 * Candidate for downsampling? Spikebrennan (talk) 19:45, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hm, maybe. I don't know much about image scaling though so I can't really help you there. Sorry. --Malachirality (talk) 19:53, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it could take a downsample - but not more than to 60% of current size though, as I think data would start to be lost. de Bivort 21:15, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * And if someone's editing it, it could do with a crop as well. For an image of Ireland, Ireland is in a funny position. --jjron (talk) 08:48, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone else has already done a downsample and crop here, but I think this one is too small and too downsampled. Spikebrennan (talk) 14:36, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I took a shot at downsampling and cropping it (Edit 1). CillaИ &diams; XC 14:40, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Oppose, a typical satellite image which doesn't even show no cloud covering nor is it highly detailed. 128.175.100.116 (talk) 22:00, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Nor does the cabal exist, honest! --antilivedT 04:44, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
