Very true. With the three I posted I saved the 2004 grab to about the same filesize as the "OUT" grab. I then cropped the OUT using a program called Jpegcrop which is freeware and can crop jpegs without re-encoding - um, recompressing them (it's lossless). The SW and Empire grabs have the OUT on top. The ROTJ grab has the 2004 grab on top, hopefully to help confuse people as to which is which.Also just trying to figure out why the lack of starfield to the left of the 'outnow' screen cap?
There's actually an area there which has no stars, in either cap - it must just be like that on the negative.
