Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. --whym (talk) 14:06, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

I've downloaded this image and looked at it with Photoshop on two different monitors at up to 400%. I don't see the posterisation you mention. I have found in the past that some browsers cause posterisation as they crudely map the JPG's colourspace onto my monitor's colourspace using nearest-colour rather than dithering like quality image tools do. Also some monitors may posterise simply because they can't handle the image with graduations. Colin (talk) 15:40, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

I put the notes in the nomination page, please see that. I believe there are posterisations :) --Laitche (talk) 16:00, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Incidentally I bought a new monitor which can display AdobeRGB colourspace. (DELL U2413) --Laitche (talk) 16:07, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

I've got a Dell UltraSharp 27" (not the 2013 version) that I usually set to AdobeRGB. Generally I find browsers do a poor job of displaying sRGB images (i.e. everything) if set to be colourspace-aware. They posterise. So I've ended up setting Firefox to not try and just live with the reds being a bit too vivid on that monitor. I can either press a few buttons on the monitor to go to sRGB mode or else download the JPG and look at it in a decent image tool like Photoshop. Or I can open the browser on my other monitor (an IIYAMA set to sRGB) and look at it on that. It is a pain. If JPGs weren't so crappy 8-bit and if Windows wasn't still crappy 8-bit we wouldn't have this so bad. Your and my displays are capable of 10-bit colour, but you won't be able to see that as there's next to no support in software or on graphics cards.

As for the image, we'll see if anyone else spots a problem. Such tonal gradients really push JPGs to their limits. Colin (talk) 16:28, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm using graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 6800). Anyway I can see the posterization in U2413 using multimedia mode but standard mode and sRGB mode I can't see the posterization. --Laitche (talk) 16:50, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Here's what my monitor manual says. Yours will be similar:

• Standard: Mode suitable for desktop applications.
• Multimedia: Mode for multimedia applications, eg video playback.
• Game: Mode suitable for gaming applications.
• Warm: Select warm mode to obtain a red tint.
• Cool: Select cool mode to obtain a bluish tint.
• Adobe RGB: This mode is compatible with Adobe RGB (96% coverage)
• sRGB: Emulates 72% NTSC color.

Only the latter two are factory calibrated. Your monitor should have come with a CD and some colour profiles to let your OS know the settings. You need to decide if you want to use sRGB colour space or AdobeRGB colour space and these profiles will tell the OS which. Once you've installed them then choose the appropriate mode.

What photo software do you use? It is pretty important, if you have a wide gamut monitor, to set things up right. With older monitors everything assumed sRGB or thereabouts. For the simplest life, pick sRGB and work with sRGB for your images. I've got mine set to AdobeRGB to gain the richer colours the monitor can show, but I know that this is a pain at times, and on the web everything is sRGB anyway. Colin (talk) 17:07, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm using Windows 8 and photoshop CS5. Yeah I know sRGB monitor setting is most suitable on the web photo though the room lights also effected the colours so I was using multimedia mode but I will reconsider about that. Thanks Colin ✿ --Laitche (talk) 17:26, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Interview for Wikimedia blog

Hi Laitche,

I hope sending this message in English is okay, as I, regretably, do not speak Japanese.

My name is Donna and I'm a communications volunteer with the Wikimedia Foundation in San Francisco. I hope sending this message in English is okay, but let me know if you would prefer another language. We have a feature on the Wikimedia blog [1] to profile the photographers behind the beautiful photos that become Picture of the Day (POTD) on Wikimedia Commons. You can see some of our past POTD posts here: https://blog.wikimedia.org/c/communications/picture-of-the-day/

Given that your photo "Iris ensata Thunb" is scheduled for 21 July, we'd love to do a short interview with you by email to discuss your photography and your POTD. Please let me know if you would be interested! You can email me DPeterson@wikimedia.org or respond on my talk page. Thanks,
