I can see the blue and the white but I cannot see black. Even the darkest images I'm still seeing a gold tint. Can anyone help me out?

- chrischen 12y agoSame thing with me. I have some friends who converted after a few hours though.
- slavik81 12y agoSure. If you look towards the darker parts of the gold, like towards the bottom of the dress, it would be pretty easy to presume that the lightness and gold tinge is due to the lighting / overexposure washing out the image.
- jacobolus 12y agoThe “gold tint” is due to the camera white balance. Does it still look gold if we adjust it so that the background white + black dress is neutral? http://i.imgur.com/jtjECtR.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jtjECtR.jpg
- m_t 12y agoI still see gold yes :|
- gormo2 12y agoI still see gold tint to that image, and it is far from black, which I verified by opening the color in photoshop. And I'm confused about your point about the camera white balance. It doesn't matter what is causing the "gold tint" only that I am seeing it and others vehemently claim they see no gold tint. The point is there is a perception difference that is not being accounted for. I mean, I understand how the shoddy white balance makes what in reality is black fabric shift gold/orange in a photo, but objectively in the original photograph the bands of fabric are not black or gray but a muddy gold color, so I do not understand how anyone sees it as black.
- InclinedPlane 12y agoTry making the image smaller and squinting at it. Once your brain switches to perceiving the black correctly then the highlights just look like highlights (instead of like gold).
