Many thanks to Darren Garrison for the new (Aug 1, 2008) CBR file that has had a lot of the compression artifacts removed. Darren sez, "what I did was play around with some image editing filters. I came up with a macro that I liked (involving a certain degree of "edge preserving smooth" followed by "sharpen more" in Paint Shop Pro) and managed to get rid of most of the compression artifacts while losing very little detail-- it looks much better and results in a new .cbr that weighs in at about 93 MB instead of 196 MB."
