 * I'd say that it's unfortunately not really feasible for the watermarks on these to be removed, too much original detail would be lost in any alterations. A crop may be a better option! Liandrei (talk) 20:48, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

 * It is a faint watermark indeed. It is best visible in the second image (the crop), as always with Francesco Veronesi halfway the photograph. Thanks for working on no 3 & 4. Vysotsky (talk) 19:35, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Cleanup/restoration?
Hello! I'm not entirely sure what to ask for, but I'm hoping to make this image more "readable" for a forthcoming article on Democrat Hot Springs (skeleton at User:Jengod/Springsdraft

File:P16003coll2 12991 full - Huntington SoCal Ed - Call No 02-01243 - Kern River No. 1 - View of Democrat Hot Springs circa 1923 by G. Haven Bishop.jpg

it's not too bad but I can't help but feel it could be improved. Maybe a crop and some kind of increase in clarity and sharpness? TIA for anything you can do. jengod (talk) 21:59, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I've cropped, adjusted levels, removed the text, and removed a few scratches. – Pbrks ( t·c ) 01:53, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Colors in this McDonald's image

 * Article(s):
 * Super Size Me


 * Request:
 * So, this is a 480p photo of some discontinued McDonald's sides from an old TV commercial (80s copyright formalities PD). The thing is, it might be a third or fourth generation copy, and the colors are really ruined, maybe a little misaligned too. I was wondering if anyone knew how to color correct it, or what other work could be done that would make it more legible and useful. Non-free photos of the packaging, which could be useful references, exist in higher quality (like in this listing). Thanks for taking a look! -- 3df (talk) 16:42, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

❌  This is a very, very large file. To process it, a computer with a large operating memory and computing power is required. The task exceeds the capabilities of commonly used computers. PawełMM (talk) 10:02, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Discussion:


 * @PawełMM: Yeah, that makes sense. Vinícius O. (talk) 19:24, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

It opened and cropped in seconds in Photoshop on my MacPro with 20GB ram. Photoshop is optimized for very large images. I'll upload soon. Zerotalk 04:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

✅  I am unable to upload the cropped image on top of the old one. Even though there is a 5GB limit on copies from a select list of web sites (which is where this file came from), the limit for ordinary uploads is 100MB. This original file is 287MB and the cropped version is 205MB. Rather than overwriting the file with a reduced-res version, I created a new image at File:The Night Watch - cropped.jpg at half the resolution. It is still pretty big as far as Commons images go (28,302 × 23,662 pixels) and I have no objection if someone wants to load it on top of File:The Night Watch - HD.jpg.
