This image is in bad conditions. I tried with YCbCr (G'MIC plugin for GIMP) and magenta/red desaturation, but I couldn't remove vignetting and the colours became faded and innatural. Could yopu help me resore it? Thanks in advance.--Carnby (talk) 15:01, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s):
Comment: I think the effect is intentionally caused by graphic manipulation outside the camera, which makes it difficult / impossible to fix. I have tried to improve it, but it's still a poor image and haven't bothered to upload it. If you wanted to use it in the Toyota Hilux article, I suggest finding a better image. (Hohum@) 16:44, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done - Per the above. I've had a go at it, it's not perfect, never going to get it looking natural however it looks a little better now. Regards Fallschirmjäger✉17:25, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Better than the original, but it looks a bit unnatural. Is there any way you can make the hair on the right side a little smaller. Also, is the background color the best choice? --Երևանցիtalk17:49, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
nagualdesign, I appreciate your work. I think it came out more natural than the previous versions. I've already found a good replacement to use as lead pic. But again, thank you. --Երևանցիtalk20:36, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please remove the backgrounds on these 3 images by making them transparent and SVG vectorize all of them and upload them as seperate files. Jaqeli (talk) 21:49, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s):
Not sure it's what you were looking for: I made them transparent but I couldn't vectorize them since I'm not able to do it.--Carnby (talk) 14:21, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks anyway. Can you please if you can give the Coat of Arms of Kingdom of Kakheti same wave kind of effect down there instead of an oval form. Jaqeli (talk) 14:38, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Just a moment: the watermark says the image is copyrighted. While the image itself cannot be copyrighted, that particular reproduction can be copyrighted, and therefore should be deleted from Commons. Please ask Village pump/Copyright before any request.--Carnby (talk) 19:44, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, you are aware of {{PD-Art}}? Go have a read of that; you're telling people misinformation about policy. You literally cannot claim copyright on a 2-dimensional image's reproduction in the U.S., and, for good or ill, Wikipedia has extended that to all files. Adam Cuerden(talk)03:06, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Anyway, that said, that watermark covers some complicated detail in the clothing - I wouldn't want to try to restore that much of the picture, but it's the principle that matters. Also, what's with the fad on here for taking a nice, rectangular historical image that contains a little text and turning it into an oval crop that no longer looks like an image from the period it's from? Adam Cuerden(talk)03:14, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Adam Cuerden: I admit I'm not sure about policies regarding non copyrightable images watermarked with a clear copyright symbol; I will ask Village pump/Copyright; If they say it's all right I will crop the image and send apologies to Jaqeli for my mistake.--Carnby (talk) 07:59, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Adam Cuerden: As far as the crop asked here is concerned, I think the user wants a set of historical images with a similar sepia tone and without text, for the sake of homogeneity/coherence. It's reasonable, provided the original images are not overwritten.--Carnby (talk) 13:30, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Now we're closer, hate to nitpick, but in losing the purple the fine detail was lost, like the Chinese firecrackers. Is there a softer way to do it and not lose the details?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 01
@Ham, you may wish to choose which version you prefer, rather than letting Centpacrr decide for you. I provided my own edit as I thought the other one's a funny colour, and it has glowing edges if you look closely. nagualdesign (talk) 19:32, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have reworked from the original using reference images, taking into account that the colour of the statues has changed over age - from metallic to the current weathered / orange look. (Hohum@) 16:59, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the colour was any better TBH but the luminosity looks good, so I uploaded another edit that retains the original colour. See what you think. Regards, nagualdesign (talk) 19:40, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes but please look closely the directions of the arrows. For example the გ letter which is third in the row has a mistake as it should go up and not down. But as the arrows themselves they are perfect. And if you can also please curve those on the 4th letter on the lower part more curved if possible. Thanks a lot in advance. Jaqeli (talk) 11:44, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. But გ and ჰ arrows are wrong. On გ (3rd letter) first arrow should go up and not down and on ჰ which is last letter it is written totally wrong. It should have an arrow like the letter პ (15th letter) has. Jaqeli (talk) 10:56, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Now it's perfect. Could you please if you can curve the arrow of letter რ (17th letter)? Curving the arrow down-to-right would be better. Jaqeli (talk) 11:34, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's a weird arrow. Make it like the letter თ (8th letter) has and cut a length of the arrow as it is very big. And if you can make the first arrow on the letter ყ (24th letter) just like the second arrow of the letter ზ (7th letter) has. Jaqeli (talk) 13:12, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect. Just please move that arrow on ყ closer to the letter itself. And also if you can please make a curved arrow with right-to-down with curve on the letter წ. (29th letter.) Jaqeli (talk) 09:17, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a reason as to why this has been left? I'm finding