    • Cropped both the King and Queen according to the playing card notations at the corners of the images. That did mean cropping the king tightly at the bottom. The alternative was to sacrifice proportionality between those two images or a result that looks less like playing cards. Durova285 14:47, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • I would like a fraction more at the bottom, I have to admit: There's some lines awfully near the cutoff. Weak support current, Conditional full support if fixed. Shoemaker's Holiday Over 184 FCs served 00:27, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
