Hi, following on yesterday's short discussion with Mo, I've noticed few differences between Samuele's jpg [1] and the source xcf [2] from which Ian's versions [3] were apparently generated. Since I think Samuele's version is more refined I decided to give it a go and try to bring the xcf sources closer to that. What I especially don't like in the Ian's version is the mirroring effect on the bottom waves. I've fixed this in xcf by actually displaying the overlaying layer (which had previously sort of strange mask set). But because I like the blue version more, I've slightly changed the colours as well. Next, I've played with the visibility and colours of many of the lion layers to make the lion look closer to Samuele's jpg as well, but somehow it ended up being brighter... I suspect the mask layers in the xcf are somehow different from what Samuele used to generate his jpeg (looks like instead of containing 2 Bytes of information per pixel [aka greyscale], they are just 1 Bit [only black and white]). Finally I've created one version without the stripes over lion, which I consider distracting and don't like them. I've also removed some weird stripes on each side of the picture. It makes the picture less cluttered. Here are the exported JPGs [4][5], I'll upload the source xcf too (but on the wiki) if one of the designs would be accepted. Thanks, Martin References: [1] https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/e/e4/King_4070x1536.jpg [2] https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/f/ff/King_4070x1536.xcf.bz2 [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/F11/RC#Wallpaper [4] http://mso.fedorapeople.org/wallpapers/leonidas/King_4070x1536_2.jpg [5] http://mso.fedorapeople.org/wallpapers/leonidas/King_4070x1536_3.jpg
