	19:27, 13 June 2008	1,820 × 2,160 (7.43 MB)	Adam Cuerden	Slightly more small-scale sharpness tweaks, in order to bring out the text ""Go ribald, etc" without artefacting around it
	18:54, 13 June 2008	1,820 × 2,160 (7.44 MB)	Adam Cuerden	Strongish sharpen - this is a lithograph. Sharpen was MADE for this type of thing.
