We designed a replacement for an old high-voltage pulse amplfier, an

the old box and our version. I passed the manual on to an office
person to tweak the formatting to company standards. For some reason,
they decided to use some AI thing to improve the pics.

I think you'd better hire a photographer instead :-D

My original cell phone pics are OK. The ones I posted here were
captured from the"improved"  manual. It looks like Word throws away
resolution when you down-size a pic. That makes sense, avoiding
gigantic Word file sizes.

The pics are small and look OK on a printed page.

One of our office ladies has a side business as a professional
photographer, and she will take some better shots. But no AI this
time.
