- Support. The resolution of this image is far higher. It should be noted that many of Prokudin-Gorskii's photographs which are listed on this page at the Library of Congress are available in high resolution (3000x3000) TIFFs. Unfortunately, nearly every Prokudin-Gorskii image on the Commons is around 700x700. The user who has uploaded these images has simply taken the LOC's jpg and uploaded it, rather than downloading the high-res TIFF and converting it to a PNG. Yes, I am aware that these files are large, but we are doing this for posterity, and need to remember that. --Zantastik 02:12, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC) P.S. Actually, I'm new to this and I realize that I probably should have just made it into a jpg..
- Well, a JPEG would have entailed lossy compression, which introduces some slight "artefacts". TIFF and PNG are lossless. David.Monniaux 07:38, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Good point. But perhaps we should include my PNG and a JPG, just so that people don't have to download a 10MB file when it's used in an article. We should have a perfect quality image in the archive, and a ~1MB jpg as well. As I'm terribly busy at the moment, perhaps someone else could do this. --Zantastik 07:49, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- People never download the 10MB file when it's used in an article. MediaWiki resizes the pictures to the requested size of "thumbnails"; such resized images are cached automatically. David.Monniaux 14:32, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Support, but is there a version with less doors and more bearded guy? Thuresson 14:06, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, there is not.
