  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
