Jimmy Wales Fundraiser Appeal

Jimmy Wales from December 2008

Its in my opinion, the best image we have of Jimbo, its very high resolution, and has been on the article Jimmy Wales sense December 31st 2008. I uploaded this image to commons from the foundation website a while ago and I just recently decided to put it up for VP status at Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Jimmy Wales Fundraiser Appeal, and an editor suggested that this may be a good FP, so I decided to get some other editors opinions before putting in a FP nom :).

• Okay, this has actually bothered me since I supported this at VPC. Can someone explain why when I see the image on its WP (or Commons) imagepage, the image is much less red than when I open the actual file? See my screenshots below. Based on the screenshots, I don't think it's my monitor (either my laptop or external one). ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 23:51, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

• • The same thing happens with me. Better raise it somewhere where it may get more attention --Muhammad(talk) 04:22, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

      • The file was using the adobe RGB colour space. "Dumb" browsers just assume everything is sRGB. The wiki thumbnail generator, and some browsers read the colour space information and interpret it correctly. I have uploaded a new sRGB version which should stop the trouble.

        • It's still doing it for me. I'm using Safari, does that make a difference? ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 19:29, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
          • Try Control-Alt R, or the mac equivalent (I can't remember what it is). Noodle snacks (talk) 01:30, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
