[Radiance-general] rif settings: quality variability detail

[Nick Doylend]

Thanks, that's just what I was looking for!  The values for medium
quality given in the book appear different from those in Greg's paper
(based on a cursory glance through the appendix).  Can anyone confirm
the current values, otherwise I guess I can just play rad -n when I get
time.

Cheers,

Nick
