Thyssen-Krupp-Quartier in Essen
It could also be because at that time of year, Essen has what I call "dark gray nights", in which it never gets darker than astronomical twilight; this picture's timestamp, in fact, indicates it was taken during late civil twilight. So, good thinking by the photographer to combine the advantages of both all-night blue hour and long exposure. Daniel Case (talk) 17:59, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Hildefonz can you save your photos with a colour profile please, as without this it will not display the correct colours for many users. See Set up color management. I think you want the "Always Optimize Colors For Computer Screens" option and to "ICC Profile in the Save As dialog box" (select an sRGB profile). (I don't use Elements so not expert at how it works). Laitche, your derivative has significantly shifted the colours. Was that deliberate or did you import/choose the wrong colour profile? -- Colin (talk) 11:05, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • What have you got Photoshop set to do with images that lack a profile? It should be set to default to sRGB but if you use e.g. ProPhotoRGB as your "working space" then you might have imported as that. It is always worth getting Photoshop to prompt you about what to do when opening an image without a colourspace. You might also need to "assign" a profile to this image, so that when you save your derivative, it is saved with a profile. -- Colin (talk) 11:51, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Colin: The original has FujiXT1-Generic profile and I am using Google Chrome, seems Chrome is ignoring that profile so on my monitor(Chrome), the original and derivative look the same colors cause I nullified the profile when I edited it. And Photoshop's Camera RAW cannot handle FujiXT1-Generic profile hence I cannot correct the perspective with FujiXT1-Generic profile... So if they needed I would re-make the derivative after the author save the file as sRGB, Regards. --Laitche (talk) 12:32, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Laitche, I think I must have got confused about which image I was examining. Yes the original does have a colour profile, but it is an odd one with "Lab" ProfileConnectionSpace rather than "XYZ" and this may be why Chrome and ACR refuse to handle it. However, you can fix this. Open the original in Photoshop. If you try to add a Camera RAW filter then it refuses with that colour profile. However if you "Edit/Convert to profile" to sRGB, then you can add a Camera Raw filter and do your perspective correction. This will also save the image as sRGB. -- Colin (talk) 15:46, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Colin: I know that way but not sure the author is seeing this photo with the profile or without besides, of course I don't know the real colors of this scene therefore I cannot do that. And I guess most of voters (including me) are seeing profile-less colors since Firefox ignores this profile as well. --Laitche (talk) 15:44, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well they are probably voting for the wrong colours then, which is double reason to oppose this JPG. My Firefox sees the profile fine, but I have gfx.color_management.enablev4 set to true (see about:config on Firefox), which is not the default. I guess this is a V4 colour profile. If you see a lovely bright "blue hour" image with orange-golden interior lights on the building, and green leaves on the trees, then you are seeing it correctly IMO; if you see a grey-blue sky with pale gold lights and olive-grey leaves, then I think that's wrong. The "blue hour" sky when photographed by a digital camera is often vivid, not dull. -- Colin (talk) 12:02, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
