Panoramic stitching 2
Article(s): Nagoya Castle Request: Please stitch together into panorama (do not use Autostitch, since it makes stranges curves). Then remove background. Thank you. Gryffindor (talk) 07:41, 13 March 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion:

Ethel Merman
Article(s): Ethel Merman Request: please remove the tape from the middle of File:Ethel Merman NYWTS.jpg-Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 07:32, 18 February 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

✅: Dress was reconstructed. Palm was not reconstructed. Changes are visible intentionally. Stains was cleaned up. PawełMM (talk) 14:48, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Can someone make a version without the intentionally visible changes? Nobody asked for an experimental photo.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 13:09, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I think, that nobody knows exactly what it was on lacking fragment. The left traces of reconstruktion are conforming with custom. During reconstruction the repaired fragments be left often as visible. Every reconstruction is an experiment. PawełMM (talk) 09:23, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Panoramic stitching
Article(s): Nagoya Castle Request: Please stitch together into panorama (do not use Autostitch, since it makes stranges curves). Then remove background. Thank you. Gryffindor (talk) 07:40, 13 March 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion: May not be possible, but will give it a shot. --RA (talk) 15:49, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * (I had a go at this by the way, and you're right: it may not be possible ;D. Good luck though :) - Kingpin13 (talk) 15:56, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

✅ File:Nagoya Castle2.jpg Rough but may be sufficient. --RA (talk) 16:43, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Good job actually, much better than anything I could come up with. It's easy to miss the lines if you're not looking for them - Kingpin13 (talk) 23:04, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Photo crops
Article(s): Yigael Yadin, Israeli legislative election, 1977, Moshe Sharett, Israeli legislative election, 1955 Request: Can this image be cropped down to a more portrait-style dimensions? Thanks. Metallurgist (talk) 05:32, 16 March 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

I would say they are fine as they are. I wouldn't worry abuot the dimensions being square-ish. The composition is fine. --RA (talk) 14:15, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Portrait of a Yorkshire lady
Request: Please crop sides (keeping frame on), and straighten. Thank you! MarmadukePercy (talk) 13:38, 19 March 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

✅ --RA (talk) 13:58, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I discarded the frame because it would look wonky in many use cases. --RA (talk) 13:59, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. It seems to have lost a little detail (it's a little bit cloudier) in the process and not as sharp. Can that be tweaked? MarmadukePercy (talk) 17:46, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
 * A gradual reduction in the quality of an image is to be expect every time it is manipulated. I gave it another go, adjusting the contract more this time to try to bring out the writing a little more, but I think some detail (such as the writing) is simply going to get lost no matter what. --RA (talk) 20:14, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for your efforts. MarmadukePercy (talk) 23:44, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Article(s): Ōsu Kannon, Leistler Bookcase, Fortnum & Mason, Royal Warrant of Appointment (United Kingdom), Royal Arcade, London Request: Please stitch, the individual requests with which image to stitch are already in the Commons page.

Jannisary
Article(s): Jannisary Request: Could someone fix the tilt and restore it. Spongie555 (talk) 07:59, 19 March 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

✅ --RA (talk) 14:11, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Could you remove that speck of dust on his left also? Spongie555 (talk) 17:06, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Removed it and a few more. --RA (talk) 18:47, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Could you pleasee upload such "improvements" with another name? Now the image is just black and white "line art", but it used to be a representation of a very real print, with all its defects, but also naturalness and beauty. I strongly oppose destroying my uploads with that kind of "improvement", so at least let my files exist alongside the "cleaned" (and IMHO not very attractive) versions. --AndreasPraefcke (talk) 16:14, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I've re-uploaded the original to a new location, this was in order to maintain the change history for the version that was worked on. The original file in its new location is linked above. --RA (talk) 08:46, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Article(s): Xu Fu, Qin Shi Huang, Naval history of China, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Battle of Azukizaka (1564), Ikkō-ikki Request: Xu Fu's expedition needs more colour and have the two lines where it was folded removed. The print of the battle of azukizaka has the 2 lines where it was folded even more pronounced if posible join the 3 parts also in the right hand panel the image looks blurry please correct, the right pannel has good colour but the left and center colour needs a bit more. Thank you Andres rojas22 (talk) 06:27, 25 March 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

