Idi Amin[edit]

Reason: Edmund S. Valtman was a Pulitzer Prize winning political cartoonist who donated a portion of his work to the public domain. This example is a caricature of Idi Amin, Ugandan military dictator and the president of Uganda from 1971 to 1979. Restored version of File:Idi Amin caricature.jpg. Scanned from original artist's sketch; pencil lines made by the artist before inking have been retained (most visible at chin and shoulders).

Support but I feel the white balance is a little blue. Anyone else, or would that be my laptop? —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 11:46, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- On my system the white balance appears different between Photoshop, Commons, and en:wiki for this image. Have had all three windows open at the same time side by side, and can't explain the discrepancy. That's why I tweaked and reuploaded so many times. Durova^Charge! 19:11, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We use a pale blue background for non-mainspace pages, in Photoshop it's surrounded by grey and I think Commons is white. The perception of color is dependent on the surrounding colors. MER-C 02:30, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to try another edit if you can achieve a better balance. The uncompressed TIFF file is linked from the image hosting page. Durova^Charge! 17:14, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
