 * Request:
 * Could someone help me out with this image? I uploaded the image, but unfortunately for some reason it was cut wrongly. It needs to look like this here, and therefore requires some re-cutting/fixing. Something like this size would be ideal. -- LouisAragon (talk) 18:00, 22 March 2016 (UTC)


 * , thanks a lot, looks neat! Could you also perhaps remove the two bar at the bottom, under the image? Basically the bar with Arabic text and the one under it (Latin text)? That should finish it. Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 19:09, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

 * 2) Crop and improve if possible. -- ? ??????  talk  10:51, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

I cropped and lightened the second one, but it shows up dark like the first. I'm thinking that uploading jpg versions might be the way to go. Gimme a few hours and I'll do that. MjolnirPants  Tell me all about it.  13:46, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Graphist opinion(s):
 * I've re-saved both as greyscale with saved gamma, which seems to have fixed the thumbnail darkness issue. ( Hohum  @ ) 16:58, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Graphist opinion(s):
 * Watermark removed. I might have a go at using Lens Blur to 'remove' the other person later. The masking will be quite tricky.  nagual  design   15:32, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Removing that guy might be a bit too much for an encyclopedia... I'm not sure. I could do it with cropping and duping the crowd, but that's an awfully heavy hand to take. Does anyone else have thoughts about doing this much editing to an image? MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  15:44, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Here's a quick test that I did using Lens Blur. [dead link removed] Obviously the masking needs to be tidied up but I think the effect looks okay. What would be heavy-handed is cropping out Prince Charles/replacing the background with something made up. What do you think of my test image?  nagual  design   15:52, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I can't see it (I'm at work, and they block the site you used). You could upload it, and we could revert if needed.
 * I agree that cropping and painting out the guy would be heavy handed, that's what I was trying to say. If your lens blur effect looks good, I'd vote for that over any airbrushing type changes. MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  15:57, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I'd rather not upload a half-finished image to the Commons. I've got my reputation to think of, dontyaknow! I have to go out shortly but I'll finish the job later, if nobody beats me to it. I'm fairly certain you'll like it though. Regards,   nagual  design   16:03, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Yours looks pretty damn good to me, although I think cropping it a bit to cut part of that guy out would do a lot towards minimizing his presence in the scene. MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  13:25, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
