The image at the link given is not very impressive at all. It is fuzzy,
lacks decent resolution, and is over sharpened, and the colors are
questionable. I have seen inexpensive posters with far better quality.
It doesn't mater what picture one views on a web site. It simply will
not have the characteristics of a real photo (or even a poster).
Comparisons made on a monitor are likely to skew any interpretation.
(Any possible fringing Pam referred to could be lost in this
rendition.) Relative differences might be studied if carefully
presented, but only to note the relative difference. The absolute
quality will still be lost.
But then does this have anything to do with alt-photo anyway?
