  • Comment Only slight concern I have is that a small piece of the frame is visible in the top center of the image, I think it MAY be possible to clone it out but with such a large gigapixel image not sure if it's worth it... — raekyt 14:08, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have no expertise in this, so if this is to be done it will have to be someone other than myself. --JFH (talk) 16:15, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No, it is not worthy. It is definitely not worthy to do what has to be done to get rid of it. — ΛΧΣ21 04:18, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This image is so large that it actually can't be viewed by the special zoom tool, at least on my computer. We should probably offer a scaled-down (but still very large) courtesy copy, to allow easier viewing, since we're getting to the size where actually seeing the original hits issues. We would, of course, promote this one. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:35, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
