Source assessment: Image Description Length and Detail
Choose detail according to the reader's task; accessibility, cataloging, and analysis need different depth. Begin with the original input and record the current quality before changing any setting.
- Preserve the original input and note its important limitations.
- Apply the smallest change that addresses the current task.
- Compare the result with the source at the intended display size.
- Record settings and uncertainty before the result is reused.
This public review document covers one bounded quality-control task. It is intended as a repeatable reference rather than a substitute for checking the source material and the final output directly.
