Talk:A View of Mount Fuji Across Lake Suwa

Altered Images


Hi. Yeah, you're right, that Met Museum image is a bit toned and doesn't seem as crisp, but although the Met file is smaller in size, it's seems higher res when zoomed close in, especially on their website. I just felt the Brooklyn one looked so cold and uninviting! The overcast sky and bare rock. Just my personal preference, no biggy.

I wonder which is the oldest? I guess the Brooklyn, it seems more basic, but both appear early and are almost certainly from the same keyblocks. Probably impossible to know for sure with expermentation often taking place during a print-run. Dark Clouds of Joy (talk) 04:36, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Aha, you're right, the file hosted by the Met is actually 3865 x 2632, hosted here on Commons too. Up to you, but I presume the Brooklyn print is less weathered or aged, might look into if there's details on it... It's also higher-contrast, which imo is a little better for the thumbnail in the infobox. ɱ  (talk) 14:18, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * After hours spent pouring over his pictures, the real world starts to look all Hokusai-esque... I spent a while zoomed tight into the MET image looking at the various mis-cuts and tamari blotches. These aren't really visible in the Brooklyn, which counts against it for me. Probably doesn't matter though. I do wonder whether anyone ever really examines the illustrations on articles, but then again, I thought that about external links and then someone left me a nice message about a video I linked to! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dark Clouds of Joy (talk • contribs) 14:46, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
