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.

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.

neutralize background... -- Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 06:47, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): Done (Vectorization quite unnecessary) Centpacrr (talk) 20:08, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

I just think it would be better if this was just vectorised instead. --109.78.207.144 (talk) 17:58, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Centpacrr, this isn't the first time that you've left a background with a slightly pinkish hue. Either get your monitor properly calibrated, as has been suggested to you on several occasions, get a new monitor, or get your eyes tested! nagualdesign (talk) 23:48, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

This is intended to have an even beige background closely matching the paper it was derived from. Your version id filled with yellow blotches. Centpacrr (talk) 00:23, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps you should clean out your cache? My version was not 'filled with yellow blotches', it was greyscale! The reason I re-did the job from scratch was to preserve the details that had been lost in your edit. nagualdesign (talk) 00:30, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

It's not my cache. Look at the comment of the OP below which says "Can you fix the one above, which still has big chunks of yellow?" That's exactly what I saw too. When opened in Photoshop the mode of your version is NOT a "greyscale" file, it is an "RGB, 24 Bit, 8 Bit Padding, 16.7 million colors" file. Centpacrr (talk) 00:37, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Kintetsubuffalo needs to clean out his/her cache too. Look at my edit. The evidence is there. And I'm fully aware of what filetypes are being used here, thanks. An RGB file can be desaturated (converted to greyscale) without converting the filetype. Again with the silly excuses. nagualdesign (talk) 00:51, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

There it is, got it, thx.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 00:55, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

No worries. For future reference, to compare different versions of an image it's best to open each version in a different tab using the thumbs in the File history section, then refresh the tab that should be showing the latest version. You can then flip between tabs for a proper pixel peeping session. Regards, nagualdesign (talk) 01:03, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Kintetubuffalo, I have converted both files to ACTUAL grayscale images and uploaded them. I also cleaned my cache and then redownloaded Nagualdesign's version of the crest and it is still filled with yellow blotches as you saw as well that were different from the original file. The color I had "introduced" was to as closely as I could match the base backgound color of the original files. Centpacrr (talk) 01:11, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps it's time you went to bed, Centpacrr. Maybe tomorrow, when your local Wiki server is re-cached (an issue which you're well aware of), you might be able to see my edit. Then I'd invite you to compare it to your latest version and see if you notice the loss of detail. (Hint: look at the cross hatching.) I don't expect that you'll concede though, and revert your own edit. Ownership appears to be your modus operandi around here. Night night. nagualdesign (talk) 01:38, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry, Nagualdesign, but your edit still displays with multiple yellow blotches, but I'm not going to argue with you over this anymore. As you suggested I have done a Photoshop eyedropper test on exactly how it appears on its host page and color checked the blotches in Photoshop. It shows the yellow blotches on your edit with the following color values: H: 63º, S: 7%, B: 99%, R: 252, G: 252, B: 235, L: 99, a: -3, b: 9, C: 1%, M: 0%, Y: 8%, K: 0%, Color code #fcfdeb. (If it were pure white as you claim the values would be H: 0º, S: 0%, B: 100%, R: 255, G: 255, B: 255, L: 100, a: 0, b: 0, C: 0%, M: 0%, Y: 0%, K: 0%, Color code #ffffff.) I have uploaded a screen capture of the test here so that you can see for yourself. If the OP is satisfied with the image with the yellow blotches then so be it. If he isn't, however, you can either redo it as a grayscale file for him or he can revert to my existing grayscale edit. It is up to him as I do not intend to make any further edits of this image. Centpacrr (talk) 16:20, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I think you're pulling the wool over your own eyes here, Scoop. I promise you, hand on heart, that it's a cache issue. I've triple checked it, and it's fine. Just as advertised. If you're receiving the wrong image then obviously it will be wrong however you look at it. All you've confirmed, by opening it up in Photoshop, is that the image you do have has yellow blotches on it, n'est pas? If I'd messed up I'd hold my hand up. Perhaps Kintetsubuffalo will be kind enough to confirm the upload for you? There's nothing more I can do. nagualdesign (talk) 02:06, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Well I didn't create the image under discussion, and it is not the original image. As you are the only other individual to have uploaded a version of this image that leaves only you. The file history also says it is yours, and the OP is the one who originally pointed it out the yellow blotches, not me. I tested it using the Photoshop method you requested me to use, have visited the page on this machine (a 2011 Apple MacBook Pro) using three additional browsers besides Firefox (Safari, Chrome and Opera), and then visited the page on another computer (a 2009 Apple MacBook) which had never visited it before using the same four different browsers and got exactly the same result in all eight visits: an image with yellow blotches.

