I uploaded a new version. --Xicotencatl 07:31, 6 July 2015 (UTC) The WB is much better but the ccw tilt is still present. Please see the verticals of the buildings. --Cccefalon 08:05, 6 July 2015 (UTC) Sorry, but I disagree that the image is tilted. The buildings look vertical to me. --Xicotencatl 06:50, 7 July 2015 (UTC) I left a note, how to judge the verticals. Just give it a try. However, it is only a very small rotation and should not be a reason to decline. --Cccefalon 02:50, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Why don´t you use the map-function in Lightroom? It´s simple, fast and very accurate. And you can tag many with just one click. --Hubertl (talk) 18:38, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your response.

The reason, why I asked was, that many of your pictures have some posterisation and - as it looks like - jpg-artifacts in the low structured, white sky. That makes it difficult for me, to promote this images. I was just thinking about, what the reason could be. Are you always going back to the origional (or a psd, or a 16bit-Tiff) when making some changes? Every new jpg conversion makes a picture worse, even when you use the lowest compression rate. I feel a bit helpless. Please make some tests or send me one of those original files, not per mail, use drive.google oder dropbox instead. I´m really very interested to check this out. Its really a pity! --Hubertl (talk) 19:28, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes, whenever I edit pictures, I go back to the original raw file in Lightroom. I really can't see the posterization you mention, but I reworked the file anyway. (This file for reference: [1]). Do you still see the posterization? If you do, as you suggested, I can send you the raw file of this and one or two others where you notice the same thing (just please point out which ones). Thanks! --Xicotencatl (talk) 05:47, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
