Redirect to Lightbox?

[edit]

It seems that Light table needs to be redirected to Lightbox, but I am not certain they are exactly the same thing.--Commander Keane (talk) 07:03, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

no, not really. Some light tables may be like big light boxes, but others (like the one referred to in the article that brought me here) are big complicated affairs with stereoscopes attached to them. That kind is used for interpreting aerial photographs. You can see one of those at TARPS.Plumbob78 05:49, 11 January 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Plumbob78 (talkcontribs)

Proposed merge with Lightbox

[edit]

I don't see anything differentiating these enough to justify separate articles. Deunanknute (talk) 17:33, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree with Plumbob78 that: the complex light table he describes and displays can't be treated (and merged) as simple and generic lightboxes they are far beyond them an need a separated article as light table.--Mcapdevila (talk) 08:32, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
