66   The
67 < .I \-a
68 < option turns off reciprocity averaging for isotropic scattering or anisotropic reflection.
69 < Normally on (+a), this ensures that the tensor BRDF obeys Helmholtz reciprocity.
70 < However, in certain rare cases, reciprocity averaging can cause unwanted noise in the output.

68 > option turns on reciprocity averaging for isotropic scattering or anisotropic reflection.
69 > Normally off (-a), this enforces each tensor-tree hemisphere to follow symmetry
70 > implied by Helmholtz reciprocity, and is designed to reduce noise in measured data.
71 > However, for some data, reciprocity averaging can make the output worse.

# Line 88 | Line 89 | The
89   .I \-n
90   option controls the number of super-samples to send in patches whose
91   difference to its neighbors exceeds some threshold.
92 < The default number of super-samples is 256.
92 > The default number of super-samples is 64.
93   The difference threshold for super-sampling is controlled by the
94   .I \-s
95   option, and defaults to 0.35.
