[OpenGLAM] Yellow Milkmaid Syndrome is back - as unimpressed as ever

Fri May 29 11:45:40 UTC 2015

One exercise that would be interesting as a followup to each artwork is to
composite / blend all the imperfect samples into a single image, and see
how close that image is to the original / desired color space. There may be
some open source digital compositing tool out there that could automatethe
process, and it may end up showing the way to generating robust open source
resources with imperfect content as source.
