Article(s): Ortelius Request: remove excess white border, leave frame... Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 11:07, 18 June 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):


 * The white border is part of the physical map, I wouldn't crop that? This is a FP... so I strongly am against modifying it. — raeky ( talk 11:37, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree, that white border I presume is part of the original paper the map was printed on so I wouldn't remove it.  Fallschirmjäger   &#9993; 14:31, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Request: remove Moiré pattern. Jonyungk (talk) 19:11, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
 * ✅ the first two.Finemann (talk) 07:19, 7 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. Everything looks great so far, and am looking forward to seeing how the third image comes out. Jonyungk (talk) 21:53, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I gave a shot at editing the first two images. I think they came out less blurry and bloomy. In the "young" image I also fixed some scratches and tears. I reduced the Moiré patterns in the third image somewhat, but not entirely (the image is in Commons with the same name).
 * By the way, presuming you scanned these 3 images by yourself, could you perhaps re-scan them (if necessary) and upload them in higher resolution? That way the Moiré patterns would have shorter wavelengths and would be much easier to remove. —Quibik (talk) 19:38, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I don't have access to a scanner. The images were taken from Google books, though I also have a copy of Brother Musicians as a reference for the article. What you've done looks great, though. Thanks very muuch for your help&mdash;you really went above and beyond the call. Jonyungk (talk) 00:03, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Stop sign with pink streak on it
Article(s): MC Hammer Request: I am not sure if the pink streak across the lower part of the stop sign is actually part of the sign, or a weird lighting effect from photographing it. Either way, though, the streak is distracting, and so I request that the pink streak be removed. Thanks! SchuminWeb (Talk) 19:28, 26 June 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): New file at File:Brunswick-Stop-80s-time_edit.jpg ✅ Finemann (talk) 07:26, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
 * In the description of image we can read: "Vandalized stop sign at the Brunswick MARC station in Brunswick Maryland." So, I think, the pink strip shouldn't be removed. PawełMM (talk) 07:31, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

The description means that somebody wrote "Hammer Time" a catchphrase of MC Hammer on the sign, which attributed to vandalism. The pink strip has got nothing to do with this Finemann (talk) 07:51, 27 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for fixing the pink streak. SchuminWeb (Talk) 13:42, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Portrait of William-B. Kurtz
Article(s): List of works by Thomas Eakins Request: I uploaded the first version of this painting last year. Today, I got a much higher resolution scan of this painting. But, if you compare the new version of this painting (above) to the old version, the color balance in the new version is a bit off, and the new version has a spot on his forehead that shouldn't be there. Raul654 (talk) 19:29, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

✅: Done as requested. PawełMM (talk) 23:26, 28 June 2010 (UTC)


 * PawełMM did the right thing by uploading the new image separately. Photography of artworks is very tricky, and it seems to me that the original colors could be either one of these. I haven't seen this painting in person, so I can't tell for sure. Hopefully Raul654 does. Regards -- Orionist  ★  talk  17:54, 30 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I haven't seen the original painting firsthand because it's not in a public collection. It's owned by Daniel Dietrich II. I've asked Mr. Dietrich through a mutual friend if I can photograph his collection, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.
 * Regardless, though, I'm not totally satisfied with PawełMM's version. This version (the old low-res one) seems to be exactly what we should be shooting for. The high resolution one I uploaded (above, left) has over-saturated skin tone; PawełMM's version has the right skin tone, but the rest of it looks washed out. Raul654 (talk) 05:28, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * There are two color changed versions. The second one is a bit little washed out. Please, compare with, if it is better - you can return to it. PawełMM (talk) 21:00, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I hadn't noticed PawełMM's first uploaded version. That is exactly what I was looking for. I've tweaked it (photoshopped out a couple of dark specs that shouldn't have been there) and re-uploaded. Raul654 (talk) 21:34, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it seems you guys have solved it while I was working on another version! I uploaded my suggestion above, where I also cropped the intrusive remnants of the frame. I kept de-saturation to a minimum to keep the rich colors captured in the high-res image. What do you think? -- Orionist  ★  talk  22:00, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I like it a lot. Great job. Raul654 (talk) 00:42, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Fill in head sign
Article(s): Washington Metro rolling stock Request: One of the downsides to shooting LED signs during the day is that the fast shutter occasionally makes a line in the LED sign that you don't normally see. The message should read, "|| ORANGE ||". Requesting that this be filled in to make it readable. Four lines of LEDs in the middle of the image are missing. The missing LED bulbs are present in the image, but just not lit. The full message would look like this:

Verso of drawing of Gears
but without any obvious seam or mismatched brightness. Raul654 (talk) 23:10, 18 June 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):


 * These two copies were made trough dirty glass and they are out of focus and have weak contrast. Seams can not be removed entirely, because it destroys then drawing. I will overwrite the old file. PawełMM (talk) 10:19, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Louie Caporusso faceoff
Article(s): face-off Louie Caporusso Request: I want to nominate these as a set at WP:FPC or WP:VPC. I think these were taken through plexiglass. There was a reflection on the referees pant leg. The prior graphist at Graphic_Lab/Photography_workshop/Archive/Jun_2010 seems to have complicated the problem. Can a better correction be made?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:02, 2 July 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Can you be more specific as to the problems with the first correction? I can see a seam on the right leg and a couple of patches on the left leg. Is that all or is there something else? -- Orionist  ★  talk  18:04, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I was hoping for the coloration of the referee's pants to be pretty uniform so that the reflection was not noticeable and the correction was not noticeable.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:11, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I've worked on the first image (File:20090227 Louie Caporusso at faceoff.jpg). I hope it is to your satisfaction, in which case I can proceed and work on the other two images. If you need more to be done, please specify the exact area. Regards -- Orionist  ★  talk  13:35, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
