Object removal
Article(s): Gerry Sandusky Request: If possible, please remove the object at the bottom-left of the photo that's obscuring Sandusky's jacket. Thanks! Delaywaves &bull;&#32; talk  20:00, 16 September 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

I gave the photo a better (tighter) crop which also has the effect of largely eliminating the offending object. – JBarta (talk) 08:33, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

✅ - There was still some fuzziness in lower-left corner left after the crop, so I cloned it out. Marekich (talk) 12:17, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Article(s): Harry Steinfeldt Request: Could someone remove the noise. Spongie555 (talk) 04:50, 29 September 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):✅ Centpacrr (talk) 17:03, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Pamukkale: Over-exposure
Article(s): Pamukkale Request: Do something with them... / correction: the right side of the terraces is over-exposured :-/ CherryX (talk) 20:07, 3 October 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):✅ Gamma adjusted to correct partial overexposure. Centpacrr (talk) 00:02, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Translucid background
Article(s): Charles Darwin Request: One of my usual requests: could we have a .png version of this file with translucid background (only the painting itself)? Lecen (talk) 14:12, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! That's precisely what I was looking for! --Lecen (talk) 17:53, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):✅ done and cleaned up a bit also. — Jdcollins13 (talk) 17:37, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Hawaiian youth
Article(s): Native Hawaiians Request: Crop away white frame and clean up the wave-like lines on the photo Thank you. KAVEBEAR (talk) 19:01, 6 October 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Thank you.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:45, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Signature crop
Article(s): Baynard Rush Hall Request: Please rotate and crop the image so that it's just his signature (in the middle), not including the content around it. It's not yet added to the article (without cropping and rotating, it's virtually useless), but I'll add it once you're done. Nyttend (talk) 21:53, 6 October 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

I created a SVG version. ―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 23:58, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Leonhard Seppala
Article(s): Leonhard Seppala Request: The photos have unnecessary detail around the key images. It'd be great if you could crop the monument photo to focus in on the monument itself, not the surrounding scenery. As for the plaque on the monument, it'd look much better if the photo was cropped so that the image showed only the plaque and not the scenery in the distance. Somuchtolearn (talk) 16:48, 14 October 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

✅ Cropped & straightened plaque. Left the monument shot mostly as is, though gave it a little more sky above and cropped slightly to more center the monument in the shot. At first I cropped the monument shot tighter, but I think the slightly wider shot showing a little background looks better, so I left it. – JBarta (talk) 15:52, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Almond
Article(s): Almond Request: trim to portrait rather than landscape... Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 17:22, 14 October 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): ✅ - Kind regards, Fallschirmjäger &#9993; 22:02, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * That's much better, thank you! I want your opinion, should the crayon on the label be removed or left?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 02:02, 15 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I think the "910" can and should be removed (though I don't have the time or inclination to do it at the moment). Also, what is the brown stuff on the white cap? – JBarta (talk) 15:25, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I could remove the "910", I would just need to know what the question marks are in "Embel?ece?el" - Kingpin13 (talk) 15:40, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * EMBELLECER EL CUTIS – JBarta (talk) 16:01, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. The R is a bit difficult to do, with no reference. But I've had a shot anyway. - Kingpin13 (talk) 16:33, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems okay to me anyway, so I'm marking this as resolved. - Kingpin13 (talk) 00:58, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Color adjust and lighten
Article(s): Truncatella scalarina Request: Please could you remove the very odd strong green tint, and also lighten the image just a little bit? Maybe also remove the odd dots in the lower right hand corner? Many thanks! Invertzoo (talk) 16:31, 21 October 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): ✅ I've removed the green tint and lightened the image. The background I've just changed to black, hope that's okay; Let me know what you think. - Kingpin13 (talk) 19:40, 21 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much Kingpin, it's already so much better than it was! But do you think you could get out even more of the green and also make the shells a bit lighter still? The shells are still rather green in the shadowed areas and in the opening of the shell on the left. The shells should really be a sort of very pale golden-tan like this one. Invertzoo (talk) 23:33, 21 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Sure. Done again but to a greater extent this time, to mimic that other picture you linked to. I was thinking perhaps the green in the top right was some kind of algae or something. Hopefully that's okay this time around. - Kingpin13 (talk) 07:20, 22 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh wow! That's great!! Thank you so much Kingpin. It really makes the article look the way it should be now. What a difference! Thanks again. Invertzoo (talk) 13:05, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Two more shell images, color adjust and brighten
Article(s): Truncatella vincentiana Request: These two images of a different species of Truncatella are also too greenish and too whitish. All the shells should be that pale golden tan color, more or less as shown here. The second of these two images needs to be a bit brighter, if the shell does not loose any sculptural detail that way. Also the backgrounds would be better if they were black. Invertzoo (talk) 13:21, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ - I've colour adjusted both of the images, hopefully they are now looking more along the lines of what your're after. Kind regards, Fallschirmjäger</b></i> <b style="color:#3CB371">&#9993;</b> 23:05, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Excellent! Thank you!!! Invertzoo (talk) 01:26, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Crop then merge of background (Jeri Ryan)
Article(s): Jeri Ryan Request: Can you crop this image so it just has the women in? Then remove the shoulder so its just the purple background. Cheers! — M.Mario  (T/C) 21:23, 23 October 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

