Subject: [PATCH] Reading a photo with blueprints now requires squinting
 (#82984)

## About The Pull Request

To see the wires in a photo of blueprints you first must squint at them.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Realism, a picture of blueprints taken from across the room makes it
difficult to see what's up

## Changelog

:cl: Melbert
balance: To see wires in photos of blueprints, you first must squint at
the photo.
