IMHO. The other painting suffers from a strong noise reduction and intensively eliminates textures from the painting Wilfredor (talk) 20:55, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's the opposite: there's been no noise reduction in postprod and the texture of the paint and brushstrokes are much more visible, on faces for example, where we can see indeed lot of noise in the candidate image. Shonagon (talk) 22:26, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not in agreement, but I respect your opinion Wilfredor (talk) 22:48, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The (right) version is the current VIC proposition

I wanted to put this comparison side by side so you can see that the one on the left, your proposal, looks cleaner and smoother with softer colors due to the noise removal and coloring algorithm of the camera, while the one on the right shows stronger colors and more textures in the upper part of the painting, as you see more details you also see more imperfections in the canvas but it is also somewhat more real. --Wilfredor (talk) 23:13, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another comparison. Yes It's a question of taste. On the right we can see the canvas and a lit bit more details but there is more noise. The colors should not be too strong, because there are not like that in the painting and plus it can be an issue for other uses. On the left we can see the Delacroix's soft tones that the restoration has reveleaded, and the subtil red of the lips.

By the way, the 2 images could be improved: the one on left needs more unsharp mask (done for this detail), and for the one on right, the ratio width/height was not corrected after perspective correction (the width is too small or the height too large, cf.: https://collections.louvre.fr/ark:/53355/cl010065870 )

Thanks for the exploration in the images and therefore in the painting. Best regards --Shonagon (talk) 01:40, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The photos were taken almost a week apart, are you sure there was such a quick restoration? I didn't know that the proposal was actually a photo taken by you, otherwise I would have been more respectful with the comments. Thanks for share your picture Wilfredor (talk) 02:03, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Both photos are of the painting after restoration and in both photos we can see the dominance of cold colors and many details. You made several photos in Louvre that replace previous pictures (I love so much this one which is fantastic and moves me a lot), including some that I took, and that are really much better. Thank you and there is absolutly no offense. For this one, I sincerly prefer the photo I took for the reasons given. Best regards --Shonagon (talk) 02:32, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
