This blurry/noisy image needs cleanup[edit]

This image is currently locked today (as it appears on the Commons home page), but despite the fact it is quite unique and very interesting, it has a very poor quality (with lot of very visible noise and many color artefacts (the noise is bluish), not justifying that it uses a so large resolution.

Most probably, the source images were taken with a poor camera, or the author used a very bad software to recompose the panorama. May be he should publish here (or somewhere on his own website) his source images used to reassemble the panorama and correctly adjust the color/light superpositions without introducing new noise (and its current resolution shows that the resolution was artificially increased, the source images certainly had a much lower resolution, and the scaling up was made extremely badly (with a very bad image editing tool).

In all cases, this image should better be cleaned up, with all its very visible noise removed, and most probably its resolution too (due to noise reduction, its true resolution is MUCH lower than what is displayed here.

Why was such a poor quality image selected for the Commons home page, before performing this highly necessary cleanup' ? verdy_p (talk) 02:52, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am not very familiar with the FP election /delisting policy but in any case you should alter this image in any way you think it needs to and then propose to replace current image with your tweaked version -Justass (talk) 10:03, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
While there is merit to the idea of reducing the resolution (and a number of lower-resolution options are available at [1]), it's unwarranted to blame the camera or original author and/or accuse them of upscaling the image. The lengthy exposure time of each individual image - almost 50 seconds - means the original images will inevitably be somewhat blurred.

TooLarge[edit]

At over 15,000 pixels wide, I believe this image should include the TooLarge warning. Attys (talk) 20:34, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
