Rare Che Guevara pictures
Request: Both images are really old and extremely rare. They both suffer from lots of image noise, strangely colored pixels in random places and lack of sharpness in some areas. I was wondering if anyone can do a general clean-up for both images. I think both have the potential of being valued images on wikipedia and even perhaps featured images. -- The Egyptian Liberal (talk) 12:39, 6 September 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Rebecca Breeds, Luke Mitchell, Ray Meagher, Steve and Lincoln
Article(s): Rebecca Breeds, Luke Mitchell, Ray Meagher Request: Could there be 2 crops made of the image of Rebecca and Luke, for usage in their actor info boxes. The original image can be used as a stand alone image still in other related articles. Can Ray Meagher's image also be cropped suitable for an info box as he is currently pocketed in the corner. Thankyou in advance. Rain the One  BAM 23:59, 30 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks again, Materialscientist. :) I've added a new image, in addition to the outstanding Rebecca and Luke request. The two men Steve Peacocke (in the white top) and Lincoln Younes are Australian actors. The two girls are unknown. Could they be cropped out from the main image. Can two seperate crops be created for use in other articles - "Steve Peacocke.jpg" and "Lincoln Younes.jpg", which would be useful for an infobox.

Graphist opinion(s): Rotated first and cropped second. Haven't got time/energy for separating Rebecca and Luke right now - nice-looking couple :). Materialscientist (talk) 05:44, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Article(s): Princess Sophia of the United Kingdom Request: Could this image pleased be cropped so that only the painting (not the frame or surrounding wall, as photographs of them would be copyrightable) is visible, and upload it over the top of the current image?

 * Alternatively, if you'd prefer to work from a cleaner base image, there is one here. Thanks again! J Milburn (talk) 00:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
 * ✅ something. There are dozens of possible further tweaks to the image though. For example, the dark rim (frame shadows) can be cropped - but this will reduce the image area. Restoring them is also possible, but more time consuming. Materialscientist (talk) 01:31, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

 * ✅ The first three photographs had a much lower quality than the fourth image (in terms of sharpness and color balance, for example), so there was no point in extracting/combining any of them.

I hate editing non-free images on Wikipedia. You spend time making an image look nice, then three months later you get a message on your talk page from some bot stating that it's no longer being used in an article (or some other such nonsense) and it's going to be promptly deleted. Utterly wasted time and effort... one of the supreme joys of Wikipedia. So to minimize such annoyances, I tend to stick with totally free Commons images. While the occasional instance of a commons file (along with my time & effort) ends up in the delete bin, the instances are much fewer and farther between. And while I don't have a lot of spare time, at least I know that the time I *do* volunteer won't be wasted by bots and overzealous Wikipedians. ✅ JBarta (talk) 17:55, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Rather than attempt to work with what little background there was in the original photo, I opted to completly change the background to something neutral. Seems to look Ok.

Oval crop over white background
Article(s): many Request: Oval crop over white background... KAVEBEAR (talk) 05:46, 24 September 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):
 * ✅ all but one (not sure it is worth cropping - might get reverted on that, the frame might be essential). Materialscientist (talk) 08:10, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Queen Teriitaria and Pomare III
Article(s): Pōmare III, List of monarchs of Tahiti Request: Please make two images. One a clean up version that cleans up the corner and the blemishes on the drawing and the other one a crop isolating the little boy in the picture. Please name them like the links above. Thanks. KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:55, 25 September 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):
 * ✅. Cleaned up. Someone already made a crop, thus I hesitate overwriting it. Materialscientist (talk) 07:39, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Could you make a closer crop, just upload over it.
 * Tried. Materialscientist (talk) 00:13, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Ayu Utami
Article(s): 1st: Ayu Utami 2nd: Saman (novel) (also DYK) Request: Please remove the other person from the first image and clean up the noise. The crop just needs the noise cleaned up (preferably first, as it is part of an ongoing DYK nomination) Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:43, 25 September 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):
 * ✅ something, perhaps not exactly what you asked. Don't know how to recreate the left hand without additional photos. Materialscientist (talk) 07:01, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The crop seems a little blurrier (I had previously downsampled to get rid of some of the noise) Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:42, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It is blurrier, and this is all about setting the acceptable noise level. Materialscientist (talk) 07:56, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I'll downsample again to make the blurriness less readily apparent. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:04, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Bronagh Waugh, Nico Mirallegro, Emma Rigby, Jorgie Porter, Carley Stenson
Article(s): Bronagh Waugh, Nico Mirallegro, Emma Rigby, Jorgie Porter, Carley Stenson Request: Here are five new images of British actors, pictured with the same girl. Please can you do a crop for each of these so that "the fan" (Brown hair and glasses) is no longer featured in the image. Obviously some are close to her face and low resolution, but could you make them good fits as possible to their blp infoboxes? I'm not sure if anyone here can move images so that "with a fan" is no longer in the image title - now that would be a bonus. Rain the One  BAM 18:15, 25 September 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

I took the easy ones (the first four). The fifth will either have to wait, or someone else can give it a crack. Regarding image renaming, the original image is actually "with a fan", so I say leave them as they are. JBarta (talk) 21:06, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Did the fifth (Carley Stenson), though trying to completely edit out the fan wasn't giving a satisfactory result and I didn't want to spend excessive time trying. Hopefully a simple crop does the trick for you. Seems ok to me. JBarta (talk) 10:11, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thankyou for doing them Jbarta, they are perfect. :) Rain the One  BAM 12:40, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Signature
Article(s): Francisco Solano López Request: Please create a ".png" version of the signature of Francisco Solano López (left) with a translucid background as in the picture to the right. Thank you very much, Lecen (talk) 02:34, 26 September 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Thank you! --Lecen (talk) 11:58, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Karen Hassan
Article(s): Karen Hassan Request: Could this image of British actress Karen Hassan be cropped as to not include the fan (Girl with brown hair and glasses in the crowd) and as good a fit as possible for the blp infobox. Thanks D4nnyw14 (talk) 15:19, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

✅: JBarta (talk) 18:45, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks that's perfect D4nnyw14 (talk) 18:52, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

New Zealand Mayor
Article(s): James Clark (New Zealand), DYK Request: Please cut out the frame, keeping only the oval portrait. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:37, 27 September 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

✅: JBarta (talk) 12:20, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Could we use transparency instead of white? I have a thing against big white spaces on the blue DYK background, and the computer I'm on only has Paint. Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:58, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * jpeg doesn't support transparency; png does, but wikimedia software renders png files significantly less sharp than jpg (in a 100x100px thumb). Materialscientist (talk) 13:08, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * How does it handle gif or tiff? Both support transparency, and Photoshop can handle both (GIMP too, probably). Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:18, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not a big fan of PNG for photographic type images, however, I can create a smaller PNG version with transparency for use in your DYK effort if you wish. JBarta (talk) 13:33, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * An alternative is to use something like the right image (it can be tweaked, but I've got to go offline). Materialscientist (talk) 13:43, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Excellent solution. JBarta (talk) 13:46, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Fantastic. Thanks. Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:49, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
