I am getting a strange effect in JOSM where, as I move around I get a flash of the old higher quality image which then degrades to the newer poor quality image. Is the old stuff available but being superseded or overwritten by the new inferior images - any explanations.
The newer imagery is going to make my job of finishing tracing the rest of the houses in my village almost impossible. I would much prefer old imagery of better quality than more recent imagery of poor quality. Does anyone have a cache of the old stuff?

This might not be noticeable everywhere: many areas will have only ever had images up to level 19. Also, some of the level 19 imagery is well lit, sharp and not particularly different from what Nottingham previously had at zoom level 20. A couple of specific areas: Chester - I've just had a look here. I believe it is zoom level 19, but it's well lit, sharp, and generally good for tracing. Nottingham - The imagery for most of Nottingham is now a bit blurry and badly lit. It's borderline whether it's usable for tracing buildings (some areas are better lit than others). An exception is the very north part of the city, which has imagery from a different source. This is much better quality (but still only zoom level 19).
