| There are many old minifig pics in the catalog. Made with 2010 digital cameras
or so.
So I wonder: does it make sense to update those old - and often not so very clear
- pictures with newer ones?
I understand that the first person who submits the picture receives the credit
for the picture, so this might be a sensitive area.
Today I scanned
with my Instabrick. With very minor modifications the result is the attached
picture.
Personally I think this is a better picture than the one currently in the catalog.
What do you think?

How true is the color of the tie in your photo?
|
It's gold, and gold reflects a lot of light.

Hi Russell, I'm pleasantly surprised by a quick reply from you!
The color of the tie in the standard BL catalog picture with 60x80 pixels is
indeed more pearl gold then the yellow in my example picture.
But my question s not about every true color in any given picture.
(Every photographer thinks his/her picture is the best...) I understand.
However it comes down to this: does the picture give a good representation of
the minifig? The original picture for this minifig is at maximum 181 x 271 pixels.
So when you click on the + sign next to the 60x80 pixel picture what you get
is 181x271. I downsized the picture in my previous post to exactly the same height
271 pixels.
When I use the max BL standard of 800x600 pixels you get this.
Now you can see the tie is actually not the same color as the yellow in the hands.
