Brian--
I don't think of even negative
feedbacks as "confrontations," but rather, discussions about a subject we all
love. Any legitimate feedback I consider useful, especially
when it's explained WHY such an
conclusion, good or bad was reached.
When I posted the
"Jeffersonville St. Patrick's Parade" series, allowing for the bright greens to
remain intact despite RR, I wanted feedback, and was just as pleased when
some
registered complaints. It
was a learning experience, and I hope more such comments will come my way.
As you know, I'm not shy about commenting but just to be
considerate I now take more
into account of the sensitivities of some members. Rather than becoming
falsely effusive, I no longer comment on members' submissions that I
feel are likely to be offended, even though
that's never been my
intention.
I'm glad that you have now
indicated your dislike for my attempts to compromise some reds for RR.
It's that kind of statement that I appreciate and consider helpful. It may
mean that it's time to either
abandon the practice or refine the technique. For that comment of yours
I'm grateful!

Subject: RE: [Anaglyphs] Classic Red
Truck/Marshall
Marshall,
This version
of an anaglyph "near red truck" is fine with me.
I didn't bother trying
to make my version "near red" with alterations. I simply used the readily
available "Optimize Anaglyph" selection with no additional tweaking. The
version appeared to be to be near orange (to me) more than green, and didn't
have R/R, so that was fine with me.
I can see when conversing with
you, that my mistake was to include the word "Red" anywhere in the Title or
text. I did that because I used the same title in both the X and A
versions and it was meant as a referral to the original color of the
truck. I should maybe have just said "Classic Truck".
As you
and I both have stated previously, color is not that big a deal when it comes to
anaglyphs (for us), especially when it comes to originally red subjects.
My biggest concern there is reducing/eliminating R/R.
I have not
commented on most of your images since your return primarily because I was a
little dismayed at your attempts to present images with subjects of red tones at
the expense of R/R. Although you would probably respond back by saying you
would rather me have commented on what I thought was wrong specifically, I
really didn't want to get into it with you namely because your the man with
years of experience and I thought you should already see what I see and if not,
my telling you my opinon would not convince you otherwise. I'd just rather
stay out of such confrontations where judging from past experience it usually
doesn't resolve anything.
Cheers,
Brian

Brian--
I grabbed your X-view and
de-saturated it in PS to about -40 (while viewing with glasses) and then
imported the R and L chips
into SPM, processing w/o the
program's alteration features. The result as I see it is a truck that
although it's not a bright red is at least reddish. Do
you
think this sort of technique is
worth exploring for other normally red subjects?
