Hello Thomas,

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Agreed.

Ok.

Yes, I know but for reversed mono we want only 1/8 of the width since we
are converting from 8 bits per pixel greyscale to 1 bit per pixel mono.

Or am I misunderstanding what you meant ?

Ok.

I see. Yes, that sounds a much better approach. I'll change it in v3.
