I have recently become vary aware of a trend towards poor quality pictures in magazines. Images of a quality that until a few years ago would never have made it in. this is both in the magazine content and adverts. there is often noise, artifacts and saw-toothed lines, often very pronounced from an over-enlarged digital file. It just seems like they don't care so much any more.
