Alt 1 – changed background to match ghost colors
Hey Colin. I have the .psd file in AdobeRGB, I can upload that over this file and either revert back to sRGB for web viewing or leave the AdobeRGB file as the most recent upload. What do you think? – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 20:22, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, I'm not sure. I think Lightroom/Photoshop dither when converting colourspaces (rather than the simple nearest-colour algorithm that browsers use that causes posterisation). So any fears I have over lossy conversion might not in practice be visible. And the advantage that the sRGB will show properly for more people is a definite gain, rather than my theoretical loss. Have you considered contacting the original photographer: perhaps they an regenerate an sRGB one for the web, and fix any processing issues people see. Colin (talk) 08:19, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The only means of communicating with him that I could find is through Twitter, probably the most pathetic way of getting in touch with anyone (but I tried a few days ago anyway). No reply, not a big surprise there. Ah well. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 18:12, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose-- Unfortunate post-processing problems: ugly posterization of the right background; pink "ghosts" between the left-side hairs; the post-processing messed the left of the chin and the top-center of the hairs, leaving these parts confused while the whole picture is sharp. Please re-process. Sting (talk) 22:58, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
None of that is my doing, that's in the original photo. I could try and go in and attempt to correct the pink ghosts. The 'posterization' looked more like texture to me. I did an on-purpose extreme curves tweak just to see what was going on back there and it doesn't look like posterization to me (I could very well be wrong). As for the chin, I'm not sure I follow you. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 01:51, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, at first I thought the background was posterised but now I think it is just that the photographer's textured sky background is in focus rather than blurred. Colin (talk) 08:19, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a printed background pattern but definitely an over-processing problem and it's even more obvious where the background interacts with the hairs. Sting (talk) 14:08, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What? I'm confused. The image is used in its article and will probably be moved back to lead soon. There's been a lot of unstableness with this image simply due to some sockpuppetry going on, but I didn't think that mattered on Commons, hence my nomination here instead of over at en w. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 16:13, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The image is a good illustration of the subject, but not so much of portrait photography. Penyulap ☏ 10:33, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
