  What? Sorry, this is simply taken with a Canon L lens and 50% downscaled. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 11:39, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

  What? Sorry, but then how come the mountains have black outlines? พ.s. 15:01, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

   Done I hope you don't mind. I tried to reduce some black/white fringing and also some minor chromatic aberrations. --Ximonic (talk) 11:51, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

•  Strong oppose Downsampling is against the rules, see Commons:Image_guidelines#Quality_and_featured_photographic_images _→AzaToth 14:58, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

• What is that for an unpossible argument??? Is the size of 5.555 × 2.500 pixel not big enought for you? The donwscaling of a distorted image is a normaly step for a panorama image. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 15:37, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
• It is not against the rules but it is not usually recommendable. I think, otherwise the guideline would be ”...must not be downsampled” instead of ”should not be downsampled”. What I would advice is to consider all the processing in each picture case by case – including downsampling. If we must not lose any information from any picture then any kind of improvement or fixes made in photoshop etc would be against the rules, so every picture should be RAW and completely untouched. Fortunately, that is not the condition in Commons. --Ximonic (talk) 15:50, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

And furthermore, there is no way to watch all the media and be sure that the downsampling did or did not happen – if it wasn't informed by the creator. I guess it might be quite difficult to fight against this habit. --Ximonic (talk) 16:02, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
