Having been born extremely recently, I too would like to endorse 'Sharpo'.
I think it has had some quality issues recently, which, suffice to say, has
led me to experiment with this type of pictorial latency. I find it is now
far easier to merely approximate how far the canister fell, and then drop
the canister on its other end, thereby approximately rectifying the image.
I can then dilute the 'Sharpo' at a 1:25 solution, which is also better for
the environment.
Take care all,
Gary
