h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm preparing to update an old article in the Edited Guide. I plan to use some images from another website as illustrations, the reason for this is the article is about colour, and the images in question have some very specific colour calibrations I want to preserve. (They are altered spectrum ranges)

I've contacted the website, and made sure there are no copyright issues and there aren't.

So the last step is to ask how do I go about taking the images and getting them uploaded to h2g2?

Obviously this is a facility I don't want to abuse but I think these images are not just decorative but are integral in making the article as informative and importantly accurate as I can. It's one thing to talk about reduced frequencies of light, another to show what this means in practice.


Thanks.

Clive.

well if you e.mail them me I'll do anything that needs doing from our side obviously no majour alterations

do you still have my e.mail adress?

Possibly, but better give it to me just in case.

Thanks Anthea.

What are the size restrictions on Blobs BTW?

but there can be some ley way on width as far as i know
e.mail is anthea_muldoon@hotmail . com

thats pixels btw

Better e-mail the eds to be sure about the copyright issue.

email sent Anthea?

What am I asking them for Mal?

email sent Anthea.

Whether they'll take something that wasn't made by you, even if the copyright is ok.

I'm sure it shouldnt be a problem with the originatiors consent,
but i will ask on the form just to be sure

thanks clive i got the e.mail

nice pictures

I've just re-read the stuff on intellectual property and I think it should be fine.
The text will all be mine.

The author of colourblindness website the images are taken from has agreed to my using them, and I intend to credit the pictures and ink to the website in any case.

The images Anthea can confirm this are colour graphs, not of people or products or images from films for which there would be obvious copyright issues.

I think we are covered.

yeah i cant see there being any isues but i mailed the group just incase,
there basically spectrums
very pritty spectrums though

Thanks Anthea.

If you are interested:

This is the Guide Entry: A48088948

I spent this evening working out the structure. I'll start filling in the details as I go.

I've learnt a lot about my own colourblindness recently, and I've been itching to get it all into the Guide.

In particular it's the explanation of the iso-chromatic lines of confusion that inform the colourblind tests and which explain the phenomena of colourblindness that I want to get across.

Those graphs will I hope demonstrate why people with colour vision deficiencies see the way they do and why we experience the problems with colour codes, colour names, contrast, etc.

it looks quite good,

*envy*
I want to be able to write again
*pokes muse*

If you want to have a bit of fun - try taking these tests, they'll form part of my guide entry.

If you scroll down to comment 19 - you'll see I posted my results already.

Confirms what I already knew. I can't tell red, from black for toffee.

yeah i've checked but we wont be able to do the graphics because the Origanal creator is not a member of the site and hasnt agreed to the terms and conditions thereof
er or something like that

basically its a no-go
otherwise i would have loved to have helped you

That's what I was afraid of...

Can we do a new graphic using "their" colours?
