screen resolution and colors also.  jpegs show awful at 256 colors and
better at 16 bit High color or true color.

IE4.0, Win95, 800x600 High Color 16 bit, the 2 "cleaned" pics look fine
to me. The second one, the writing at the bottom is a bit harder to read
from the original, but the photo itself looks good.
