Weird rotation

 * Article(s):

 * Request:
 * See WP:VPT, section "Image properly rotated and not properly rotated". Basically, this image has been rotated 90° according to the metadata, but it still appears right-side-up unless you view it at full resolution.  Could you rotate it so that it appears properly at full resolution without affecting its appearance otherwise?  Nyttend (talk) 00:35, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

✅ I don't know who did it, but if you look now, the image is oriented right-side up on Commons. Carl Henderson (talk) 00:22, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

WWI art postcards

 * Article(s):
 * Comité des Étudiants Américains de l'École des Beaux-Arts Paris, & significant potential use on other articles, for many of the images.


 * Request:
 * Hello, again :)
 * I have had a "standing" request to trim & re-orient the (antique, PD pre-1923, mostly original-art, largely WWI-related; & original to "us", in that wikipedia serves as the primary online source for these files) postcards i've been uploading (mostly high-resolution scans taken by me; "found" images for items where the original is not accessible to me), as seen on my user-page here User:Lx_121. This request seems to have gone "stale"; a good number of the cards have been finished, but none recently, & the backlog is growing...


 * I realize this represents a great deal of work for you guys, but i'm hoping that at least the postcards that are in-use (or will be) in the article-space can get finished. In particular the cards seen on Comité des Étudiants Américains de l'École des Beaux-Arts Paris; many of which can be re-used in other articles as well.


 * I would prefer that the edges of the card remain visible in the cropped versions, so that readers can get a sense of the postcards "as objects"; the cards already done by user:centpacrr & user:mjolnirpants are ideal examples of what i'm going for. if anyone wants to do alternative edge-less versions, or otherwise "extract" the art, feel free, but please upload them under separate filenames?


 * thank-you, in advance, for your continuing attention & efforts! Lx 121 (talk) 13:27, 16 August 2015 (UTC)


 * hello; it's been over a week now, since i posted. i am trying to be patient, but... any hope? did i do something wrong, or to cause offence? xD could i at least get the postcards that are "sideways" fixed?


 * would it be better if i posted requests 1 at a time?


 * Lx 121 (talk) 17:05, 24 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Graphist opinion(s):

I think people are confused because you didn't post any images up here that you wanted fixed. I can't tell from your request what photos you are asking for. Perhaps if you put the images you wanted people to work on by your request as a gallery, you would have more success. Carl Henderson (talk) 03:11, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Colorization for Belgium national football team

 * Article(s):
 * Belgium national football team


 * Request:
 * I am currently reviewing Kareldorado's article on the Belgian national team (for Good Article status), and would greatly appreciate it if the black and white photograph of this historic Belgian squad could be colorized. The image will be used in the section about the team's "colors" (sports uniform/kit), and it is terribly depressing that the image itself has no colors. No other image file is available (freely) for the team, so colorizing one of the B&W photos is the only option at this time. Thanks in advance for the help!-- MarshalN20 T al k 20:24, 17 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Graphist opinion(s):


