I suggest that an image processed the old way with smearing be found and 
processed with the new beta, as a starting point to look for improvement 
Gerry. Then compare them side by side, otherwise this whole exercise is a 
bit like chasing ghosts.

Surely someone who has written and complained about the past 
processing/smearing problems can provide a suitable problem image to use as 
a proper test.