✅: Done as requested. PawełMM (talk) 15:26, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, if you could enhanced Xu Fu's colour to look as alive and colourfull as the battle of azukizaka would be great cause with the colours it has it looks gray and dull--Andres rojas22 (talk) 18:00, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion(s): What do you need me to do? Bobherry (talk) 17:40, 1 April 2011 (UTC)'''

Major
Article(s): N/A, Upload Request: I am a graphist here and found this one and marked too small 20x12 pix. and clean up and need it unblured and retouched and resized. Heres where I found it too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:20px-Flag_of_East_Germany.svg.png Bobherry (talk) 17:33, 1 April 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): That image is far too small and could never be unblurred to get back the detail, besides I persume the uploader made it from the original SVG image to get a 20px version but there is no need to have done that. The original File:Flag of East Germany.svg can be rescaled using wiki markup, like this. Regards, Fallschirmjäger &#9993; 09:34, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Hakutaku/Bai Ze
Article(s): Bai Ze/Hakutaku Request: The image is a crop of an 18th-19th century (Edo period) Japanese painting of a hakutaku, intended as an "icon"/talisman, as described in the article. I'd like to add it to said article (especially since we have a relative paucity of images of the creature). The original painting, however, is EXTREMELY fragile, & i'm still trying to figure out how to scan it, without damaging it; so, for the near-to-forseeable future, a photo will have to do. Image needs contrast enhancement (at least) to show the lines of the drawing more clearly; could use other work, too. Lx 121 (talk) 07:58, 3 April 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Article(s): Good King Wenceslas Request: Please fix perspective and crop. Gryffindor (talk) 16:01, 2 April 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Alexander Cartwright
Article(s): Alexander Cartwright Request: Remove scratches and improve quality and resolution?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:17, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): ❌ Sorry, real life obligations just got in the way, I can't spend time on this for a while. But I did find this image that could be used. I'm not sure what's allowed in terms of fair-use manipulation. The original has a better suit (more contrast) that could be used to cover up the text, and the larger image has a better face and cleaner overall appearance. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ galaxies  07:06, 6 April 2011 (UTC) =Resolved=

I've uploaded a new version, because PawełMM's one wasn't properly masked. If you still prefer the previous one, replace it ;) --Sisyphos23 (talk) 13:05, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Black background
Article(s): Mantua (clothing), wine cooler Request: Please make background black. Gryffindor (talk) 21:55, 31 March 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): I coluldn'd exactly set upper left border of dish on the third image. PawełMM (talk) 15:27, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

✅: Done 1 & 2. PawełMM (talk) 15:27, 3 April 2011 (UTC)


 * ✅ – try my hand at the third image. Uploaded as new file per request. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  03:32, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Marvelous. PawełMM (talk) 05:09, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Gorgeous. You missed a spot though. The dog on the left (from our viewpoint), the space between his right front leg and left front leg should be black as well, compare to the original. Thank you very much. Gryffindor (talk) 20:16, 9 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the compliments, both of you. As for the podium in the background, great catch, I'll get that right now. I think I also took off too many grapes from the far left hand; I'll re-add those. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  01:00, 10 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Apparently I missed a whole bunch of background down there. I removed the background from both dogs and directly beneath the bowl. Gryffindor, see my talk page regarding the base. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  01:34, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

remove background
Article(s): Biscuit tin, Royal Crown Derby Request: Please remove background and make black. Gryffindor (talk) 15:07, 4 April 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): Background removed for first and second images. Second image, I also uploaded a perspective control correction version. If you don't approve, simply revert to the black background-only edit. Unfortunately, I won't work on images not being used in articles, so I did not do the third one. (The second one I didn't notice until after the work was done.) –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  11:11, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks. Is it really too much too ask though to do the last image? Any takers? Thank you for your help. Gryffindor (talk) 13:14, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I can't be sure the images aren't being used for commercial or personal purposes outside of Wikipedia. Sorry! –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  00:37, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Right. The last image is now built into an article, I hope that helps. Gryffindor (talk) 23:17, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It does help, thanks. Just a personal principle. The last image is as you requested, plus color correction, slight perspective correction, levels adjustment, and tiny cropping to center it all. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  08:22, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
