I upscaled this one slightly, for an increase of ~10% total pixels (3.77 megapixels to 4.17 megapixels). Again, fairly strong increases in contrast & gamma. Wiped out some minor detail but helps make the B&W pop a bit.
Um, also, I've been using 8 BPP/256 grayscale since 4 BPP seriously degrades the image. That might look better for some types of images, but it was horrible for this one (and the previous).
