Well I wouldn't go that far. My last 4 sales I've given customers the 
choice of photorag or sprayed semimatte and once they've seen them 
they've taken semi matte. The only problem spraying is to do it 
without picking up crap out of the air. I'm a trifle nervous over 
archival issues though.

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.
