Image talk:Lenna.png

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The image was being used to illustrate what a standard test image looks like in the article standard test image, and in that context it is replaceable. However, when used to illustrate the particular image it cannot be considered replaceable. --Oden 21:40, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

This is a historic image, and important when recounting the history of image file formats and test images. It's irreplaceable and should be kept in both articles.—Chowbok ☠ 19:00, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Note: I have removed the replaceable template - there was a strong consensus to keep all of the Standard test images at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2007 January 14 --BigDT 20:37, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PNG?

I know that PNG is the preferred standard non-lossy format for use on wikipedia, but wouldn't it be more appropriate to upload the original TIF file Alexander Sawchuk first scanned in 1973? As a reference image, you'd think you'd want the most accurate reproduction of the original possible; and since PNG hadn't been invented in 1973, recompressing it as PNG can only make it worse.24.68.145.153 (talk) 08:48, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
