Mustard Edit

 * Reason:OK in the interests of transparency as per discussion here I'll do a renom. Note this version had already been promoted over the original by MER-C, however this got reverted because some users felt the original had the majority of support in the original nom. So just to make it clear to everyone this picture is already a FP and this nomination is only here to choose between the versions - if you don't think this image should be an FP you'll need to nominate it for delisting

 * Comment The edit has reduced noise, but I prefer the shading in the original. The edit looks more flat and edited than the original does, and the noise is only in the white background, so doesn't effect the actual subject much. Is there a way to reduce the noise but keep the shading the same. At the moment I think I prefer the original over the edit because of this. C  hris_huh talk 12:01, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah I could probably do that - I'll try do it sometime today --Fir0002 22:40, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * That looks better, i Support the edit2 without the lightening alteration. C  hris_huh talk 14:13, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - As far as I know this is not the right place to propose a replacement. And the FP is the original, not the edited version, otherwise nothing of this makes sense -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:27, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support original, Oppose edit - The original should have been promoted, not the edit. People may vote in an seemingly inconsistent fashion, but that's no reason to promote an edit that people didn't really consider. -- RM 20:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The original IS FP, now this edit is done, which is why we vote here, and since the edit is better, Support Edit  Y zm o  talk  21:28, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Re: RM "there's no reason to promote an edit that people didn't really consider"... that's entirely the point of this nomination. Consider the edit now! What should/shouldn't have happened is entirely irrelevant --Fir0002 22:40, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll admit, I don't know if there is still controversy over this issue, but I prefer the original. Comparing them at the same magnification, I prefer the original's level of contrast. -- RM 23:29, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment/ Weak oppose for the moment - the lightening in the edit seems to have caught the edges of some of the mustards where they come near to or over the edge of the spoon - most obviously the very tip of the bottom left mustard has gone grey-green; less obviously so have the top-left and bottom-right edges of the middle right mustard, and very marginally the top-left of the top-right mustard. I appreciate this is a tricky task, and the error is by no means huge; but perhaps enough at the moment to make me marginally prefer the original, as the shading and noise reduction only affect the background so don't affect encyclopedicity, whereas the errors affect the subject.  If these things can be fixed I do marginally prefer the new shading, and getting rid of the background noise is good.  TSP (talk) 00:15, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Edit 2, second preference original - as I say, I'd be happy with the lightening, but the colour alteration to the edges of some of the mustards isn't worth it. TSP (talk) 14:10, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Replace with Edit (as done in original promotion, and as is standard practice to promote an obviously improved version of an image). --jjron (talk) 07:14, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Edit 2, second preference original as per TSP. Samsara (talk • contribs) 18:55, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Replace with Edit. Better version. Kaldari (talk) 00:48, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Edit 2 - Just barely...the lightened one is too much change. pschemp | talk 05:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Edit 1 --Joopercoopers (talk) 15:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