Perhaps you are not seeing the blotches because whatever type of monitor you are using is not responsive enough or is set too high. The blotches are also much more pronounced when viewed at an oblique angle (at least on an LCD type display) so try looking at the image that way. However when they appear to the naked eye on four different browsers on two different, unrelated machines, and the blotches are also objectively demonstrable using the Photoshop eyedropper test you suggested, I am left with absolutely no other possible conclusion that the blotches in fact exist in the image file you created and uploaded, and are not a "cache" issue because they do not appear in this form in any other version of this image. This is not a case my "pulling the wool over my eyes" but of subjecting the image file to every objective test I can come up with in order to eliminate every other possible explanation. They all point, however, to just one thing: the image file you uploaded in fact has the yellow blotches and that it is not a cache issue either in my two different machines or in Wikipedia's servers. The ball is thus in your court to prove otherwise. (Also "Scoop" is not a name I ever use in here or anyplace else other than in the world of professional ice hockey in which I have worked for 43 years.) Centpacrr (talk) 05:20, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

It's okay Scoop, I'm just winding you up. There was some horrible jpg compression on my upload, and I've been having a good ol' giggle at your expense. It's because I find you so belligerent at times (pretty much whenever anyone tries to discuss anything with you) that when you gave me all the usual bullshit excuses for leaving your edit with a pink background I thought I'd treat you in kind for a while, and see how tightly I could get your panties bunched up. My latest upload was converted to Greyscale mode and saved at 100%, although as a jpeg it'll still open as an RGB of course. Well it was fun having the shoe on my foot for a while. I can see why you might like being so contrary all of the time. Merry Chrismas, Mister Cooper. nagualdesign (talk) 05:38, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

• Well I am pleased to see that you now apparently agree that the blotches actually do exist in your previous file as I had proved above and now acknowledge this by having made a new grayscale file (as I had previously suggested) which you uploaded exactly one minute before I posted the above comment. It really would have been helpful, however, if you had just done that in the first place. Centpacrr (talk) 05:27, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes it would rather. (Hmm.. helpful.. Now there's a thought!) nagualdesign (talk) 05:40, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Well I guess I am supposed to be pleased that I supplied you with a way to entertain yourself at both my and the OP's expense. While that is not why I contribute to Wikipedia, I will take that into account and try to avoid that in the future. Centpacrr (talk) 05:50, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

What I've done here was thoroughly childish. Thankfully I'm aware of that, and it won't continue. I normally try very hard to treat others as I would like to be treated. If I make mistakes and have them pointed out to me I appreciate it, especially if I learn something new in the process, so I often point out other people's mistakes too. I don't have much time for egos, especially my own, (they only get in the way) and that can grate on some people. Thankfully I'm aware of that too, and out of kindness I keep grating. Did we learn anything? I'm f***ed if I know. Peace. nagualdesign (talk) 06:16, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes that was certainly childish and unhelpful, but I will take you at your word that you have gotten this out of your system and will not engage in this sort of unproductive behavior with me or any other contributors again. Centpacrr (talk) 22:11, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Hair on the lens

• 
• 
  Cropped version,
  for the infobox.

