St. Michael's Catholic Church
Article(s): St. Patrick's Catholic Church (St. Patrick, Ohio)
Request: I believe that I'm using this image properly under fair use; if so, is it permissible to join the two images and treat the combined image as nonfree? As you can see at the article, one is below the other; I'd prefer to have the two images converted into a single image that shows the two churches side-by-side. By the way, if you don't believe it to be permissible, could you help me figure out the coding for showing the two separate files side-by-side? Nyttend (talk) 05:29, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
- Making these two images into one would be a bad idea simply due to the fact that there is a drastic difference in dimensions, and you would have to diminish the quality of one of the images to make it symmetrical. -CamT|C 05:46, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
- So it would be a bad idea to have a version of St. Michael's that is 135px high, the same height as the photo of St. Patrick's? Since the point of my proposed image is to compare the churches — can't imagine what else could legitimately be done with this nonfree image — I don't see why my proposal wouldn't be useful. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough: I'm not proposing that you upload a new version of the original of St. Michael's; all I'm suggesting is that you download both images, reduce the one of St. Michael's to the height of the one of St. Patrick's, create a horizontal montage of the two images, and upload. Nyttend (talk) 06:24, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
- We're talking about image quality here. The problem with reducing the larger image is that it will loose it's quality by being reduced. My best suggestion is finding another image of the smaller one that is larger. -CamT|C 16:51, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
- Due to the ability to resize thumbnails, we generally discourage collage images (see the infobox collage at Armenians, where there are 6 individual images). Furthermore, this would be a bit confusing on the licensing front, because the old church image is non-free. I think a coding solution to your issue would be better than making a collage, and then having to delete the original (as we cannot have multiple copies of non-free content where one should suffice).-Andrew c [talk] 18:02, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
- As Andrew c said – no image montage should be necessary in a case like this (and should generally avoided anyway). Use the template {{multiple image}} to display these two next to each other. —Quibik (talk) 18:11, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Tried the Fourier analysis; converted to black and white; removed some dirt. —ZeroOne
Article(s): Peter Hardeman Burnett
Request: Remove noise, convert to black and white. Please upload it under a new file, however. Thank you. Connormah (talk | contribs) 02:42, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
The best time to do this would have been before the crop as to get rid of noise the best way is to use a median filter. Unfortunately that blurs the image and removes detail so you have to sharpen it afterwards to try to get some of the detail back, without,of course, bringing the noise back with it. So the more resolution one has to play with the better. I've downloaded the original pre-cropped version. It's 3am here so I'll leave it for tomorrow unless someone else wants to have a go before I check in tomorrow (today).--Fred the Oyster (talk) 02:55, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- I've uploaded a demo of noise reduction using the median filter, it is subtle but if you look at the eyes you'll see the difference. Personally I prefer the original half-tone noise as it's more natural to the eye. I did take the liberty of cleaning up the stain/crease on the lower right, as well so some other dirt spots. All of these things are un-doable as I used different layers for each stage and used a 16bit version in Lab mode. Which version do you prefer?--Fred the Oyster (talk) 21:28, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- Incidentally, it's much lighter than the Commons version as the original image had a greyscale calibration bar so I was able to get it close to how it should be. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 21:29, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- May I suggest using Fourier analysis for this task? It will remove most of the interference patterns while preserving the details. (Less-than-perfect JPEG quality will lessen the effectiveness of the method a bit in this case). If you haven't tried this before, Fred, then I recommend giving it a shot; it's a very powerful tool to own, if you're into image restoration! —Quibik (talk) 22:16, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. I didn't know about the FFT filter (which unfortunately doesn't work on a Mac), I have used Colormancer Boundary Noise Reduction filter in the past for the same thing. But if I were doing this restoration for a paying client or for archival purposes I wouldn't use either filter. They're far too drastic. I'm old school, and work on the premise that when restoring the whole idea is to alter as few pixels as possible. Anything more isn't "restoration" but "alteration". It's fine to remove stuff like dirt, scratches, stains, crease etc as they weren't there when the image was created, and of course colour correction. Removing half-tone print patterns is a no-no as far as I'm concerned as that is an original part of the image and is a far too drastic alteration. For me, restoration is the act of getting as close to the original as possible. This is part of the reason I haven't taken part in the Commons restoration projects, apart from it being a 'busman's holiday', I don't agree with the way a lot of it is done. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 10:39, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I took a shot at the photo, too. Thanks for the Fourier analysis tip, Quibik! It's almost like magic, like those CSI techniques. ;) Obviously I'm not too good at it as this was the first time I even heard about it but I think it did improve the photo. In addition I did some cloning and healing with Photoshop. Anyone feel free to upload a new version of the photo over my version if you can make it even better. Do use the original version as a starting point, though. —ZeroOne (talk / @) 16:18, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Request: Is there any way to depixellate this? Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 13:16, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): I've had a go at reducing the noise pixelation, if anyone else can achieve a better result, go for it. Fallschirmjäger 11:30, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- That's a great job. You're never going to get rid of it entirely as it's not pixellation, it's the results of dithering a full tone image down to 16 shades of grey or so. I suppose messing around with median or FFT filtering might be more successful but it's so low resolution with hardly any pixels to work with I doubt anyone could get it much better. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 14:08, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

- Since when were book covers meant to be viewed at a 45 degree angle? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 02:13, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
- Since never. This is a paperback book with an image of a hardcover book on the cover. The image on the cover of the book is slanted. As you can see at the four URLs I gave, that is what the actual book looks like. --Geniac (talk)
- Then the full cover should be shown. This wasn't the case and gave no context to the slanted book image. The image needs to be re-uploaded with the edges of the paperback visible. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 02:48, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

- I've reverted. Simple mistake. I'm sure if we had a border on this image to represent the edge of the paperback, someone would ask us to crop off the border :P. -Andrew c [talk] 16:50, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
- That's a common error. Fred's use of "edge" versus "border" is correct. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 03:40, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Request: trim to oval as you did with an earlier request... Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 12:39, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):It may be best to use the original jpeg. This is a ridiculous use of svg and should be a greyscale png. The original jpg was 19k, this svg is overly complex and weighs in at 847k. The trace isn't particularly good either. The uploader has simply done an autotrace and uploaded the result with no additional editing. And yup, my blood sugar is low :) --Fred the Oyster (talk) 23:55, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Request: Could someone please take this picture and edit the levels/curves etc. to correct the white balance and make the image look more presentable? Thanks.

Request: (No idea if this is possible, if not, please speedy decline) Do something about the reflection. Cybercobra (talk) 09:12, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): I wouldn't say it was completely impossible but I don't think all of it could be gotten rid of. Even so it would require a lot of work and changes to the original image. The most difficult part of the reflection to remove would be the group of boys on the right hand side, even if some of the reflection was removed it would looks strange if only some parts of it remained, perhaps its best to leave it as it is. Fallschirmjäger 09:55, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
- I agree. It would take a lot of work, would not be perfect and would ultimately degrade an already sub-par photograph. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 10:00, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for having a look anyways. --Cybercobra (talk) 15:47, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): Done: I've adjusted the image, see above, however it wasn't uploaded to commons as book covers, even a photograph of them, are still subject to copyright held by the publisher/author and therefore can't be in the public domain. Fallschirmjäger ✉ 08:01, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- A photograph of a book published in Soviet Russia in 1960 is not public domain? Anyway, thanks. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 08:54, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- Unfortunately no, Russian copyrights expire 70 years after the death of the author, only items by authors who died prior to 1953 are in the public domain. See WP:C. Fallschirmjäger ✉ 16:57, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
