'''Request:''' I uploaded the first version of this painting last year. Today, I got a much higher resolution scan of this painting. But, if you compare the new version of this painting (above) to [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/8/8e/20100628192455!Portrait-of-William-B.-Kurtz-large.jpg the old version], the color balance in the new version is a bit off, and the new version has a spot on his forehead that shouldn't be there.

:*PawełMM did the right thing by uploading the new image separately. Photography of artworks is very tricky, and it seems to me that the original colors could be either one of these. I haven't seen this painting in person, so I can't tell for sure. Hopefully Raul654 does.

::I haven't seen the original painting firsthand because it's not in a public collection. It's owned by Daniel Dietrich II. I've asked Mr. Dietrich through a mutual friend if I can photograph his collection, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.
::Regardless, though, I'm not totally satisfied with PawełMM's version. [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/8/8e/20100628192455!Portrait-of-William-B.-Kurtz-large.jpg This version] (the old low-res one) seems to be exactly what we should be shooting for. The high resolution one I uploaded (above, left) has over-saturated skin tone; PawełMM's version has the right skin tone, but the rest of it looks washed out.

:::There are two color changed versions. The second one is a bit little washed out. Please, compare with [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/e/eb/20100629084755%21Portrait-of-William-B.-Kurtz-large-2.jpg], if it is better - you can return to it.

I hadn't noticed PawełMM's first uploaded version. That is exactly what I was looking for. I've tweaked it (photoshopped out a couple of dark specs that shouldn't have been there) and re-uploaded. [[User:Raul654|Raul654]] ([[User talk:Raul654|talk]]) 21:34, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
:Well, it seems you guys have solved it while I was working on another version! I uploaded my suggestion above, where I also cropped the intrusive remnants of the frame. I kept de-saturation to a minimum to keep the rich colors captured in the high-res image. What do you think? -- [[User:Orionist|<font color="#0066CC">'''Orionist'''</font>]] ★ [[User talk:Orionist|<font color="#0066CC">talk</font>]] 22:00, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