Article(s): Rene Auberjonois

Request: There appears to have been a hair on the camera lens, which is now showing up on the subject's collar. Could this be removed? Thanks! J Milburn (talk) 17:40, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):  Done Centpacrr (talk) 20:15, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks; I appreciate that a slight lightening may be a good thing, but I think you've gone too far; it now looks incredibly washed-out. J Milburn (talk) 20:23, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

I've darkened it a bit and increased the saturation. I think making it much darken than this, however, would make it essentially unusable for for an infobox image. Centpacrr (talk) 20:55, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

*Sigh* Here we go again.. Not content to leave an image alone you (Centpacrr) did your usual agma adjustment, which left it looking worse. You were gently admonished by the uploader for your unnecessary meddling, so you took your crappy edit (instead of starting from scratch) and darkened it. You discovered in the process that lightening the image too much, uploading it, then attempting to darken it again had messed the colour up, so you fiddled with the saturation to try and fix it, because you couldn't be bothered re-doing the hard part again, which was removing the hair. That about right? (You don't have to answer that. I know that in your many years of pissing around with images you've developed 'a number of proprietary techniques' that you don't wish to share.) Well, here's a tip for you, free of charge: Caucasian skin should not look orange with green fringes, and grey hair should not look yellow.

So anyway, I did the job as you'd requested, J Milburn, and uploaded it. (See the File history.) You may wish to revert to that edit. Then I did a little subtle lightening, being careful to preserve the photograph, and uploaded that. Again, if you like that edit then feel free to revert to that. And don't worry, being the original uploader and requestor should keep Centpacrr from starting a revert battle with you. He listens to requestors most of the time (even the ones that make naïve, flawed requests - which you didn't). He does have a point in that photographic portraits on Wikipedia don't usually have artistic vignetting, but it's still a good quality photograph just as it is. Or should I say was. nagualdesign (talk) 03:56, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Nagualdesign I can really do without both the condescension and amateur psychiatry. You've made a version so dark (and the skin tome unnaturally pinkish) as to be virtually useless as an infobox image. Why don't you check the calibration of your monitor? (Mine is set to Apple Color LCD (LED) gamma of 2.2.) I'll leave this up to the OP to decide what he/she likes and leave it at that. No further comments from you directed at me are necessary in this matter. Centpacrr (talk) 04:48, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm right though, aren't I? Go on, admit it, you big girl's blouse! *tickles Centpacrr into submission* ..Seriously though; I didn't take the photograph. I didn't make it dark, I lightened it. And I didn't do anything to the colour. You're kinda right about the infobox though (see below). The problem is that one cannot undo a vignette. nagualdesign (talk) 05:41, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Soo.. I had an idea to get around the infobox issue that Centpacrr raised. Although I don't think the exposure is the issue. (I won't bore you with the technical details as to what constitutes good exposure.) The issue, I think, is that the vignette makes the whole image look dark, even though the face is fine. So I took my second edit ("Subtly lightened.") and made a tight crop. Try it in the infobox and see how it looks. Hope that helps. Regards, nagualdesign (talk) 05:41, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I have carefully reworked this image from the original. Colour balanced so that hair is grey, pupil of eye is black, shadows aren't bright red, skin tone is natural, details remain in highlights. (Hohum ^@) 17:05, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

A bit better, colour-wise, but he looks a little ashen and the hair is still there. nagualdesign (talk) 17:40, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

I removed a hair higher on his collar which looked like a print issue, the lower hair seems to come from his chest, so I have left it. (Hohum ^@) 00:19, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

 Done multiple changes, including rotation. FYI, there's no such thing as lossless image rotation, only good and bad algorithms (and of course sloppy and careful execution). Generally speaking, rotation causes loss of acutance/blurring, which can be remedied via careful sharpening. Hope that helps. Regards, nagualdesign (talk) 07:34, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

From this image? I think the individuals are a little too small for any crops to be useful. Sorry. Perhaps you could use the whole image, and copy the text that was cropped (from the original) into the file page description, so everyone can see who's who, then on the thumbnail you could use the caption, "Back row, 3rd from left", or whatever. nagualdesign (talk) 04:20, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Request:

Could someone possibly improve the quality of the above portrait (Maximilian I), to look like this one please, many thanks. TRAJAN 117 (talk) 16:31, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Please also improve the quality of Charles VII,s portrait as well, many thanks. TRAJAN 117 (talk) 17:17, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

I made an attempt to adjust Maximilian I. In all honesty I'm not really happy with it. Although the image is larger, it has less tonal detail than the smaller image, particularly in the shadows. Attempting to match the two left the blacks looking milky. Perhaps someone else will have more success. Failing that, I'd suggest ignoring the smaller image and giving free rein to improve the image in whatever way possible. nagualdesign (talk) 17:31, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Note: Download the original upload (6.73MB) before editing!

