These two images are scans of the same stereogram, which depicts Lexington, Massachusetts's high school in 1875. Unfortunately, both images have scratches and markings on them that are particularly noticeable when viewing in 3D.

Request

Please crop to square size, remove the two lower feet of the wooden stand and the shadow at the bottom. There might also be some tint of the glass that is over the dish for protection. The background colour and texture can be kept. Basically it should appear like this File:Floral Plate Nabeshima.JPG. Second image has a very yellow-beige tint, please remove. Image can also be a square, which means you would have to add some space at the top and bottom. Thank you. -- Gryffindor (talk) 08:01, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible to adjust the perspective on this to make the building look a bit more "square on"? (A little bit of retained "looking up" perspective would be OK.

 Done Centpacrr (talk) 21:13, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much. However, the colours seem to have changed. The original colours were rich and contrasty; now the picture looks more washed out. I wonder why that would have happened? Why would adjusting the perspective change the colours? Mypix (talk) 17:51, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Increased color saturation; agma. Centpacrr (talk) 20:48, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what you mean by "agma", but anyway, whatever has happened, sorry, I don't like the new colours. Is it possible to do the perspective adjustment without changing the colours? If not, I think I'll just stick with the original, in which case sorry for wasting your time. Mypix (talk) 01:35, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Offnfopt: I'm so sorry for being unclear, can you remove the oval? Thanks!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 01:42, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't usually like to do these intricate type of cutout because I'm usually not happy with the end result. When you cut objects out in pictures you usually have a chance to feather the edges when you're integrating the picture into a new background, but when you are cutting a object out and not integrating it into a new background you don't get a chance to merge it with with the new setting, so the edges can look a bit sharp and unpleasant. I went ahead and did it anyway though, feel free to revert the edit. Offnfopt^(talk) 02:57, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Very strong yellow or rose tint of the light, would it be possible to remove it in 1 and 2? In 3, please clean up background (white is fine), but try to leave shadow of vessel on the background on the right side so it doesn't look artificial. Please also increase overall space between vessels to edges of picture, it's cropped a little too much. -- Gryffindor (talk) 09:55, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

• For [1], that's tricky without a point of reference. Is File:WLA haa Dish Mukozuke attributed to Ogata Kenzan retouch.jpg in the right direction? -- Begoon 10:22, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at his other ceramic works in the Commons or on the net, his glazes tend to be white or off-white. I would still try to remove some more pinkish tint. Gryffindor (talk) 10:30, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, tell me how it is now - that's adjusting object and background independently. I also extended the background. -- Begoon 13:43, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1 and 3 look good, thank you. Gryffindor (talk) 20:06, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• With [2], again I need a pointer. I've taken the yellow cast out of the background, but not done much at all to the pot yet, apart from brighten its midtones, because I don't know how it should look. This one is supposed to be yellow, isn't it? A visual indication of what to aim at would be ideal. It's masked now in my working file, so I can adjust the object independently. -- Begoon 14:34, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Something is off, it's too grey or dark. It should look colourwise something like these [5], [6], I don't know if that helps. Gryffindor (talk) 20:05, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did some colour adjustment to the pot. Is that closer, or did I go too far? -- Begoon 01:35, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I like it, much better. The dark background part at the top is a bit unfortunate, because the lid almost blends in with it when seen as a thumb. Is there anything that can be done with the background? Sorry for the trouble. Gryffindor (talk) 23:25, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I recreated the top of the background and lightened the rest of it. That should be better. -- Begoon 04:14, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I found the reference file after a search, I am sorry about not finding it earlier [7]. I will do better research ahead in the next submission in order to spare you time and effort. The background can also be the same type if possible? Gryffindor (talk) 20:58, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK - but in this case I reversed the gradient for the background because we don't want to darken the lid area any more. -- Begoon 01:24, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is great, thank you very much. Gryffindor (talk) 12:12, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

May I add file 4, it has the same issue with this yellow tint. See [8] as reference file. Thank you very much. Gryffindor (talk) 20:12, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to adjust the bowls toward that example. Let me know what you think. -- Begoon 09:12, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I like it, maybe just a little bit brighter overall? The lighting in general seems a bit dark. Gryffindor (talk) 23:23, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I put a bit more brightness in the midtones, but you're in danger of washing out the highlights if you go much further - the original is not sparkling quality... -- Begoon 02:30, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, thank you. Gryffindor (talk) 20:44, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

