Idi Amin

 * Reason:Edmund S. Valtman was a Pulitzer Prize winning political cartoonist who donated a portion of his work to the public domain. This example is a caricature of Idi Amin, Ugandan military dictator and the president of Uganda from 1971 to 1979.  Restored version of File:Idi Amin caricature.jpg.  Scanned from original artist's sketch; pencil lines made by the artist before inking have been retained (most visible at chin and shoulders).

 * Support but I feel the white balance is a little blue. Anyone else, or would that be my laptop? —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 11:46, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * On my system the white balance appears different between Photoshop, Commons, and en:wiki for this image. Have had all three windows open at the same time side by side, and can't explain the discrepancy.  That's why I tweaked and reuploaded so many times.  Durova Charge! 19:11, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * We use a pale blue background for non-mainspace pages, in Photoshop it's surrounded by grey and I think Commons is white. The perception of color is dependent on the surrounding colors. MER-C 02:30, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Feel free to try another edit if you can achieve a better balance. The uncompressed TIFF file is linked from the image hosting page.  Durova Charge! 17:14, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
