- lucisferre 14y agoYeah I was thinking the same thing. Used that image myself for my undergrad thesis project on image compression. Didn't actually know who it was till a while later, it was just an image given to me to use. This was my favorite part of the story http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~chuck/lennapg/ http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~chuck/lennapg/
- abbasmehdi 14y agoFunny I used the same image for embedding a watermark some 8 years ago for a university assignment. Had no idea about its origins.

- mmcnickle 14y agoIt's amusing, but actually really useful. People in the field "know" what Lenna is supposed to look like, so can rapidly assess the qualities of a print/technique/filter.
