I wonder how many peopled decide their max resolution cut-off (either
during processing or by setting the detector too far away) by eyeballing
a few images. I wouldn't be surprised if the number is substantial. Has
anyone looked at the actual resolution of a data set after processing
and the first-guess resolution reported by people just looking at the
first few images. With the generally positive trend to increase
redundancy at the cost of pushing the exposure per image, the resolution
visible to the human eye may be an even poorer estimate of true resolution.
