The one thing that bothers me more than it should, it's than the new photos are not taken at the same angle and/or distance than the original ones, making the comparison worse than it could.
- StavrosK 11y agoYou should keep in mind that getting the lens focal length right is very important here, and it's something that's rather hard to do if you don't know what the original focal length and film size was.
- Gravityloss 11y agoIt shouldn't be that hard if you have the original photo with you when taking the new picture. Simply look at the proportion of near and far objects and walk back and forth until they are the same as in the old picture.
- StavrosK 11y agoIt's pretty much impossible to get the two photos to match pixel by pixel just by looking at them.
- cmsmith 11y agoI recall a talk or possibly HN post I saw once, where they developed some software to warp photos like this to account for camera position and focal length.
- larrys 11y agoI actually don't like the sliders for that matter. I'd prefer side by side (especially because of the point that you are making).
- partisan 11y agoI completely agree. I find the sliders to be frustrating and detract from the experience of taking in the changes in their entirety. We aren't doing a pixel by pixel comparison so the UI shouldn't treat it that way.
