The Quill's Remastered Uploads

<< < (3/4) > >>

narfstar:
Henry does recoloring. I like the idea of colorized being available. Perhaps some of the old Centaurs that are partially black and white.

Yoc:
Narf, perhaps these would be better suited on GAC?
Frankly I'm not comfortable with the idea really.  Cleaning up a scan, perhaps removing mold or merging fiche into missing chunks from a paper page - sure I'm fine with that.  But adding colour where there was none makes me very uneasy.

Essentially the site is here to preserve and share scans of the books.  Some may argue, and have, about the Amount of massaging a scan should get from none to pristine white page whitening - but we've never talked about 'remastering' comics and adding content that never existed before.
As much as I appreciate the work that Quill has done on these I wonder if DCM is really the place for sharing them?  It's almost something I'd expect on www.deviantart.com for example.

The staff are talking about this topic and haven't decided on what to do.  I honestly would rather DCM not be known for their creative sharing and more for saving all but forgotten and usually expensive pieces of comic book history.

It's a sticky question I'm not sure how to handle.   :(

If it is causing a problem please don't upload to your site, and any future submissions will only be to repair books and not to re-invent. :)

Yoc:
Hi Q,
I sure don't want to step on your artistic hopes but it is a bit of a conundrum for us.
I'm waiting to hear back from Narfstar who is an admin on the GAC site.

But yes, I think we're more comfortable with you sticking to repairs for sharing on DCM and I appreciate your understanding on the matter.

No worries.

I can assure you the next effort will be much less of a problem for you and will appeal to quite a few.

Happy new year, fella
