 * Comment Equalisation is a very strange choice for trying to do something about faded colours. Sort of like throwing a grenade into your living room because you can't find the keys to your tank car. How is it justified in this case over something more conservative?

 * I agree. The colors of the original look superior to me. I'm also concerned of the rather harsh compression. O.J. (talk) 22:22, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose this one. A few reasons: Prefer the original colours; something weird happened to cause a 2.5 mb file to balloon into 8 mb, and compression. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:11, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * @Crisco 1492:do you know a histogram? Please take a look to the image histogram, from the original image, version 2th Dez. 2011! --Alchemist-hp (talk) 00:41, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
