E*sequiturs Seq 6 Tree Sparrow link notification 081031
Dear Laitche:

This e-mail to let you know that I'm linking to your beautiful Tree Sparrow photo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tree_Sparrow_August_2007_Osaka_Japan.jpg) in my upcoming experimental e-book, "e*sequiturs" (http://www.esequiturs.com; launch late Fall 2008). Of course, you will be appropriately cited in the webliography.

I'm writing to thank you for posting this important work, and to convey my hopes that you will keep it posted FOREVER (and NEVER change the URL).

Thank you again for posting this important work. Sorry for cluttering your Wiki page, but found no contact link on your website.

Sincerely, David St.-Lascaux dstlascaux@gmail.com 24.44.137.5 (talk) 01:29, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

the signature
This is how the sig looks in my browser. Font tags are totally ninties ;-). Plus the font you specify is so specific that most people probably won't have it, and the size you specify makes the sig look humongous. Is that intentional? If not check out the em unit in CSS. --Dschwen 16:35, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That's not intentional. I didn't know that.
 * I should not use that font tag. Thanks. Anyway, here is in my monitor => sig-sample. Ha ha ha. -- Laitche (talk) 16:59, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh. Yeah, that looks much prettier :-). Too bad it doesn't seem to work for everybody. --Dschwen 17:37, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Regarding, I worked from your JPG, obviously. You're more than welcome to try the same technique (or use any technique) and redo the image from your original file, in order to make sure quality is the best it can be. Cheers! – Kerαu noςco pia ◁ gala xies 04:00, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Btw Laitche, my correction for the above image was wrong. I used Lab to create a mask in the red/green spectrum, which wasn't the problem. But instead of reducing the red saturation with a hue/saturation adjustment (or similar), I ended up using a curves layer to pull the red toward the green color, resulting in changing the actual color, not desaturating it. I didn't realize my mistake until a few days ago. I thought I'd clarify and apologize here since I saw your name on the FPC page again :) As for the saturation of the rose, that was my own opinion, others found it okay. – Kerαu noςco pia ◁ gala xies 17:11, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
