Kujaku Myoo (Mahamayuri)
Sorry, I still don't understand your argument. This is a scan of the original. How could the original be featured here, if commons only allows to upload "png, gif, jpg, jpeg, xcf, mid, ogg, ogv, svg, djvu, tiff, tif, oga" and not hanging scrolls? Also, could you be more specific of what you mean by curve correction? bamse (talk) 22:00, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is simple the scan work is bad. I think the scanner wasn't calibrated. The colors are not right for me, too yellowish. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 22:06, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Did you see the original? bamse (talk) 22:40, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, but I think can read a histogram. The RGB chanels can't be real. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 22:45, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think the white balance is also a problem. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 22:56, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
With all due respect, if you haven't seen the original, you can't claim that it is too yellow or that the WB is off IMHO. bamse (talk) 23:33, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Of course he can, or what do you think a thing like a histogram is made for?! Regards mathias K 22:03, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So, if you look at a histogram of a picture of a yellow wall, you will also claim that it is too yellow? bamse (talk) 00:52, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, why should I? But I could say that the type of yellow is correct or not. --mathias K 08:38, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Without having seen the wall in real? bamse (talk) 14:23, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I definitely could say if there's any colour cast. And thats the case in your candidate. The rest is nitpicking imo. --mathias K 17:00, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am looking and looking at the histogram, but can't see anything. Could you tell me what to look for? bamse (talk) 23:53, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Dit you compare your candidate and the alternate? I think there should be a difference between them when you're looking at the histogram. --mathias K 13:47, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I did. The ALT-version has a bit wider peaks (=higher contrast) which is fine with me. The ALT-version also has the peaks of all colors coincide (=highlights are white) while in the original version, the peaks of the red and green channels are to the right of the blue channel peak (=slight yellow cast, which I believe is inherent in the artwork). Anything else I should have noticed? I believe that the original is closer to what the piece actually looks due to aging. The ALT version is probably more pleasing to the eye, but neither represents todayy's state of the artwork nor the state when it was painted in the 12th century. In my opinion, with reproductions of artwork it is important to be as close to what the artwork looks in reality and that's why I prefer the original version. bamse (talk) 17:03, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Should this house be white?