I made an attempt to do something which might at least look better in the article, but without a better original I'm afraid what I could do from that image isn't very good. Someone else may do better. I couldn't find a better image of this lady, just her sister, Elmina, which doesn't help much. -- Begoon 04:28, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for trying Begoon. I couldn't find another one of Alda either. (Well there is a passport photo but it isn't able to be loaded to commons, I don't think.) I'm going to do an article on Elmina too, so if you can make a decent photo of Elmina that'd be great. Appreciate the effort. SusunW (talk) 05:07, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SusunW: I uploaded two revisions to the retouched file, check the files revision history and revert to the one you think would work best for the article. Offnfopt^(talk) 05:32, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Offnfopt, I think I like the on that is least busy [10] but I don't know how to get to the "use this file" link to see if at article size that I still think that. I am not very technically inclined. How do I try it? And thanks, truly appreciate it! SusunW (talk) 06:10, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You'll have to click the revert link first before you can try it out. If you change your mind you can just revert the image again to a different revision. Offnfopt^(talk) 06:13, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SusunW: If you don't see the revert link, you'll need to click the link near the top right where it says "View on Commons" then you should see the revert links near the revision history.Offnfopt^(talk) 06:58, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Might the passport picture be pd-us-gov, or something similar? Or could we ask the copyright holder to release it? That's if it's any good, of course, I haven't seen it. -- Begoon 06:30, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Begoon thought about that but passports, while issued by the federal government, use photos the citizen provides. Thus, I have no idea who took it. I have no idea who might hold the rights to her estate. She never married, her sister who was her business partner never marred either, and as far as I can find, they had no offspring. Thanks Offnfopt It worked! I am so not technical, but your explanation made it simple. SusunW (talk) 13:56, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I re-did the touch-up from scratch, using Fourier transform to remove the wave patterns. I think it's a significant improvement, so I uploaded it on top of the existing ones. I hope that's okay. I also uploaded a larger version, in case anyone thinks the crop could be better. —Quibik (talk) 18:08, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Top job as always, Quibik. Regards, nagualdesign 18:16, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

@Czar: Doesn't copyright law have an exception for copyrighted material that appears incidentally in a limited way in an image? Otherwise it would be nearly impossible to publish a photo of a city street. Zero^talk 03:14, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

De minimis would apply if it truly were incidental, but since the focus of this image is on the storefront (of which this is a significant part) and since we are able to create a freer alternative, we should. If the picture is of the city street and the copyrighted work is not a focus, and especially if the publication uses the image as fair use within a story, the publisher would be fine. For our case, we're not using these images under fair use but are opting for free licenses. That's my understanding. czar 04:32, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Czar: I'm not sure what kind of solution you were hoping for, I went ahead and blurred the windows to obscure the copyrighted content. If that isn't acceptable then I would suggest to revert the changes and convert the image to a non-free rationale. Offnfopt^(talk) 20:45, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jun ware, Oribe ware

Request

Image 1 is overcropped again, please increase distance so it ends up looking somewhat like this one [11]. Same applies for image 2, and could the glass be removed? Image 3 could the plastic string and its shadow be removed? Image 4 has this short dark line in the background right behind the box's right side, please remove. Image 5 has some rectangular reflection of some other piece in the glass in the background, also please remove. -- Gryffindor (talk) 13:45, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

I don't agree re the overcropping on 1 or 2. If you must do work on these, please DON'T over-write the original file, nor replace the images at Jun ware. Johnbod (talk) 14:55, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Johnbod, Commons already has a policy in place regarding overwriting existing files. No one here has gone against any policies so please don't come here using caps telling others what they should and shouldn't do, when no actions have taken place to this point. If someone does go against policy you can refer them to the policy and revert the changes. As far as changing out the images in the article, that is a discussion that needs to happen between the editors of that article. Perhaps you and Gryffindor should discuss this among the editors of Jun ware and return when there is a consensus. Offnfopt^(talk) 16:17, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, to be fair, if you feel the need to "shout", it's probably nicer to say "please DON'T" than just plain "DON'T", so there's that, I suppose...
Anyway, here's a version of [1] with slightly more border on a different background. Nobody has to like it, hate it, use it, ignore it, or even discuss it. I'm not even sure I like it much myself, but there it is...

