Kinda sick of looking at film posters in GIMP today though... this morning was dedicated to To Be or Not to Be and I'm not entirely pleased with the results. Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:47, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't both of the others appear to have much deeper greens? Compare his hands for example. Also the Christies' images have more purple in her dress and in the "curtain" behind "It comes to life!". Since there are only two complete copies known to exist we don't have much of a comparison set and it could be that this image has the right colour balance and the other reproductions are off, but I wanted to check you didn't alter the colours and that they they look similar to your original source.

  • Oh, haven't touched the colours. The only modifying I did was removing a slight green scanning artifact after this was nominated. The original upload is the same as the file on the LA library's site. (only two copies? Oh my) Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:02, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
