolution guidelines. You'd still need to perform a very careful noise reduction. It may be fixable but I'm not sure. —Dgies^t c 15:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advise. I'm going to introduce a revised version later today. Regards, Signature ^brendel 16:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
