Evaluate these corrections

Evaluate these images (corrections)

I have some textures sets. One is LOD15 and one is LOD16. The LOD15 set is very yellow color and more dark than LOD16 files. So I tried to apply some contrast / brightness change. I would like to know what do you think which terrain looks better before I will decide which contrast I will apply on scenery textures sets.

You can see the pictures. Please evaluate which pictures are the better. But do it separately, because LOD16 uses different level of correction than LOD15 textures.

I think you should view the images from back, the order if from the last to the fisrt. So click on last image and then click on previous to see it in this order:

First, here are originals:
LOD16vsLOD15 2.jpg, LOD16vsLOD15 3.jpg, LOD16vsLOD15 4.jpg

Next here is 1st level of change:
LOD16vsLOD15 2 contrast 1 on LOD15.jpg - LOD16 on left, LOD15 on right. Here the change is on right side on LOD15.
LOD16vsLOD15 2 contrast 1 on both.jpg - here the change is on both LODs
LOD16vsLOD15 3 contrast 1 on both.jpg - here the change is on both LODs


Next, here is 2nd level of change:
LOD16vsLOD15 3 contrast 2 menší.jpg - here the change is on both LODs

Next, here is 3nd level of change:
LOD16vsLOD15 3 contrast 3 menší.jpg - here the change is on both LODs

Just select one best image for LOD15 (darker) and one best for LOD16 (sunny). You cannt say e.g. "best image is image 'LOD16vsLOD15 2 contrast 1 on both.jpg' because you should select one image for LOD15 and one for LOD16". And one more thing. Please check all files for "contrast 1", "contrast 2" and "contrast 3", because you can see that "contrast 1" has more images of certain LOD. So if you will select one image for LOD16 from "contrast 1" as OK but another for LOD16 from "contrast 1" as bad quality, so you cannot select "contrast 1" as good for LOD16.

Thanks.

Folks, is it so hard? I just wanted to read your opinion which image is by your opinion the "too much light" or "too much dark" or just which one you think is the best. I think I know what contrast I will use, but wanted to have some feedback before I would do some decision which could not be the best one...

Hi,

Which image looks best will probably have a lot of personal preference in it as well. We had similar discussions in our scenery design team years ago and not every developer liked the same version. A factor is also that different monitors might show the results differently. So in the end I think you should just choose what you feel looks best.

Personally I think the 3rd image you are showing looks best.

OK, thanks. It is "LOD16vsLOD15 3 contrast 1 on both.jpg" - the lowest contrast level.
