Does it matter? Just different color perception. But they are still there which you denied. I am done spending my time on the useless argument. I understand that it takes two to tango, so now you are on your own.

It matters when you make things up and not tell the truth as you did above.

That's one of your more ridiculous posts you made because that is the same as if someone posted you were denying the bluish/green was there.
I acknowledged you see purple on your screen where I see bluish/green. Where you see purple Mike says he sees bluish .
Nowhere have I denied you see purple where I see bluish/green.
Earlier I said -

And yet you chimed back in with
which I subsequently showed is nonsense.
You are the one who tried to argue by chiming back in.
I am not arguing with you. I acknowledged you see purple in the image I posted. You are the one who seems to struggle with the fact not everyone sees purple where you see purple on your screen.

Guys,
Relax.
I am getting kinda blue from all this talk about purple.Here are two cultural recommendations for you both :

Let’s not forget the greatest jazz album ever recorded, “Kinda Blue” by Miles Davis and its most important track(s), “So What.”

I don't have an issue at all with the perspective distortion in the original image.
Perspective is a fact of life. When we are in the real world, our brain corrects for the perspective distortion that we see all the time and all around us.
We see a long rectangular building sideways and we KNOW that the nearest front wall of that building is not higher than the back wall that is so far away from us.
In the same way, I look at the original photo and I KNOW that that table is a normal rectangular surface that is not skewed. That knowledge is subconscious, but it is enough.In a sense, I've always found it odd that people feel the need to "correct" perspective in a photo.
And I've had professional experience with this, like when I photographed for an architectural digest book, and the publisher wanted me to "correct" my images, to make them appear like they were all shot from an imaginary spot roughly halfway up the height of the building, when in reality I had not had access to floors opposite those buildings, much less a crane to take me to the right height.
So I corrected some of these images and they looked awful, because perspective distortion correction always goes hand in hand with some stretching and compressing of the visual information, resulting in (for instance) a top floor of a large building that was much higher than it had been in reality. There were some photos that I just could not bring myself to torture like that.Having said that, you (Dan) did a good job here with the distortion correction.
Good, but (for me) unnecessary. -
Believe it or not, but I had considered Miles Davis and "Kind of Blue".
You can tell from my first sentence.But "Almost Blue" just jumped the queue when I was typing.
That the album contains "So What" is a clear extra reason why "Kind of Blue" is the better choice.
I am listening to it now. Bliss.(Costello isn't bad though, even if it is not his best album by far.)
-
Nice catch.
Good job on the processing. -
Ha, Ha.
I'm kinda sorry about misspelling Kind of Blue.
Miles wouldn't mind. He'd just blow So What.

Don’t be kinda sorry. It’s sorta right anyway.

I think everyone is missing the point I was making. You can make a copy of an original painting digitally but the original still can be distinguished and has a different value. An analogue original may be digitally copied but a digital print still isn't the same thing as an analogue print. Unfortunately, as I am now in central Australia, it will be some time before I have the bandwidth to discuss this, or any other matter, in detail.

Thank you Roel.

Thank you.
Yes, most types of editing/corrections are guided by personal taste and preferences.
They can be used to emphasise or reduce elements or effects in images for viewers to take in and/or consider.
People sometimes correct distortions so that the image displays as close as possible what they saw at the time.
