I played around with the indexed 16-shade png converted to 8-bit greyscale, and now I am torn between two options.

The book I last uploaded had over 300 images, saved to jpeg with 25% compression (that's 75 quality for you folks who see the glass as half-full, not half-empty). The two volumes of the book totaled about 16.25 mb.

I re-converted the source images to 16-shade pngs in 8-bit greyscale. The two volumes now total almost 22 mb.

So I have to decide whether to go with much cleaner images with the requisite size increase.

I wonder how many users would even notice the improvement?

I'm just throwing this out there for anybody who would like to chime in with an opinion.

PS--@Jellby -- the Burn overlay is working really well, I was stunned to see how much grunge I had missed. Thank you again, this is absolutely faster than hunting specks by eyeball.
