Oh well, no replies.

Just look at my profile. You'll see the numbers very clearly there.

I've played Uno (the card game) w/ color blind people before. It makes it more intersting. Actually, I think Uno is mostly primary colors, so they were pretty recognizable.

You need to put "[url]" before and "[/url]" after the url (no spaces) to make it work or hit the button above the typin' box that says INSERT HYPERLINK when you put your curser on it!

Hope this helps!

It is pink like the lipstick...

I am too, which can explain why I prefer dealing with duotones. I don't see apples or red flowers in a tree unless somebody points them out for me. I have dressed in pink shirts for years thinking they were white.

in the test i see 20 ad 57 and nothing on the right.

I use the desaturate tool in photoshop to deal with reds and greens.

I'm colorblind. I don't think it affects me that much. The only real obvious thing that is affected is that I can't match clothes to save my life (which could also be a side-effect of being a straight male). I've fixed that problem though... I wear jeans or black pants and everything fits. I suffer from the same type of color problems as GeneralE.... greens and browns are often indistinguishable as well as blues and purples. If they are very very obvious I can tell, but once they start looking sort of close, I'm lost. This also gives me fits when trying to match mats to pictures.

Wow! Your photographs are simply superb. I'd never imagined that you'd have a problem visually.

It's not always a problem, just different.
It occurs to me that we have almost precisely the opposite situation with auditory sensation -- someone with perfect pitch is the rarity, and "defective" hearing is the norm ....

Seeing what a colorblind person who see.


Now I'm very, very curious. I checked a couple of my pictures (I use a LOT of red and orange in many of my picts) through this colorblind simulation page, and they look positively HORRIBLE!!!!

Is is actually possible that some of you might see like that?
I am shocked!

For example, a pictures by jjbeguin, "new shoes / no more wine", the red polka dot shoes and the pink napkin - how could someone colourblind make such a beautiful, colourful picture without seeing it? How do you compensate?

Can colourblindness be treated in some way?

I can honestly say I always thought this napkin was white (and still do).

We have always seen the world this way and are aculturated to what looks beautifull chromatically, no big deal.

If there was a simulation to make us see the way we should, i'm sure it would look pretty terrible to us as well

Forget Uno--it's impossible to play! The yellow is orange and the orange is orange, too (as I recall). It's odd because I'll mention that the yellow looks orange, and everyone derides me, but when I press them, they'll finally say, "well it does have SOME orange in it" and then I'll press them about the orange and they'll say "well it does have SOME yellow in it" and then they understand when I think both colors are yellow-orange! Subtleties are lost on us!

I grew up not knowing what colors were, just because everyone figured I couldn't see them. I was an adult before I learned what chartreuse and taupe and other weird colors were (Chartreuse is easy to see, taupe is not).

But please don't point to things and ask "What color is this? and this? and this? and this? and this . . ." It's like asking a deaf person "Can you hear me now? NOW? NOW!!!? NOW!!!!!!!?"

KNowing that JJ and Bob and Ron and others are colorblind empowers me! Wow!

Ohhhh, my favorite picture! I'm so glad he doesn't know the napkin is pink!

Wow, I'm sorry. I never realized that colourblindness was like that. I have a lot of experience with a severe hearing loss person in the family, and I know how frustrating it is, for him, and for those around him.

Related to that, I wonder if the way I see your pictures, David, or pictures of others with colourblindness, is "coloured" by that difference in perception, and that sometimes to me the colours used by others look "odd". I know it's happened to me looking at some of jjbeguin's pictures - I think, "This is beautiful, but the colours are a bit strange, I would not use them that way." I figured it was just difference in taste (and it probably is for the most part).

Oh well.

That's undoubtedly true, Ursula, though I have a wife who sometimes looks at my shots and says "WAY to much red, David!"

I do find that in regular life, I can play Uno if it is very bright and I can see the colors clearly. But in photography, many photographs hailed as having "great colors!" to me seem washed out. So I tend to go for darker, saturated colors with rich tones and shadows--like your "mer Bleu Bog" (and many of your other color photos). I often wonder if my own photos are seen as "cartoonish" to some people. I thought that this shot of mine was a slight bit cartoony with its color, I trusted the tones more than the colors, and got approval from my wife, so it was okay.
