I've had to adjust it closer to 0% with many more overscans. By
averaging out the pixels/grain a bit I don't get the grain aliasing
quite so much which means that the clipping that occurs on a given
pixel doesn't happen. With a single pass, I'm right around 1%.
If I get a round tuit this evening, I might post a scan.
