Faded 1918 newspaper photograph of military officers


Can anything be done to improve this faded, 1918 newspaper photograph? For an example in context, see Philippe Petain. It seems dark, faded, and muddy. I'll leave it to your judgement what constitutes "improvement", but probably more contrasty, and maybe lighter, maybe sharper (is that even possible?) One thing I notice, is that Pétain image (left) seems noticeably lighter than the others, so not sure if parts of the image can be brightened or recontrasted more than other parts, but it seems like a slightly different treatment might be needed for Pétain than for the others. Thanks in advance, Mathglot (talk) 22:29, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Ramanujan needs a better photo

 * Discussion:

Hello, I'm really not impressed with the primary photo for the Ramanujan article. It is currently a bilinear upscale of a really compressed scan with some attempts at color correction.

I have contacted some people via email that may be able to locate the source of the image, which could hopefully provide us with a better scan. In the meantime, does anyone want to take a crack at fixing it (within reason, of course)? I pulled the original upload, tweaked the color curve and did a very mild selective Gaussian blur in GIMP to at least reduce the really bad artifacts (noticeable around the subject's left eye).

Personally I'm more of a fan of the other picture available on commons File:Srinivasa Ramanujan - OPC - 2.jpg. It's a tighter shot, so has more detail, and I think we can clean it up quite nicely, at least enough to be used as a portrait picture for the infobox. Auguel (talk) 23:16, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

There is only so much that can be done with this image, so dont expect too much. Would you like me to upload it over yours, or would you like it as another file? Additionally, I am rather keen to proposition -- for me, at least, that is the Ramanujan image. – Pbrks (t • c) 23:28, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * go ahead and upload over it if you think its better. I am absolutely in favor of replacing the image if consensus here is that its a better option  Spurrious Correlation  04:57, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

I went ahead and did the clean-up of the other photo. You can decide which is more appropriate. Auguel (talk) 00:03, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you, this looks much better. At least until I can get a higher-resolution scan, I will swap out usage of the other photo with this one.  Spurrious Correlation  05:04, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Well, nonetheless, I've uploaded the other file. I hope you are able to find a high-res version! – Pbrks (t • c) 05:41, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

I once heard something about downloading the direct link?... Not sure how to do that though. My current method is a) making a screenshot at b) drop every individual image into Paint 3) convert the file to jpg. However, not only is this method extremely time consuming, it also completely messes up the resolution of the images based on my experience. - LouisAragon (talk) 01:27, 16 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Discussion:
 * The way I do it is the following:
 * On the webpage, click on the image, and use their tool to zoom in as much as possible.
 * Open up the developer tools for Chrome (ctrl+shift+j)
 * Click on the "Sources" tab at the top.
 * Find the highest resolution of the image you are looking for from the files listed. Open it in a new tab by right-clicking on it.
 * Let me know if this helps. If not, I can maybe clarify a step better. If done correctly, on the first file you listed, you should find this. – Pbrks (t • c) 03:59, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
