  • You should correct the colors - I don't think, they are realistic. --Thomas G. Graf 16:43, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • oppose unnatural colours -- Bernd Untiedt 14:53, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I guess you mean the redish cloud - it is just what I obtained from the Kodak-Photo-CD scan. Unfortunately I did not managed to fix this using Gimp. I uploaded a PNG version if somebody would like to fix the colors ... Andreas Tille 21:06, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I'll give it a try. Update: New version uploaded. Purge your caches. --MarkSweep 01:17, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Neutral. The colors still look fake (perhaps too saturated?). David.Monniaux 19:05, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • That may have been my fault. After the color adjustment it looked a bit pale for a Velvia slide, so I fiddled with the saturation. Andreas might be able to tell us either what his original slide looks like or what he thinks should be done about this image. --MarkSweep 20:05, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Well, if you look at the unchanged scan you will notice that the cloud has a red gloom which is definitely wrong. So the color of the sky is now quite OK even if it looks a little bit to saturated. At a second view the gras and the trees look very green now which is definitely not the case. If you look at the part of the gras near the back of the boat it should be more yellow than ligth green. So in general the saturation of the colors is now to sharp as David mentioned. Even if it was quite in the middle of the day the partly cloudy sky made the light not as sharp.

Another update: I've uploaded another version with less saturation and leaving in more of the red/magenta of the PCD scan. You'll notice that the border of the larger cloud is now more of a yellowish gray, compared with a blueish gray before. --MarkSweep 06:50, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support (my Oppose is cancelled) - colours now OK - Arpingstone 20:37, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support Why are people complaining? Thuresson 14:16, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Because this is Featured Pic not Nice Pic, and because we care - Arpingstone 16:10, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Adrian, if you have a moment, check out the latest version (this may involve forcing a reload to purge the cache) and tell us if you still think the colors look strange. --MarkSweep 04:19, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • OK, colours just fine now. Well done. - Arpingstone 21:20, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
        • After beeing some days offline (before beeing offline another couple of days): The colors do now fit my remembering of the day very close. If people now keep on complaining about the colors they have to claim reality for producing strange colors. Many thanks to Mark to take over a job I'm not skilled enouth for.
