Oval crop
Article(s): Mongkut, Bennett Nāmākēhā Request:
 * Please oval crop and upload over a transparent background with little to no cleaning as File:Daguerreotype of King Mongkut and Daughter, 1861.png and File:Bennett Namakeha or George Wood.png. Leave originals. -- KAVEBEAR (talk) 18:18, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):


 * ✅ The second one is done under File:Bennett Namakeha or George Wood transparency.png. Wikimedia claimed the filename you provided already existed, though it does not. I requested a rename. I'll do the first one very soon. MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  16:37, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅ The first one is done, under the same stipulations as the second: File:Daguerreotype of King Mongkut and Daughter, 1861 transparency.png. MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  16:43, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * User:MjolnirPants. Thank so much. Can you crop the transparencies of the second one a bit to the sides to remove any extra space. It looks likes the frames are just replaced by the transparency. The oval image inside should be a stand alone image by itself like File:Daguerreotype of King Mongkut and Daughter, 1861.png and File:Judge Thomas Jefferson Boynton oval crop.png.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 20:15, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Does he look photoshopped in to anyone else? Can someone take a look at that anomaly?... -- Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 13:16, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):According to its metadata this image file was created in Adobe Photoshop CS2 Windows at 11:19AM pm July 7, 2009, the day it was uploaded to Wikipedia. Inspecting it at high magnification, however, does not reveal anything to me that indicates that it has been altered in any way to be misleading. Centpacrr (talk) 14:32, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Emishi
Article(s): Emishi Request:
 * flatten distortion, remove or even edges... -- Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 10:26, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):   Cropped and adjusted gamma as requested. Not sure if this is what you wanted; if not feel free to restore original. Centpacrr (talk) 12:18, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't know exactly what gamma is, the distortion I was talking about is the bowed shape of the image, probably from being photocopied, or photographed right out of a book.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 13:31, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
 * gamma is the the lightness (not the same as brightness) of an image. I can give you a better explanation if you want, later. I wasn't sure if Centpacrr had fixed the distortion, so I made a new version of it starting from the original, where I adjusted gamma, brightness, and removed the distortion before cropping it. If either of you wants to revert me, go right ahead. I apologize if I offended you, Centpacrr, for jumping in and redoing it. No offense (or criticism) was intended. MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  15:02, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
 * It doesn't really matter to me as it was unclear to me what Kintetsubuffalo wanted. Whatever version he likes is fine with me. Centpacrr (talk) 15:53, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
 * Unfortunately you can't have an photograph to an SVG. We generally use SVG format for icons, logos, drawings, maps, flags, and such. Certain things, photographs especially, are totally impossible to vectorize. ///Euro Car  GT  15:01, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
 * What about PNG? Jaqeli 15:04, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
