Nominated by: ToBeFree (talk) on 2022-01-08 23:25 (UTC)
Scope: Messier 45 – Pleiades star cluster
Reason: The original file is a 49.1 MiB TIFF ([1]). I have downloaded it and converted it to a lossless PNG using imagemagick. The current Valued Image (.jpg) was promoted 31 December 2008 (1.99 MB JPEG). Recompressing to a quality-100 JPEG, however, takes over 20MiB, and even this isn't lossless. So the current Valued Image is a very lossy JPEG that can be replaced by this lossless PNG. -- ToBeFree (talk)
Oppose The JPG is slightly but noticeably sharper at review size. I don't understand why I can't edit its entry here to support, but considering that this is VIC, how lossy an image is when viewed at larger sizes is irrelevant. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:37, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply] Scores: 1.

Dimorphic or Lycoa acraea (Acraea lycoa lycoa) female dorsal edit

View opposition
Nominated by: Charles (talk) on 2016-12-02 12:29 (UTC)
Scope: Acraea lycoa (Lycoa acraea) dorsal
Support Useful --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:37, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply] Oppose The greater part of the butterfly is unsharp. --Jacek Halicki (talk) 23:17, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply] Comment Of course it is not a perfect image. Still valuable for identifying the species. Remember, I could say for many VIs of views: 'The greater part of the xxx is not visible' Charles (talk) 10:23, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply] I think images with basic technical defects should not receive any awards. VI is not QI, but there are some borders of quality that should be taken into account when evaluating images. --Jacek Halicki (talk) 11:13, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply] This image is not of a landscape or immobile building. Charles (talk) 23:00, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply] Support This may have a sharpness issue, but it's the best we have currently. I don't think the sharpness issue is damaging to the EV too much either. The butterfly is still clearly and easily identifiable. lNeverCry 18:53, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply] `Result: 2 support, 1 oppose => promoted.

Scope: Commerzbank Tower
Support Useful & used. Difficult choice. There are many photos of this building.--Famberhorst (talk) 07:27, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply] Indeed, there are. One thing I have found is that more notable scopes tend to not have valued images because of the difficulty in reviewing them, whereas scopes with one or two images often do have VIs. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 12:10, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply] `Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.

Question Clearly superior, but aren't we looking at the other side? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:38, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply] Comment Yes, it's a 3-sided building, but I don't think multiple scopes are needed for different angles since the building is relatively uniform. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 12:14, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply] Comment The colors and shapes look very different to me in the two photos. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:05, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply] Comment The color difference looks minimal to me and is probably because the first photo is backlit. As for the shape... we're merely looking at it from an adjacent side, so the spire is now on the opposite side of the building. Not much else looks out of place to me. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 01:08, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply] Question The black thing on the right side? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:20, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply] Comment That is a separate building, the Omniturm. Personally I thought it was obvious that it was a different building, but I'm familiar with the buildings in the area, and now that you mention it I can see how people might get confused. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 14:40, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply] OK, Support as best in scope, but it would be good to improve the file description. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:41, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply] Scores: 1.