 * I ought to warn against colourizing photos. I did a few for someone before others pointed out that it's very unencyclopedic to use them under most circumstances. I tend to agree. Sorry.  nagual  design   20:53, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Nagual, I understand what you mean. However, the reason I made this request is because I believe that this is a circumstance where adding color to a photograph would help illustrate the subject. By the way, is there a guideline on photo colorization? I looked for one prior to making this request but found none.-- MarshalN20 T al k 21:21, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know of any specific guidelines, but as a rule of thumb I'd suggest that you find good reference material that shows the actual colours, otherwise you'll fall foul of WP:OR. To be honest I think that image is inappropriate for that article subsection. If you can find a reliable source for the colours (even the name of the specific dyes, for example) I might be able to draw something?  nagual  design   23:14, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Nagual, thank you for the information. I am going to ping the expert on the Belgian team. Is it possible that you could provide to Nagual the information for the colors? Also, please do carefully consider Nagual's recommendation that maybe another image should be used instead. Regards.-- MarshalN20  T al k 18:57, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, somewhere I do know a picture from a cover with a shirt of the old days, that should approximate the colours closely. Thanks for the help already, both of you! Kareldorado (talk) 19:04, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Apart from the crest that was later added, they used basically the same shirt type in the 1920s, 1930s, 1950s and 1960s, that is: red with tricolour red-yellow-black at the margins. Michaël Bellon wrote a book about Belgium's historical shirts and you can see a shirt he owns of the 1960s (an original shirt!) at the following book cover: . Apparently this was still a very bright red in these days. Other pictures of the author with that same shirt can be found at page 1 and 2 of this PDF:, where the author is depicted as well. Of course my suggestion is to use the colour of that shirt. I have no clue that the brightness of the red would vary a lot between these decades. Kareldorado (talk) 19:17, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe it would be more convincing if I show greyscale pictures of both eras (1920s&1960s), to check how comparable these are. Kareldorado (talk) 19:23, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe even a better suggestion: I show a greyscale 1960s team picture in which the national team has exactly the same shirt design as the authentic 1960s shirt I mentioned. Then I will kindly beg you to colour the uniforms in the team picture in the same black, yellow and red as in the colour picture. Kareldorado (talk) 19:40, 18 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Just to be clear, I wasn't suggesting that I recolour this image for you. In fact I'm advising you not to use an image in this way. What I was prepared to do was create an illustration for you, specifically for that subsection. Now I see that you have used a colour photo from the 1980s instead. Perfect! As for the illustration I've also since discovered Template:Football kit and History of the Belgium national football team, so any new drawing seems rather unnecessary.  nagual  design   04:27, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do realise that you rather did not, and advised us not to do so (which I can understand, because as mentioned above this is probably not historically correct). So I looked over the options I had, but I feel ok with the current solution as well - thanks for your advice anyway! Kareldorado (talk) 06:20, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Hello graphics people! I have a hunch that you can do a better extraction, right?  Anythingyouwant (talk) 01:43, 20 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Graphist opinion(s):
 * ✅ - How's that? I just did a straightforward crop, no adjustments at all.  nagual  design   04:16, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but there's only 266 KB, compared to 8.19 MB in the original. So, hasn't a lot of quality been sacrificed here?  Another editor thought some brightening might make the left side of his face more apparent.Anythingyouwant (talk) 04:31, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * that's a property of the sizing of images. As a 2D grid, reducing the pixel dimensions by half results (for example) in a file whose total pixel count is the square root of the original pixel count. The original was 21 megapixels. By cropping down, it was reduced to 2.7 megapixels. Also, the .jpeg compression could play a part in it. Finally, I brightened up the shadows on his face, if you want to do a before and after and decide which version you like. MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  12:38, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the additional image, and for info about the pixels and bytes. This third image seems to be a marked improvement from the first, so I'll take it....and please bill either my American Xpress Card, or my Viza Card, whichever you prefer. :-)Anythingyouwant (talk) 15:52, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for explaining, MjolnirPants. Also, since the new image doesn't contain large amounts of high-frequency data (save, perhaps, for his tie) it was easily compressed to about 65% if I remember correctly, with very little loss of quality.  nagual  design   03:15, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That's what I meant by the reference to the jpeg compression. I never ran any utilities or did any math to make sure, but the cropped version looked like one that would get more compression out of the same method. It's good to know that there are others working here who know something about the technology we use. In my experience, far too few photoshoppers know anything at all about computer imaging. :D MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  14:14, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Trump_MarineCorpsFoundation_April22_2015_%28second_pic%29.jpg:MjolnirPants, another editor has objected to the revised image above on the basis that it is too grainy. Therefore, I have uploaded another image from the same event, at right.  Do you think the image at right might enable you to produce a cropped image that is less grainy?  Thanks.Anythingyouwant (talk) 18:29, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Honestly, that new one is just as grainy. It's an artifact of taking high-res photos under dim lighting conditions (it's very common to stage productions, as the lights on stage generally aren't much brighter than room lights, it's just the dim audience chamber that makes it look bright). I could try to smooth out the grain somewhat, if you like. Also, as an FYI, if you use the  template, it'll alert the user you mention. We don't normally get any alert when someone just links to our user pages.  MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  20:41, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I took a stab at reducing the grain. See if this one gets a better reception. MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  21:09, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * , thanks for the ping information and the new stab. If you're correct about the pings, then WP:PING ought to be corrected, because it says that "plain links to user pages will also work".   As for the Trump pics, your new one looks much better, thanks.Anythingyouwant (talk) 21:12, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know it says that. It even works once in a blue moon. But the vast majority of the time (for me, anyways) I never get a notification. That's why I recommend using the ping template. I know it always works for me. ;) MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  22:05, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * At risk of trying your patience, it seems that a blue background would be preferred to a black one. Have you got any of those, please?Also, others are saying of the picture at right that "this is better that the one where he looks constipated" (so maybe it would be better to work with the pic at right).  This Wikipedia article will be getting a lot of attention, in case that makes up for the trouble producing a good, non-grainy picture.  Thanks again.Anythingyouwant (talk) 12:06, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I have no problem working on the other image. I do have a problem with changing the background to blue. That smacks of an attempt to introduce a bias, as most scheduled presidential appearances have him appearing in front of a blue background. Unless the other major candidates are also depicted in front of a blue background, it seems too likely to introduce a bias. MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  12:58, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * An editor said they don't like the black background, and indeed any other color would be more useful by showing the outline of shoulders. Please use any other color you think appropriate.  I just picked blue because that's the background of the current image.Anythingyouwant (talk) 13:09, 25 August 2015 (UTC)


 * How's this one? I made the shoulders more visible, got rid of most of the grain, and removed extraneous elements (the plaque and the head of the guy behind him). MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  13:39, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It looks okay to me. However, here is a quote from the article talk page: "I think that dark background on white Wikipedia will be weird."  I can bring this image over there, but it will probably meet that same objection.  Perhaps a gray or white background?

I can do a white or a light grey background, but if I do, it's going to be obvious that the background was modified. It's the hair that cinches it. The amount of editing required to make the hair look natural against a lighter background is well beyond what I'm capable of devoting to edits for WP (I edit mostly from work, so I can't do edits that take me more than a half hour or so). MjolnirPants  Tell me all about it.  14:53, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay, I think the last image you did is an excellent bit of graphic work, and may be the best possible. If you want to try a dark gray background, that would be similar to black but might avoid problems of a light color, while making shape of shoulders plain and meeting objection by other editor at talk page against black background.  This will be my last suggestion or request here regarding a Trump image.  As I said, your last image is very good, so we can go with that if you would like.  Cheers, and thanks again.Anythingyouwant (talk) 17:47, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Graphist opinion(s):
 * ✅ - Have cleaned it up a bit too without altering too much from the original, can convert to B&W if needed.

 * Request:
 * Can we have the folds of the paper cleaned up? Also, can the quality be a bit better? It's too blurry a lot of places. Étienne Dolet (talk) 06:48, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Request:
 * I moved your request over to the Photography Workshop, as the request is better served by photography editors. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 15:06, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Centering the image more would cut off much of the subject's arm and mess up the composition of the photo. Additionally, the original image is of fairly low quality (a number of visible compression artifacts), and any photoshop quality improvements would essentially be repainting parts of the image.
