The 'subtleties of "chemical" pictures' or any other subtleties of
rendering aren't worth a pinch of pooh if the actual picture is
abysmal. I only evaluate my images at full resolution where I have two
or more to choose from with similar compositional qualities that I
can't decide between when viewing at a reduced size.
