There's no harm in using whatever resolution you have.  But if my file
doesn't have enough pixels to print at 360 ppi at the size I want, there's
no harm in printing at 300 ppi or even 240 ppi.  The implication is that 360
ppi is _necessary_ for a decent print, but I do not find that to be true.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
