I hadn't noticed this extreme level of image processing before either. Perhaps it is something fairly new or just uncommon.

My working hypothesis is that it was triggered by publishing those maps using large, detailed GIF images. If I am right about that the decision of whether to use GIF or PNG or JPEG may end up being important.
Oh, now, THAT is a real thought! DAMN. Other than experimenting--which is hard for those of us not publishing actual books directly--I wonder how we can determine it? That theory feels like it has legs. Hmph.

I need to go search through our archives and see if I can find something relatively recent, with GIF maps versus something with the old usuals, PNG or JPG.
