Sulfur Springs v4:two rejected native plume studies

Both drafts keep the original source intact and preserve every RGBA pixel outside their local masks and every row182 onward. An independent PNG decoder verifies the exact native donor-copy formula. v1 changes607 pixels but misses much of the pink core. v2 changes1,059 pixels and removes the core,yet its donor opacity creates a hollow/seam that fails the visual quality target. Neither draft is accepted or registered.

Native donor texture alone is insufficient when its volume does not match the target collar. Inspect the original neutral-collar opacity and luminance,choose uncontaminated donor material,and review the thermal-lit transition and complete native result before any publication. No generation,resizing or whole-scene recolor was used.