✅ I cropped it to Jeri Ryan. I think that's sufficient. – JBarta (talk) 18:41, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Further to Jbarta's crop I have adjusted the colour levels to remove the washed out look of the previous version.

Rurutu and Rimatara

 * First one done. Will do other soon. Also, it would be nice if this stuff were transcribed/ocr'd into text, rather than leaving as images of text. – JBarta (talk) 04:36, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I am in the process of doing this on Wiki Resources but using the images helps.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 04:43, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Second one done. – JBarta (talk) 13:04, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 22:50, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Capitoline Temple
Article(s): User:Prioryman/Volubilis Request: I'm working in my userspace on a rewrite of Volubilis, with the intention of getting it to Featured Article status. I was there a few weeks ago and took the above photo. However, when I got home I found there was a lens flare in the middle of the picture over the third pillar from the left. Is it fixable? Prioryman (talk) 22:05, 27 October 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

✅ Not perfect, but should be sufficient. – JBarta (talk) 07:22, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Prioryman (talk) 07:30, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Downeaster (video noise)
Article(s): Downeaster Request: Since there doesn't seem to be a better place to request this, I've put it here. Would it be possible for someone to remove some of the wind noise from the file? Pi.1415926535 (talk) 03:16, 28 October 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

✅ Didn't remove the wind noise, but selectively edited volume and applied a couple fades to make the wind noise less obnoxious. – JBarta (talk) 09:03, 29 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Perfect, thank you! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 09:13, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Julie, Elliott and Salma
Article(s): Frida Request: This image of Julie, Elliot and Salma all together would be perfect for an article I'm working on, except I'd like to lose Eric Owens (the man in the make-up). Would it be possible to remove him from the image? - JuneGloom    Talk  16:18, 28 October 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): I've made a stab at this, let me know if that's what you were looking for. - Kingpin13 (talk) 22:27, 30 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh Kingpin13, that's perfect! Thank you! - JuneGloom    Talk  00:26, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Glad I could help - Kingpin13 (talk) 00:57, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Not bad Kingpin13... not bad at all. – JBarta (talk) 03:54, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Nina Wadia
Article(s): Nina Wadia Request: Can you make the image bigger, then sharpen it so it wont be blurry? Many thanks! :D — M.Mario  (T/C) 18:33, 2 November 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): ✅ - Recropped from original.

Simple crop
Article(s): Ada Lovelace Request: Could someone crop this image so that the plaque is centered, but maintain a standard aspect ratio (4:3?). Kaldari (talk) 21:28, 7 November 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):✅ — Jdcollins13 (talk) 22:33, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Yuri Bregel
Article(s): Yuri Bregel Request: Create a new file with the photo cropped to show only Yuri Bregel, and remove the watermark from the original image if possible. Shrigley (talk) 05:33, 9 November 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Kalanimoku 1826 signature
Article(s): Kalanimoku Request: Could someone please vectorize this signature, I need a .svg version of this signature with translucid background.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 17:12, 10 November 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Hard to make a decent svg file from such a small original image. I managed to do it, but not sure it's preferrable to the original image. – JBarta (talk) 07:07, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Boaz Mahune 1842 signature
Article(s): Boaz Mahune Request: Please clean up the part that is not the signature, don't tamper with the texture of the background. Thank you. Vectorizing it will be a plus but I really need a clean jpg version of the original. KAVEBEAR (talk) 18:45, 11 November 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

"Texture" of the background? There really is no texture, just crap that came through on the scan. At any rate I cleaned it up. Leaving various dirt and smudges made no sense to me. There's a bit under the "u" that probably needs to go. And there's a mark I removed after the "e" that could possibly be an acute accent. Don't know. It can be put back in if necessary. – JBarta (talk) 04:06, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
