Question It's one of the most important events in history the past hundred years, but what can you tell us of the image quality? It seems quite unsharp and I'm wondering if it's been upscaled.--Peulle (talk) 15:06, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Peulle: Source is straight from the US Navy, so this is almost certainly the best available.Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:30, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
- Question But is it upscaled from the original print size? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:48, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: It's possibly at the higher end of dpi, but the question is kind of meaningless because there's no standard dpi.It's at a level that gets all extant detail. Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:17, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
- I assume there are existing prints? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:25, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
- I mean, this is a scan of one. It's not an inverse of the negative. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:52, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
- So what's the size of the print that was scanned? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:00, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
- The Navy doesn't deign to say, alas. Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:11, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
- I see. Oh well. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:31, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
