Judging by the lazy attitudes I'm getting I beg to differ.

You must look closer, they are there I promise you.

I posted an image and mainly all I got was grief and some cheeky
person mangling it. I wasn't even posting it to advocate JPEG2000 -
but that's how it ended. I was merely doing it to preserve the 16-bit
output of the POV scene (though that may now be pointless after at
least some sensible discussion om the subject), but also to minimise
the artifacts.

No, my posting just revealed a lot of lazy people with fixed views.

Cheers. Considering that don't use POV much that's a kind comment.

Believe you me, I would have thought that was just a single step.

Anyway, this is all moot. It seems that it actually acceptable to post
such images. So where I feel it is required, I will.
