It's not obvious to me what that means for users.  Why don't you post before and
after images so we can judge?

Or if this affects something other than the visual appearance, so images won't
show the difference, please explain what this will change for users.

And what is the tradeoff for this "degrading"?  What are users gaining by this
sacrifice?

Thx.
