Comment Alt 1 is definitely better, the original looks upsampled (less detail even though a tad larger), and has practically blown highlights (255 in some channel), as well as detail loss in shadows (0 in places). Alt 1 needs a slight rotation, and black borders cropped. --Janke | Talk 13:06, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
