Quality of images

Dear teachers

Does this construction read well?

We are afraid there is not much that we can do to improve the quality of the images in the manuscript once they are in their best already.

Many thanks

It reads well thus far: We are afraid there is not much that we can do to improve the quality of the images in the manuscript once they are And then it doesn't read well: in their best already What are you saying in that last part? Can you explain a little more?

I think he wishes to say the images' quality is already optimal (in his words: "at best condition"), so unfortunately

there is nothing left to the company to do with it anymore.

In other words, he means that: "We're afraid there's not much that we can do to improve the images'

in the manuscript, as it's already at its optimal condition".
That's what I thought too, but then it seems strange to say (to a customer, I presume), in effect, "We can't improve anything for you because what we have done is already perfect"
