>>7990956Mostly the same treatment as
>>7990956, but I tweaked the gamma down and the contrast up before converting to 8 BPP/ 256 grayscale. Slightly more detail was lost, but the image quality is slightly smoother & more natural looking.
Let me know what looks best & I can try some other images. If you have some you want me to try, post them & I'll do what I can. Keep in mind, I'm a hack compared to the Image Mod guys ... so, once we find the approximate target zone you might want to put in requests there if you want optimized quality.
