Rijksmuseum Amsterdam around 1895

Original - Photochrom picture of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam in Amsterdam, Netherlands around 1895

Edit 1 - counter-clockwise rotated

Reason: High resolution image of the building of Rijkmuseum Amsterdam circa 10 years after its opening. Currently the building is under renovation, but the museum is still one the most visited classical art museum in the Netherlands. Its collection contains many paintings of Dutch Masters such as Rembrandt and Vermeer. When viewed in full size, two horse-drawn vehicles and several pushcarts of the late nineteenth century are clearly identifiable.

Comment - I think it could use a tilt. My (currently) not-yet-awakened eye can't tell whether its tilted or not. Ceranllama chat post 11:12, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Needs counterclockwise rotation, significant uncorrected banding issues in sky. Would switch to support if these are addressed.Durova^Charge! 14:53, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have uploaded a counter-clockwise rotated version (Edit 1). The darker band in the middle of the sky is also on the original photo, I am not sure whether this should be corrected. If it should, I don't know how and could use some help with that. Rubenescio (talk) 10:42, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The thing to do is go in very carefully with the healing brush and blend the banded areas. It's laborious; this wasn't the best candidate for restoration. If you have a pre-histogram version to upload as a TIFF and would like a hand, please provide a link. No guarantees, but I'd give it a try. Durova^Charge! 03:58, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what file you are asking for, would this one do? Rubenescio (talk) 07:36, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
