Really? We switched the image processing pipeline around a little recently (to deal with moire/banding patterns in the 300DPI images) but I didn't think it had changed things that much for these. Comparing the Arcane Sanctum from C16 (processed with the old Photoshop workflow) to the one from C17 (processed with the same ImageMagick workflow as Ixalan) the latter looks a bit softer but not blurry to me:Xitax wrote:I hate to give you negative feedback, but the Ixalan 200dpi's are a little blurry.
I have the opposite feedback, the Ixalan 200's are fantastic, and C17 isn't blurry enough!charlequin wrote:Really?

This seems to be an artifact of how I'm approaching the 200DPI images specifically in the current setup. As an indicator of what I was trying to address, I've attached two 300 DPI images. The first one here is the original 300DPI release I made of C17, in which you can see a very noticeable square distortion pattern in the reddish background areas. The second is the changed process which was used for the Ixalan release and refreshes of the previous sets; you can see that it eliminates the pattern while retaining sharpness for the text and fine details:Xitax wrote:It's true that you can minimize the rosette, but in doing so you blur the edges of text, icons, etc.
I just host them externally (on imgur or something) and then embed them with the img tag.(by the way, how can I make these appear full size in my post?)
A vote for the new process tweak. Which sets were refreshed?charlequin wrote:Xitax wrote:The second is the changed process which was used for the Ixalan release and refreshes of the previous sets; you can see that it eliminates the pattern while retaining sharpness for the text and fine details:
