=Viewing steganographic image in Photoshop= You said that the cat image can be revealed with the Apply Image option in Photoshop, but it doesn't seem to have an AND function. (I'm using Adobe Photoshop 7.0.) Could you tell me how you do this? Thanks. Jobarts-Talk 03:11, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh dear! I confused Apply Image with Filtering! PhotoShop doesn't natively support logical operations. Anyways after hours of research here's how to do it: (Click to enlarge)  --Ukdragon37 18:14, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Get a copy of Adobe's free Filter Factory plugin for PhotoShop. It can be found on all PhotoShop CDs above 3.0. However, if you don't have a CD, you can email me and request for the plugin (the email should preferrably be encrypted by my Public Key, as I'm a security freak ;) lol).
 * 2) Open the original image of the steganography.
 * 3) Go to Filters > Synthetic > Filter Factory....
 * 4) Set the Filter Factory as the image below then ok:
 * 5) The picture should now looks like it's all black.
 * 6) Then Auto-Contrast it in Image > Adjustments (I think). Voila!

Thanks! This is neat stuff (if not a bit scary). After following your instructions and doing a bit of experimenting, I was able to hide images, too. :^) I also found out that if you use "(x & 3) * 64" (replacing "x" with r, g, and b), then you can leave out the auto-contrast step.

To hide messages, apply the filter "x & 252" to the cover image, and apply "x / 64" to the image to be hidden. Then use Apply Image (or Calculations) to combine them. Jobarts-Talk 04:42, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

You're more than welcome to remove an NPOV sentence yourself, you know. That was really the only change needed from that standpoint (though I threw in some edits elsewhere for style purposes). &mdash; Lomn | Talk / RfC 21:25, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

babel style language boxes
I like the babel style programming language boxes. I'm going to put some on my user page [and my levels are close to yours] --tonsofpcs (Talk) 03:04, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Images on your signature
Hi Ukdragon37, would you possibly mind removing the two logo images on your signature? Just really becuase it slows the servers. Thanks!  K ilo-Lima|(talk) 19:32, 20 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Please please please, remove the 2 images, and all the excessive html code from your signature. Your signature takes up almost SEVEN LINES! This makes it very hard to scan through wiki-code looking for talk threads.
 * Also, the color can make some people less respectful of your written opinion (such bold colours carry connotations of rebellious-individualism, or overall youthfulness, or of garnering attention), and so hampers your best intentions. Please and thank you :) -Quiddity 19:13, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Ok I have now recitified this. However, I have now added my name in chinese on each side of the signature. According to the Guidlines I am allowed to do this if I also include Latin script, which I have. -- 龙★Ukdragon37★翔talk 19:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Aom.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Aom.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:50, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Hip-Hop artist
He released a single with Snoop Dogg earlier in the year so why, Ukdragon37, did you report abuse and get me banned from editing Wikipedia after I noted that he was a hip-hop artist. Or is this article so precious to you that only you may edit it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.101.86 (talk) 20:57, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Junk fax.gif
Thanks for uploading File:Junk fax.gif. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 22:29, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
