If you click on the link to Powwwiii's profile in Aussie18's link it take me to a Profile for Powwwii where it shows no photos at all. If you type Tao Li in the somewhat useless A.net search it doesn't find any hits at all. Perhaps they are just glitches? How many years since the new software?.........

RE: Softness In Photos

Airliners.net likes photos to be over sharpened and it is the one thing that most of us have struggled with as it is very subjective and dependent on your monitor. As screeners apparently all have different monitors there is bound to be some inconsistency.
