Graphics Lab/Photography workshop

Shortcuts

The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps.
This specific page is the requests page for the photography workshop. Anyone can make a request for a photograph to be improved for a Wikipedia article. The standard format for making a request is shown below, along with general advice, and should be followed.

Advice to requesters

All requests:

Please make sure your request is "legitimate" by copyright. If the image(s) are in the public domain or freely licensed, you are fine. If the image(s) are "Fair use", there are only certain things we can do with them without falling afoul of Wikipedia's fair-use policies.
- If you are requesting assistance with a copyright or fair-use image, don't display it on this page; place {{GLNF|Example.png|caption|align=left}} to create a link to it. Do not add the File: extension. Our fair-use policy does not allow displaying fair-use images out of their articles on ANY account.
Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed.
If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.

SVG requests:

Make sure your request can actually BE vectorized. Note that vector drawings are not suitable for certain applications. We generally use SVG format for icons, logos, drawings, maps, flags, and such. Certain things, photographs especially, are totally impossible to vectorize.
Per our non-free content policy, vectorization of copyrighted images is not permitted. If a vectorized non-free image is desired, seek out such an image from the copyright holder.

For graphists:

Haakon VII of Norway

Article(s): Haakon VII of Norway

Request: Clean up, adjust contrast. Vearthy (talk) 17:03, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Done Hope this is okay. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 20:02, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's good, thanks but I don't like the face as it looks now. It's a bit too blurry with those unneeded dots. Vearthy (talk) 20:18, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the spots. What do you think? – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 23:14, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Compared to the original photo, left side of the man's face is brighter while the right side is nearly as dark. Vearthy (talk) 19:56, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The face is now the same brightness as the original. I didn't want to lighten the shadows and keep the highlights the same level, that would ruin the contrast. What do you think? – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 21:00, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Another simple crop request

Aerial view of the kame

Article(s): Zimmerman Kame, although not in use there yet

Request: The bottom right corner of this image shows part of the wing of the aircraft in which I was flying when I took the photograph. Could you please crop enough of the right side of the photo to get rid of it? Moreover, could you crop out some of the top? The subject of the photo is the kame that's slightly off-center to the bottom left; I'd appreciate it if you could crop the image so that it shows only the area highlighted in the image note plus a buffer zone around the image note. Please upload it under the same filename. Nyttend (talk) 14:29, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Cenk Uygur image needs logo-washing and shadow work

Cenk at the Streamy Awards

Article(s): Cenk Uygur

Request: I think this nice image could be either cropped or filled in some of the background to reduce the corporate presence. Also, perhaps a little shadow work could even out the lighting. Thanks very much. Ocaasi ^c 22:26, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I took a shot at it here: File:Cenk_Uygur_at_Streamys_cropped.jpg. It's pretty basic but maybe works.

Graphist opinion(s):

Want a 2π-unrolled version of our existing π-unrolled animation

Resolved

– Resolved, unless of course if the illustration project sends me back here :-) Kingdon (talk)

Image of π being unrolled

Article(s): Radian, Turn (geometry), Perimeter and Circumference

Request: This is a great animation, and this is a request for a (relatively minor) variant of it. The current version shows a circle of diameter one whose circumference is π. In many contexts it would be nice to have a version where the circle has radius one instead (diameter two) and a circumference of 2π. I'd be glad to take this to Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Illustration workshop if desired, but I thought I'd start here since this is a raster image (and as far as I know, we don't have support yet for any form of animated SVG). The new image would not replace the existing one but would have a new name (Twopi-unrolled.gif, I suppose, unless someone has a better idea). Discussion of the mathematics is at File talk:Pi-unrolled-720.gif#Radians and WT:MATH has been consulted (on 23 April 2011). Kingdon (talk) 01:32, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is definitely an illustration request. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 09:26, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Kalakaua

Article(s): Kalākaua

Request: Please remove scratches and improve quality. Thanks.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:56, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by King of Hearts. Done

Dan Towler

Article(s): Dan Towler

Request: Would someone please edit out the signature in this fair use image? Cross posted at Commons:Commons:Graphic_Lab/Photography_workshop#Old_football_picture_for_Dan_Towler. GrapedApe (talk) 02:20, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

RAAF Sabres

RAAF Sabre Mk32s in Thailand, early 1960s.

Article(s): Southeast Asia Treaty Organization and others

Request: Could one of the magicians in here please increase the clarity of this image? Thanks! Guoguo12 --Talk-- 21:49, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by King of Hearts. Done

Einsteinium

Einsteinium

Article(s): Einsteinium

Request: Please rotate the einsteinium image to fit the einsteinium infobox (similar to File:Protactinium.jpg) Lanthanum-138 (talk) 08:29, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also crop out the unessential stuff at the top. Lanthanum-138 (talk) 07:02, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mean to be presumptuous, but that's an image of a vial (as explained in the description), so it's supposed to be upright. The image fits the infobox fine. Images don't have to be horizontal for infoboxes. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 07:38, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
