The gallery has been updated - as all the nohalo versions were through
a mistake of mine a rendition of lohalo with a high OFFSET0, the
difference between lohalo and nohalo is now more apparent - with the
nohalo results in general being crisper than lohalo for such
downsampling. Seeing the difference I am less inclined to remove
lohalo - even if the smoother appearance of downscaling with lohalo
can be achieved manually with nohalo by applying a sufficiently large
gaussian-blur before scaling down.