• [3], [4] and [5] are also done, files linked above. -- Begoon 13:06, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Begoon. In 1 the shadow of the bowl at the foot is unfortunately gone from the original image, is there any way to restore it? And the space between the bowl and the edges could still be larger. I will wait for 2. 3, 4 and 5 look great. Gryffindor (talk) 09:35, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I tried a new version of [1]. The problem is I can't get a satisfactory result from trying to create an extended background from the original to look seamless, which means I'm using a new background, and the shadow doesn't transplant. With [2], I'm not sure what to do - if you lose the glass, you lose the reflection, so similar problems arise. The background on [2] is pretty awful on the left, so replacing it is maybe not a bad thing, but then it'll need some shadow/reflection/depth at the bottom. I'll have a look tomorrow. -- Begoon 13:38, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think it looks better now. In 2 feel free to change the background in that case, if it makes it easier. Gryffindor (talk) 18:37, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok - I've had a go at [2]. I replaced the background, but I couldn't add as much at the bottom as the other sides, because of the reflection. If you don't have the reflection the pot looks like it's floating in mid air, and I can't cheat any more than I did with the reflection at the bottom without it looking stupid. I'm not thrilled with this result really, but I don't think I can do much better, sorry. On [1] I did manage to replicate the shadow a bit better from the original. -- Begoon 16:09, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is great work, thank you Begoon for your help. Gryffindor (talk) 09:41, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A) A white background. B) If possible I would like a second image uploaded with the three products in the image organised and straightened. I don't know if it is better to just have a white background or also have the products organised and so on. QuackGuru (talk) 05:16, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

• [A] White background, linked above.
• [B] You can't really do a good job of that, perspective in the original doesn't permit. See this image - that's just the elements rearranged. Looks pretty silly.
• You could, however, have separate images of each "thing" - imagine that demo image cropped in three....-- Begoon 09:34, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• I guess, if you wanted them in one image, you could adjust relative size and have something like this - that's only rough, I'd need to fix up sizes, alignment, clean up the quick retouch where they overlapped - my corner is pointy and should be round, etc... It's already pretty low resolution, though. -- Begoon 14:21, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • For [A] the image matches the other images with a white background. For [B] I want the three products from left to right. I can test it out in my sandbox to compare which image works better. The resolution seems fine. QuackGuru (talk) 16:18, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File:Ecig USB charger (retouched-2).jpg - if you want individual, single images too, say what orientation you want for the items. -- Begoon 16:50, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't need individual, single images. For image [B] I want the e-cig first. It is currently last. I want both chargers sideways. I want the image to be rectangle rather than square to match the other images I am using that are rectangle. QuackGuru (talk) 17:07, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I request a new image under a different file name be uploaded with a white background like this previous version. The shadows are okay but the background is no longer white. QuackGuru (talk) 03:03, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nagualdesign did a great job of contrast-masking the original shadows, it's excellent. The reason I didn't attempt that and just put some basic photoshop drop shadows in was because you said you wanted a white background to match your other pics. I've reverted the first pic for you, and uploaded a new one with the more realistic shadows, hope that's ok. I personally think Nagualdesign's version looks better in the ecig article as it stands now, so I fixed that filename up, and the one in your sandbox. What images you use in the article ultimately is up to the editors, but building a new sandbox version as you are seems a good way to consider alternatives. -- Begoon 04:09, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

...Okay, I've redone File:Ecig USB charger (retouched-3).jpg to make more of the background pure white, and improved the masking. FWIW I think that retaining the original composition of the image conveys some useful three-dimensional information about the objects. If you cut the images out and line them up separately the forced perspective is a little jarring and you can easily lose sense of the simple fact that that thing plugs into the other thing right there. Just my two cents, you understand. nagualdesign 00:32, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That looks great - and I agree with you about rearranging the objects - it looks unnatural, hence my first comments at [B] above - "you can't really do a good job of that...perspective in the original doesn't permit...it looks silly...". I understand what QG is trying to do, to an extent, he has an idea for his ideal image - but it really would be better to find, or take, a photograph with the items in the configuration you desire. Personally, I think the image looks just fine, and nothing needs rearranging, but beauty and functionality are in the eye of the beholder. -- Begoon 02:31, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - I hope the bright red thing was a blemish, I spotted it out at the same time. For the bright white "flash" in the centre the only thing would be to try and clone the other brickwork and even out the levels in the area, but that's up to you if you think that makes it "non-authentic". I can't guarantee a good result if I try. -- Begoon 14:06, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The bright thing is a porch light, not something problematic. I can't see any red blemishes on the door (when looking both at the original upload and the second reupload, the two look the same, colorwise), but maybe that's just me. No complaints, at any rate. Thanks for the help! Nyttend (talk) 17:56, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Heh - I did wonder if it was a light, but it washes out the whole area, so couldn't tell for sure. There were two bright red marks, one on the door frame, one way over to the right, near ground level on the bit of building that's set back, but if you don't miss them, all is good... -- Begoon 18:21, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
