HUNH?  Take another look.  The cover of the album is *clearly* of
photographic quality.  Look, in particular at the fineness in KaTe's hair.
The only thing that looks like pixelated jaggies is in the houndstooth
pattern on her jacket, and that, of course, is standard for a woven
houndstooth of that size.

I se no jaggies anywhere near the key.

"Not too much colours"?  Looks like a pretty standard sepiatone print of a
b/w picture.  I _would_ guess there's a bit of handtinting on the key and
above KaTe's eyes.  But, particularly produced in 1982, I'd be shocked if
this cover photo had been created on a computer.

(That said, I did once take a 320x200 b/w scan of the cover and shade it
sepia and make the key gold...I imagine that version I did is still on the
l-h archives, though I couldn't guess what the file is called)

>DREAMING is great!

Yup...*that* I'll agree with.
