63 Jul 21 Reply Let me be very clear here.

The only reason this image is not sharp is due to the unreasonable limitation, placed on our submissions, to be no more than 1024 pixels wide, despite the fact that the server and software, not to mention the image submission guidelines, are capable of handling much larger and much more detailed images. Attached is a 1-to-1 crop from the original, with no horrible Topaz artifacts resulting from unnecessary processing. Should I attach the full 16MP image (which I won't do here) it would be very clear that the the snout and whiskers (?) are suitably in focus. Even a 2000-pixel image would do a better job of showing that detail.

If we're going to discuss sharpness, we need to be working from higher resolution images when fine detail is present. Not these tragic, low resolution submissions. So any criticism of -sharpness-, based on these, is specious.

N.B. I own the Topaz software.
