Consensual review[edit]

File:Risstal_03_–_Richtung_Almdorf_Eng.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination: Rißtal (valley of the river Riss) in Tyrol, Austria. --Cayambe 09:24, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Review
  •  Support Good quality. --Ercé 09:33, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Blue hue doesn't look natural. --Draceane 10:02, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
  • weak Oppose Indeed the sky is a bit purple, should be easy to fix in raw conversion. --Plozessor 05:56, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
Removing my vote as I have retouched the file. --Plozessor 11:18, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
  • ✓ Done Blue hue reduced. Better now?--Cayambe 19:44, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
  • @Cayambe: Unfortunately not, now it's really bad. You somehow reduced the saturation of the mountains and sky, but also of a part of the trees. Now the trees below the mountain are green at the bottom and grey at the top. You should take the original version and change purple to blue. In Photoshop you'd do that with selective color adjustment, select purple tones and adjust the tone to be more blue and less purple. --Plozessor 19:49, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
Thank you Plozessor. The 'selective color adjustment' works best for the RAW file, which inadvertently I had deleted and is lost now. I was not successful in performing the purple-blue toning correction in the tiff-version in PS. Best regards,--Cayambe 11:07, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
@Cayambe: @Draceane: Gave it a try myself, what do you think? --Plozessor 11:18, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 Comment Why and in which cases should "selective colour adjustment" actually be necessary for landscape photos? (Serious question. With this photo here, it seems to have gone thoroughly wrong, in every version.) --Smial 13:41, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
@Smial: I guess something went wrong in raw conversion. In any case, in the original picture, all colors looked fine except for shades of blue, those appeared slightly purple. Adjusting brightness and hue for shades of blue improved the appearance. Of course it would have been better to adjust colors during raw conversion, but unfortunately the author does not have the raw file anymore. --Plozessor 14:10, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
@Smial: @Plozessor: It still appears a bit strange, we're not used to see neither colors in the reality. It's a pity, the capture is really nice, but I cannot get over the bluish hues. --Draceane 20:34, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi all of you :-), distant rocky mountains always appear with a bluish hue in photos... and also in TV cameras and screens, this simply because these mountains appear in reality like that. If we don't see that hue, it is because our brain corrects it to a greyish colour, similarly to the correction of the reddish hue of a white sheet of paper under a lamp with reddish light. I agree that this hue should be corrected... similarly to the perspective correction. --Cayambe 16:56, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
@Cayambe: That can be debated (and whether the picture should be retouched to meet human perception). But in this case, no issue with blue, the original problem was that the mountains and sky were not blue but purple. --Plozessor 05:41, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
Total: 1 support (excluding the nominator), 1 oppose → Inconclusive result after 8 consensual review days   --Robert Flogaus-Faust 21:43, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
