I have to run a more complex experiment with my own pictures and not with
pictures taken off the net, because I *always* see bigger files coming out
of Paint.NET when I use my own photos from my phone.

So I have to re-run the experiment on a different set of more realistic
files than the one photo I pulled off the net as a testcase.
