Pardon me, HDPhoto is not wavelet based. It uses an overlapped block transform.

Does it? I mean, seriously, I'd like to see examples where you believe it does. Because either we're using a different HDPhoto here, or I do something terribly wrong, both of which could be right, but it doesn't seem to preserve detail very well here. So long, Thomas
