Dear Gordo and list Thanks - I didn't know about HDR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-dynamic-range_imaging
This phenomenon was troubling me too, and now I have a name for it. Personally, all I do before uploading images to Commons is the occassional rotation, crop or slight sharpen. However, I've been uploading too many images to have time for much else. As for WLM, I don't recall any mention in the judging criteria of the desirability (or otherwise) of various post-processing techniques. If I was looking to select an image for a Wikipedia article, I would be reluctant to choose a heavily-stylized image. Of course, WLM and Commons are not looking to merely provide an image bank for Wikipedia. Perhaps the judges could consider providing some guidance about HDR and other post-processing techniques for next year's WLM ? best wishes Edward Hands (Edwardx) On 12 December 2014 at 12:57, Gordon Joly <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > during the creation of a calendar of the most impressive photos from > > Wiki Loves Monuments UK 2014 (and several other countries) I learned > > about re-use: > > > > * "Wiki Loves Monuments" is not a registered trademark - the publisher > > was very afraid of violating a trademark > > * photos without description nearly useless ("Church" is not an adequate > > description) > > * low resolution is a common problem > > * in the publishing industry nobody knows about Creative Commons > > licenses ("Is CC-BY-SA-3.0 the artist's name?") > > * landscape mode beats upright mode > > > Can I say how much I dislike the very obvious of HDR in many images?