Unless you have some reliable evidence that these two images do NOT accurately reflect what these two paintings look like I think the best choice is to do nothing to them at all as any changes may result in a material misrepresentation of the original artworks. Centpacrr (talk) 23:34, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Well, they can't both be accurate can they. One or both of them are definitely wrong, right? nagualdesign (talk) 17:43, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

I would revert the current images of both portraits to the original uploads, but I am not the OP so it is not my call. What this section asks for is "Graphist opinion(s)" and so that what this is. Sorry if it was not made clear enough to anyone that what I meant by doing "nothing at all" was to use the original files. Centpacrr (talk) 19:20, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): The noise you are talking about is really just the grain of the film and only really visible at full resolution. I've softened the background just a bit but left the face and hands alone to retain detail. I don't think it really needs anything else as the grain is not even really noticeable at normal web viewing size in the article. This to me is a case where "less is more".

HMS Phoebe (43)

Article: HMS Phoebe (43)

The picture of this ship arriving in Valetta, Malta, (at the beginning of the article), is marked in the summary as '1949', but in the Comment box '1939'.
Which is the correct year? The ship's article picture caption states her arriving, but it doesn't say when.

Clicking on the image only gives a talk page which says: "There are many things this page is NOT for"... one of them is:
"Requesting corrections to the image (try the talk page of an article that the image is used in, or contact the graphics lab.)"

So I've come here. RASAM (talk) 22:11, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

This image is in bad conditions. I tried with YCbCr (G'MIC plugin for GIMP) and magenta/red desaturation, but I couldn't remove vignetting and the colours became faded and innatural. Could yopu help me resore it? Thanks in advance.--Carnby (talk) 15:01, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

 Comment: I think the effect is intentionally caused by graphic manipulation outside the camera, which makes it difficult / impossible to fix. I have tried to improve it, but it's still a poor image and haven't bothered to upload it. If you wanted to use it in the Toyota Hilux article, I suggest finding a better image.

Graphist opinion(s):

Just a moment: the watermark says the image is copyrighted. While the image itself cannot be copyrighted, that particular reproduction can be copyrighted, and therefore should be deleted from Commons. Please ask Village pump/Copyright before any request.--Carnby (talk) 19:44, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

It's dated c. 1590-1640 and how can that be copyrighted? Jaqeli (talk) 20:11, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Because it was scanned by the Vatican archive. The watermark explicitly says that reproduction is copyrighted.--Carnby (talk) 21:56, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

What about the other picture which I changed to? Can you oval crop it then and give it the colour as described above? Jaqeli (talk) 22:44, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

 Done--Carnby (talk) 00:21, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Wait, you are aware of {{PD-Art}}? Go have a read of that; you're telling people misinformation about policy. You literally cannot claim copyright on a 2-dimensional image's reproduction in the U.S., and, for good or ill, Wikipedia has extended that to all files. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 03:06, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Anyway, that said, that watermark covers some complicated detail in the clothing - I wouldn't want to try to restore that much of the picture, but it's the principle that matters. Also, what's with the fad on here for taking a nice, rectangular historical image that contains a little text and turning it into an oval crop that no longer looks like an image from the period it's from? Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 03:14, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

@Adam Cuerden: I admit I'm not sure about policies regarding non copyrightable images watermarked with a clear copyright symbol; I will ask Village pump/Copyright; If they say it's all right I will crop the image and send apologies to Jaqeli for my mistake.--Carnby (talk) 07:59, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Not a problem, just, you know, it's something to be aware of, as otherwise a lot of confusion arises. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 13:25, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

@Adam Cuerden: As far as the crop asked here is concerned, I think the user wants a set of historical images with a similar sepia tone and without text, for the sake of homogeneity/coherence. It's reasonable, provided the original images are not overwritten.--Carnby (talk) 13:30, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

@Carnby: So is it possible to remove the watermark from that pic I've posted yesterday? Jaqeli (talk) 14:12, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
