Image:USS_Port_Royal_CG-73.jpg

 * I don't know exactly where to put this, I hope it is o.k. to bring it up here. The image Image:USS_Port_Royal_CG-73.jpg is listed on the "featured pictures" list and to be honest I don't quite agree with that because it contains a lot of noise. The image itself was never formally nominated--it was added in May 2003 when the nomination process for images did not exist. I tried removing some of the noise with a brilliant tool I found a couple of days ago (if you don't know it already you really should have a look at this--it's amazing). To make a long story short: I don't want to replace a featured picture, therefore I would like to have a go from you first. A comparison of both images can be found on User:Marco_Krohn/USS_Port_Royal_CG-73 the first one being the current one, the second one my suggestion. -- mkrohn 23:21, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC) -- update: I just replace the image. -- mkrohn 10:18, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * it's look way better !!! i second the replacement --Chmouel Boudjnah 00:26, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Thirded. I downloaded the tool you pointed to but couldn't install it, it didn't find some .dll file?  I'll have to wait until the computer techie comes home I guess.  fabiform | talk 00:43, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Oh, and if there are featured photos which didn't go through due process, perhaps we should vote on them all like they're doing at the moment on featured articles. fabiform | talk 00:43, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * I use the linux version and this one works very good though the image inpainting is limited to mono(!) images :-( -- mkrohn 10:18, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * A bit big, but wonderful anyway! DanKeshet 19:51, Feb 4, 2004 (UTC)
 * Exactly what I thought. Nice one. Kokiri
 * Big images can always be thumbnailed where appropriate. This sort of thing looks easy - but it certainly ain't! Good one. Tannin 22:49, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Moved. Tannin 18:42, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
