Info Fresco of the dome of the Abbey of Santa Maria del Monte in Cesena, painted by Giuseppe Milani between 1771 and 1774. This work was redone due to the serious earthquake that occurred in the southern Emilia Romagna region on 20 October 1768.

Comment Some of the blues and greens on the left and right sides look really strange. The angel on the lower right is particularly weird-looking. I hope that's not really how he looks on that ceiling. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:56, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ah yeah, I've experienced this in dark areas when stitching together 8-bit TIFFs in Hugin, but the problem goes away when I use 16-bit TIFFs. (Both types of source files are exported straight from Lightroom, and there's nothing wrong with the source files.) I see from the EXIF that the uploader used Darktable, so I suspect there might be some open-source library shared by Hugin and Darktable related to exposure adjustment that is causing this issue. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:01, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ikan Kekek: and King of ♥ Thank you for showing your correct consideration on this matter. The central part is sufficiently illuminated, while the edge is almost dark. Trying to balance shadows and lights (using Darktable), strange colors and noises can be created, especially in the less illuminated parts, i.e. the right side. I was interested in showcasing the incredible work of a distinguished unknown painter named Giuseppe Milani, so I uploaded a circular alternate version. It may seem incredible, but the fresco was created in just four years... Terragio67 (talk) 05:55, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the alternative shows that colours are not to be trusted (they look washed out anyways). Weird blue dots as mentioned by Ikan (and I can confirm I get them in Hugin as well). It is also not particularly sharp. - Benh (talk) 11:56, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I regret that I wasn't up to the task, having overprocessed a cropped image. Please clear your cache as I have uploaded a better image. You might be annoyed by my decision to adopt a new reddish-black background, but in the end (eventually), it's an easy task to restore it to a black or gray color. What is important is the colors and sharpness of the new version. Let me know, please. Terragio67 (talk) 14:08, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. I'm not sure whether the circular composition works or not, but I will look again another day. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:30, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm about to withdraw, but I don't want to leave feeling like I made the circular cutout to hide something unsuccessful in the margins. As soon as possible I will do it appropriately in a new version. Terragio67 (talk) 11:33, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
