I fiddled with the Account Management image and found that Unsharp Mask with a Radius of 0.3 and Amount of 0.5 had just about the best effect on cleaning the image up. One thing I noticed was that the PNG was set to 97.9932 x 108.001 dpi. Those seem a little strange to me. I suspect that most monitors are between 72-85 DPI, but maybe not. The ratio of yours in ~0.92 while my LCD at home is ~ 1.02. Screenshots should be made at screen resolution, or 72x72 by default. -- Michael J.
