- Support EV is great. Why does the image darken itself in the articles? Am I the only one seeing that? --WingtipvorteX PTT ∅ 21:03, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- I think the thumbnail is not updated from the previous version; a "Commons" problem. JKadavoor Jee 05:48, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
- It looks ok now, at least in my browser. Brandmeistertalk 16:40, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
- I still see the dark one. Does this fixe itself after some time? --WingtipvorteX PTT ∅ 20:41, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
- Possible a caching issue somewhere between you and Wikipedia. I have the same issue too, but if I preview the image at any other size rather than 250px - I get the bright version. - n 00:04, 6 May 2013 (UTC)]

- Comment - Do we usually alter the levels in a Google Art Project image? I'm more interested in having something as close the original as possible, rather than something that pops out. Out of the three revisions, I prefer the 2013-04-30 version. But both are better than the latest 2013-05-01 "bright" version. - n 00:04, 6 May 2013 (UTC)]
- Tate Gallery's version is actually quite dull, perhaps due to age-related fading. I also see a slight bluish hue there and don't think this was the original state of the painting. Brandmeistertalk 11:56, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
- I do see what you mean regarding the bluish hue, but I think the current version makes the light background look overexposed. - n 13:43, 6 May 2013 (UTC)]
