Aida edit
- Reason
- I think this poster - almost certainly showing the triumphal march in Act II, Scene 2 - is one of the best images we have for Verdi operas. A rather nice, detailed lithograph, as well, if not, perhaps, the most delicate. If I missed anything, just tell me and I'll do my best to fix it up.
- Articles this image appears in
- Aida. Could reasonably go in others, but this will do for now.
- Creator
- The Otis Lithograph Co
Support as nominatorSupport Alt 1 - Kaldari's right. It's better. I was so busy fixing the damage that I forgot completely about colour (also, I looked at the bar, but didn't realise the leftmost one was magenta, with red next to it. Magenta looked such a bright red....) --Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 01:32, 26 February 2009 (UTC)- Support. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 12:17, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Needs sharpening. What happens with a lot of these slide film reproductions is that the focus may be slightly soft. If you don't have a 'sharpen edges' filter on your software, load an uncompressed file and I'll do it. Only takes a minute. Otherwise ready to support. DurovaCharge! 16:56, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- I don't have one beyond a basic "sharpen" tool, as far as I can tell, but I've been automatically uploading a PNG as well as a JPG for all these images. See Image:Giuseppe Verdi - Hippodrome Opera Company - Aida_poster.png. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 17:25, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Support Alt 1. Colors corrected per color key in original photograph. Edges sharpened. Kaldari (talk) 18:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
