  •  Info I may downsample images, but not by so much scale... without reason : if I remember (I lost the RAWs) the source pictures were taken at ISO 1600 and f/2.8. Hence a very bad quality when viewed at 100% (soft and very noisy). Leaving the picture unscaled down would certainly have not been seen well. For another reason, my picture of Eiffel Tower below is downsampled : I have a front focus problem on my lens... sadly... because the picture could have been twice as large. -- Benh (talk) 16:18, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I sympathise with Benh as I too am accused of downsampling excessively with some of my images, and what many people don't realise is the difficulty in actually getting the image at all. It shouldn't matter what the theoretical resolution might be. If you're going to complain about downsampled panoramas, you might as well complain that Benh take a 100 segment mosaic instead of just 15. :-) Diliff (talk) 16:43, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
