Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Photography workshop
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.

Graphists and other visitors to the Graphics Lab may be interested in the RSS feed of changes to this page. You may find it here. |
Graphists, if you have completed work and have not received a reply from the requester, you may place the {{GL Photography reply}} template on their talk page. |
If you are looking for something to do, there are plenty of images with watermarks to be removed and files that need cleanup. See also our sister Photography workshop at Commons |
Would this trim down OK to single items?

Illustration of 14 different land snail species
Article(s): Semilimax pyrenaicus and possibly all 13 of the other snail species?
Request: It would be great to have at least Figure 1 as a separate image all by itself, if there is actually enough resolution to make that workable. Actually every one of these species would be nice to have cropped as separate images. Is that doable? If so I could give you the up-to-date names of the snail articles that each of the other 13 images would go to. Invertzoo (talk) 20:13, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
These are the modern names of the 14 species shown, all of which have articles and almost all of which need a good image: 1. Semilimax pyrenaicus 2. Vitrina pellucida 3. Oxychilus draparnaudi 4. Perpolita hammonis 5. Oxychilus cellarius 6. also Oxychilus cellarius 7. Oxychilus navarricus subspecies helveticus 8. Retinella nitidula 9. Oxychilus alliarius 10. Aegopinella pura 11. Zonitoides excavatus 12. Vitrea crystallina 13. Euconulus fulvus 14. Zonitoides nitidus
- By the way... another image of this same beautiful plate is shown here and it demonstrates the colors far better. Can our image be tweaked to show the colors in a similar way? A little less dark and with a little more blue showing? Invertzoo (talk) 16:15, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

File:Charles I. D. Looff.jpg Non-free image of Looff

Request: Please remove white border and library logo. Thanks, -- Dianna (talk) 22:47, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
- A non-graphic opinion: Since the subject died in 1918, the photograph was clearly taken before January 1, 1923, and is thus considered public domain in the United States (where it appears the photo was taken). I'd recommend switching the permissions to public domain to make wider use possible. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:59, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- That's not quite how the law is worded. That's only if the image was published before 1923. We have no proof that the image was published before that date, only that it was created before that date. The rule for photographs is that it is the death of the photographer plus 100 years, so that is why we have to assume it is still under copyright. -- Dianna (talk) 02:47, 9 September 2012 (UTC) Actually, thinking this through, if the fellow died in 1918 it's pretty much mathematically impossible for the photographer to be alive, so I am changing it to PD-old. -- Dianna (talk) 02:57, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
Done - Image cropped and cleaned up a little. – JBarta (talk) 08:40, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
Catalonia
Article(s): Catalonia
Request: trim away extra flooring. if you have time, please make a second one, PNG, rotated, all back trimmed away. thanks. Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 09:58, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
- I note that the caption to this image at 2012 Catalan independence demonstration reads 'One of the green cards handed out to attendees'. But the photograph is clearly of a page from a magazine - not a card at all. I hope the reason for your request to trim the edges is not that you hope to pass this off as a genuine picture of the card! That would be a little unethical, wouldn't it? Maybe a better option for you would be to amend the caption to say "A reproduction of one the green cards handed out to attendees, as printed in <name of magazine> on <date>. What do you think?

Request: If possible, please remove the object at the bottom-left of the photo that's obscuring Sandusky's jacket. Thanks! Delaywaves • talk 20:00, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
I gave the photo a better (tighter) crop which also has the effect of largely eliminating the offending object. – JBarta (talk) 08:33, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Need special work
Article(s): Asa and Lucy Goodale Thurston, Persis Goodale Thurston Taylor
Request: Please turn these images black and white, denoise and clean up... KAVEBEAR (talk) 22:20, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Saturated first three images and slightly removed the noise and copped the unnecessary parts. The first one actually came up really bad, cause you can see the repetitive copy pastes on the upper left corner. --Երևանցի ասելիք կա՞ 04:18, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
- On the fourth image removed the periodic noise (by FFT) and performed some cleaning.--GianniG46 (talk) 16:16, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
- Could you turn the fourth one black and white to see which color is better?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 20:24, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
- Great job on two, three, and four. But the first one isn't so good. Is it possible to redo the problematic upper left corner that you noted. I was only looking for the color lines and noises to be removed, so the original background could be retained.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 20:24, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
- Could you turn the fourth one black and white to see which color is better?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 20:24, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry, I was not able to upload the b&w version of Kawaihae Bay as a derivative file, because DerivativeFX tells me "License of this file: No valid license found!". Does anyone know why? I don't want to overwrite the file, because I think the color version is better. --GianniG46 (talk) 07:37, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
- On the fourth image removed the periodic noise (by FFT) and performed some cleaning.--GianniG46 (talk) 16:16, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
