With a 2 per cent improvement in photo taking / making abilities and a half
percent or less degredation in image quality no-one would care a jot about

Just an application of Dickins' or whoever observed that income a pound and
outgoing of nineteen and six' results in happiness :-)
Sadly, there is little if any discussion on this list of the 2 per cent
solution and LOTS of griping about the half per cent degredation issue !