it curious that certain, regular uploader's to this workshop get responded to within a few hours or so, yet new comers are seemingly ignored. Cassianto (talk) 00:26, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Cleanup the bottom area of the photo - something doesn't look right from my (horrible) watermark removal. Will upload the watermarked image to the image history. Thanks. -- – Connormah (talk) 03:06, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please crop out the image of King Luarsab II (left) without damaging his clothing in the image and upload it as seperate file. Jaqeli (talk) 12:27, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please remove the text from the image around David's face and also remove the clothing, hands etc. from the past crop outs around him. Jaqeli (talk) 11:43, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like blue. I think darker the better so maybe you could make it grey+black darker? Thanks for the arrows :) waiting for it :) Jaqeli (talk) 06:59, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The cyst (the dark spot between the nerve and the impacted tooth) isn't obvious and needs an arrow of some sort added to it. There is also bit's of the original image I captured in the .gif at the bottom of the screen that need to be removed. Ian Furst (talk) 02:05, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s):
How's that? Perhaps it would be better to find looping frames. And I missed the mouse pointer on a few of the frames. I may give it another go yet. Feel free to make suggestions in the meantime. nagualdesign (talk) 05:03, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That looks a lot better - thank you. Couple of things, 1) Could we change the red star to a green arrow like in this picture just off center of the cyst, I'm trying to standardize the markers throughout all xrays/photos in the project 2) can we slow the rotation down and shorten (slightly) the "hold" time when it's stopped? 3) It seems more "choppy" than previously, but I'm not sure if that's just an optical illusion. Looked again at thumb size and looks perfect. Thank you for taking the work on. 10:56, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
Okay, I've redone it with a green arrow, remembering to remove the mouse pointer. It now runs at a constant 2fps (each frame lasts 0.5 seconds, some frames are repeated). I can make any frame last as long as you wish, so as to lengthen the pauses or quicken the whole thing. Any changes are easy at this point, so feel free to make suggestions. Regards, nagualdesign (talk) 19:47, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
...I've also changed several other images on that page, so that they all show green arrows, or green and red arrows. And I also altered the image captions/file page descriptions to reflect the changes. Feel free to revert all those edits. nagualdesign (talk) 20:33, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It looks great. And thank you very much for changing the arrows around on the page. In surgical shots, nothing is bright green or blue so we use those colours. On the xray, I think red looks pretty so I use it. Very scientific eh? Thanks again. Ian Furst (talk) 20:55, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Makes Stoke-on-Trent look like Las Vegas! I uploaded two versions, with and without the white spacing. I prefer with. Revert if you disagree. nagualdesign (talk) 01:27, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! It looks great. We discussed the article at a recent TED meeting in the city YMCA sky roof. So thought I should make a start on something everyone agreed on - the main image was not that good.Rainthe 102:22, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Glad you're happy. If you find any other suitable images (perhaps something a bit more exciting) we could swap them around later. I'll mark this as resolved. nagualdesign (talk) 02:33, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. I will ask around because there are better places without pictures here. The City Sentral (outdated article) project needs pictures too - it is transforming our city center like mad.Rainthe 103:21, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Just some minor touch ups. Please get rid of the blots you see. The white part outside of the portait needs some cleaning. A line to the left of his left cheek needs to get rid of. That is all. Thanks in advance. Étienne Dolet (talk) 20:11, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, but you cut it a little too close to the engine's buffer beam when you leveled the picture. It looks like a picture taken of a framed photograph (hence the flash) and the whole picture is somewhat distorted - look at the rear end. Rather leave it untrimmed, and not too dark - it shows up rather black on my laptop. -- André Kritzinger (talk) 23:57, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
These pics are a set taken by the same author; I think they definitely need a light adjustment, especially the second one (I tried with GIMP, but didn't achieve anything good, note excessive lighting in the upper part of the second pic)--Carnby (talk) 09:25, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This needs to be touched up a bit. The white around the portrait needs to be a solid white. Karekin Khajag himself can be a little darker and as far as I can see, many touch-ups are needed in the background. Basically, any general improvements will do. I have another version of this photograph ([1]) if that is more helpful for you guys. The circle on these alternative file is cut off from the right side. If you are to use this alternative file, please fix that as well. Centpacrr is good at these, I really enjoyed the Sarkis Minassian portrait. You were right on the dot with that one. I'll be happy if you're willing to take this task up as well. Thanks in advance. Étienne Dolet (talk) 04:32, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Details of your request go here... Please upload a version of the image cropped to show just Teddy Kollek. Of the three men in the middle wearing suits, he's the leftmost, and on the left of the two holding glass cups. -- 149.160.175.36 (talk) 17:46, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
