       | If you're ever in the position to provide a comparison of two
       | images in a Web page like this, please consider providing a
       | button to toggle back and forth between the two. (The toggling
       | can also show the label for which is currently being shown.)
       | 
       | Neither mechanism this Web page provides is as useful as that,
       | IMHO.

         | Agreed. You want to be able to do a blink comparison. The
         | animation is just a distraction.
         | 
         | That said, a bigger problem is that, without having read your
         | comment here, I doubt I would have noticed there was an option
         | to see changes in the image, and I certainly wouldn't have
         | poked at it hard enough to discover their were multiple
         | affordances available.

         | control and swipe back and forth at my own volition.

           | the before position seems like intuitive missing
           | functionality. Digressing, whoever names projects using
           | ambiguous backronyms, which in this case is "TEMPO", is a
           | fool and indebted with the hate and anger of at least one
           | person for wasting time to lookup relevant material.

       | I don't understand the coloring of the image. It looks like
       | there's a huge range in color from 25-50, but 50-100 and 100-150
       | look almost the same.
