This image is used widely as a benchmark for image compression. For additional information about Lenna, see:

quite an important image, even my professor couldn't deny it and showed it in class

Thanks for the HR HR! Better color balance, too.

So what's so special about it? That website doesn't really explain anything other than a bunch of fat beared niggers used a piece of it as a cover for their fat nigger hardware. What's so fucking special about the picture?

You dont get it huh? Look at the resolution of the OP's pic, its the original! And now look at the second pic, its seems like higher quality without possibly having a higher quality because it is just a compression of the original one. The picture is an ideal.

No offense, but you're talking shit.
A very small cropped 512x512 version of the picture was used for testing compression algorithms and similar stuff.
The original was a normal picture captured on traditional photographic film, so no digital version can be considered as original, it's just that>>308667is a better scan.

Exactly.

Just another pointless picture to fap to once and file away forever.

Wasn't her headshot used in one of Adobe's early color/gamma correction programs.

is correct. the 2nd is just a better scan of the film

>>308725
the testing image is usually just the headshot. main feature is the mix of high and low frequency information. her face has smooth color transitions but at the same time the feathers and texture of the hat have many fine details. really though it's because geeks just wanted to stare at something pretty while working.

>>Alexander Sawchuk estimates that it was in June or July of 1973 when he, then an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University of Southern California Signal and Image Processing Institute (SIPI), along with a graduate student and the SIPI lab manager, was hurriedly searching the lab for a good image to scan for a colleague's conference paper. They got tired of their stock of usual test images, dull stuff dating back to television standards work in the early 1960s. They wanted something glossy to ensure good output dynamic range, and they wanted a human face. Just then, somebody happened to walk in with a recent issue of Playboy.

>>The engineers tore away the top third of the centerfold so they could wrap it around the drum of their Muirhead wirephoto scanner, which they had outfitted with analog-to-digital converters (one each for the red, green, and blue channels) and a Hewlett Packard 2100 minicomputer. The Muirhead had a fixed resolution of 100 lines per inch and the engineers wanted a 512 × 512 image, so they limited the scan to the top 5.12 inches of the picture, effectively cropping it at the subject's shoulders.

The original 512x512 scan, double-sized with no interpolation (2x2 square pixels to allow upload here) as loss-less PNG. -This- is the original data.

Thank you, sir.

Am I the only one who thinks that the "retro" babes look better than the modern, shopped ones?

Well, some of that, that is...
