Possible error on display-quality FAQ?

In the section "Resizing & sharpening" on:

The butterfly photo on the far left (0.00 sharpening) appears *noticably* sharper than the middle photo (0.20 sharpening). Look particularly at the pointy things in the middle of the flower.

Are a) my eyes messed up, b) these images incorrectly labeled, or c) already sharp images actually becoming blurrier with 0.2 sharpening applied?

Although harder to tell for sure, it seems like the photo below the butterfly may also have this behavior, seen particularly in the hair/eyebrows.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt,

Hmmm! I'm checking into this now. Right or wrong, you're the only one that's noticed this in the years we've had this page up, so, good eye! It seems we need either more of an explanation on the process, or to shuffle our photos around to the correct order. I'll be finding out!

Thanks for the heads up, Matt!
