Border removal and tidy

 * Article(s):
 * HMS Boyne (1766), Battle of St Lucia


 * Request:
 * Please remove white border to tidy up torn edges and remove pencil marks. Also, please remove the library stamp. Additionally there is a dark mark running vertically through the image caused by a crease in the map; if anything can be done to lighten or remove that, that would be great. Thanks -- Ykraps (talk) 06:05, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Color correction?
PawełMM (talk) 08:10, 16 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Article(s):
 * Gourmet Room, Terrace Plaza Hotel, Natalie de Blois, Joan Miro


 * Request:
 * This old postcard has faded to the point the mural background, which started out a deep clear blue, is now green, which I guess likely(?) means the whole thing has yellowed, and although it's not a great image, it's so far the only one I've been able to find that is in the public domain. An accurate representation of the actual colors of the mural can be seen at this professional photographer's website. I would love to be able to show an accurate representation of what this artwork looked like in this iconic space. Thanks for any help! -- Valereee (talk) 21:34, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

✅ I tried, but I'm not sure about the colors. Where can I see another photo of this object? PawełMM (talk) 00:01, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Discussion:


 * Thanks! Just found another photo of the room from the same angle here! Valereee (talk) 00:10, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the link. Unfortunately I am unable to get the colours to match. Either the mural or the furniture upholstery and ceiling. It would be necessary to do the different parts separately. The result is questionable and the workload disproportionate. PawełMM (talk) 07:01, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @PawełMM, thank you anyway! I appreciate the effort! We'll just have to wait until the Ezra Stoller photos enter public domain. :) And I'm actually thinking the new retouched version looks pretty good, might be worth using instead of the green one. Valereee (talk) 13:48, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
