Subject: sp2 sample image

(This message is being sent to CPSC 215 Students and TA's)

If your output image looks VERY similar to the one in sp2data
but yours is VERY slightly but perceptibly lighter than the
one I placed in the sp2data directory, yours is likely CORRECT!

If yours has three visible copies of the original, big bands
of black, or great clouds of strange unrecognizable fuzz
then you have other problems.

The following defective code was present in my solution

      sum += 0.56 * *im1++;

Simple typos such as this one in which I had a finger
spasm and typed 0.56 instead of 0.59 -- can be
frustratingly hard to find.  Fortunately this one didn't
cost my employer millions of $$$$s (unless one of you
can successfully sue Clemson).

As an act of penitence I will forgive all errors IN
ENTERING THE WEIGHTS on this assignment.

Thanks to Thomas Davidson for helping me find the error of
my ways!
