Thanks. :-) Note that this is not a study about color variations. It's four screenshots with city1.rgb textures from *cvs* mounted together. The first slices are revisions 1.2 to 1.4. The first was almost right, just a tad too blue. Note the violet area next to the shrub area. I shouldn't have criticized that version 1, because from there it went downhill, and now we are at 3. Well, I'm not, but 0.9.10 and HEAD is. :-} > I agree that 4.) is the most appropriate for the region _we_ live in, True for the shrub texture, but it can well look as dry in Europe, too. It's not a question of continent, but of climate. And I didn't say it *should* be as green as in 4 ... > > The greener > > one seems like a better compromise.

I have no clue if the landuse sources distinguish dry shrub and green shrub. If they do, then my complaint is invalid, of course. But this wasn't the reason why I made the comparison. It was rather the history of city[123].rgb, and this is even less a question of continent. The required color profile is already defined by the texture *contents*. This type of city doesn't go well with colors in 1, 2, and 3, no matter where the city is located. (Maybe 4 is still a bit too blue, but taking some blue away made it quickly uglier again.) I could, of course, stop whining and just commit my versions. But this would possibly interfere with Rob's sources (he may have created them from higher res versions, in which it would better to adjust those). And then, I saw a few negative spikes in the color profile of my versions, and thought that this could be done cleaner. m. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
