Kinrande

Remove reflection of glass. Make background all white. Keep and retouch shadow at base to make it more uniform. Restore golden parts that cannot be seen due to bright light.
Background cleaned (not white), reflection retouched and invisible parts restored, ~~shadow did not edited~~. Shadow restored. Background white. Y Could you increase the distance of the object to the borders? At the moment it feels too close to it. Y
Restore golden parts that are invisible due to bright light Y Somehow there is still a greenish tint in this image. Have you tried working from the version I uploaded earlier?

Request

See captions. Reupload over original image, no need to create separate files. -- Gryffindor (talk) 11:19, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Second one done. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 16:24, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal for the first image. The background color to match the base and unedited shadow has been left. I do not know how shadows would look if there was no basis. PawełMM (talk) 11:23, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please make the background white, at the moment it looks very unclean? There are also too many shadows at the moment, 1-2 would be good. Thank you. Gryffindor (talk) 22:38, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on a version of the first one, as well. I'll create a new file and you can pick which one you prefer, and we'll re-upload over the original and delete the proposals. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 19:03, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gryffindor: New version of the proposal added. PawełMM (talk) 16:29, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gryffindor: Note to the proposal: I am sorry, but in my opinion the expected effect is not worth the work necessary to achieve it. ~~Maybe someone will be willing to do it.~~ PawełMM (talk)

Graphist opinion(s)

Before anyone attempts any spot removal I'll put a request in for FFT filtering to remove the moiré pattern... nagualdesign 22:45, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, my FFT filtering didn't quite get all the "halftoning", and I had to use a bit of "surface blur", but here's File:TsetereliFotografíasCárcelDeMetejiTiflis1904 (retouched).png to look at in the meantime. The background could be 'evened out' a bit more, but I didn't like the results I was getting with my attempts to do that non-destructively, so I stopped here. -- Begoon 04:27, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not too shabby at all. I took the liberty of performing an extreme crop, converting the image to grayscale and replacing the background with 'infobox blue' (#f8f9fa). Feel free to revert. nagualdesign 05:13, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, I think the crop is good, and replacing the background works too. Both are good edits, thanks. -- Begoon 05:21, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Would it be possible (and permissible) to edit out the motorbike, motor car and parking sign from this photograph, please? I'd like to use it for an article on someone born in the house in 1908, and it would be excellent if the three modern things in the foreground could be removed. Quite understand if it can't be done, naturally. – Tim riley talk 13:10, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

File:Regni Poloniae Magni Ducatus Lithuaniae Tabula Carolo Allard.jpg

Original

Article(s): History of Poland
Request: Please remove all pink lines and dots in the map, since they don't follow any historical boundary but are randomnly applied. Remove any blue lines that do not follow the course of rivers and complete missing rivers and also the shaded coast of oceans and lakes with same blue. In the centre there is a mountaineous area that is also blue, it should be green. All missing forests should be green. Some mountaineous ranges are also missing their beige colour. Compare this same map for guidance [1]. For the the top right retouch coat of arms so the colours are correct as can be seen here [2]. Colour left white hand of angel on top of the coat of arms in pink like the rest of the body. Papal tiara at the right of the allegory should be in white and not red, see here [3]. -- Gryffindor (talk) 16:47, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s): I'm not sure if I understand the rationale for this request. The map purports to be from the 17th century, created by Carolo Allard, who I assume was a cartographer. There are at least 2 versions of the map on Commons with differing amounts of colour – File:Poland and Lithuania - by Carolo Allard - 1696 AD.jpg and File:Regni Poloniae Magni Ducatus Lithuaniae Tabula Carolo Allard.jpg. They can't both be the original, and any map altered by one of us certainly won't be original. So what is this map going to be used for? nagualdesign 17:16, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is the original historical map from the 17th century. In my opinion, there is no point in making any changes on it. PawełMM (talk) 18:17, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Digging a little deeper I found a hi-res copy of the original, which I've uploaded as File:Regni Poloniae Magni Ducatus Lithuaniae.jpg. Comparing it to the other image I see that the only difference is that you have whitened the smaller image. I don't think that it's good practice to whiten a map that's over 300 years old, and the changes you have asked for are ill-advised. It may well be that the pink lines are "randomly applied" and don't follow any historical boundaries, but it's a faithful reproduction of the original. If you want an accurate modern map of historical boundaries I'm sure they're available. nagualdesign 18:22, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The map is for the template. You can rename your new file with some wording that it is edited. But the pink lines just do not make any sense and the colouring scheme is all wrong with the coat of arms as well. I would liked to have the colours corrected. If you are unwilling to do that, then I would just like to have a black and white image without any colour. Gryffindor (talk) 21:15, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming that you're talking about Template:History of Poland, why whiten the map at all? By making the background white you've actually made the pink boundary lines ever so slightly visible, whereas before (and in the thumbnail of the original map above) the pink lines aren't visible. Do you think that people will be reading articles about Polish history, squint at the infobox and think, "Wait a minute, those borders appear to be historically inaccurate!"? How about this; the original map is itself part of Polish history, and including it in the infobox in its original form is purely decorative and entirely apropos. It's not that I'm unwilling to fulfil your request, I'm actually saying, as another editor, that I disagree with your proposed edit. Is there anyone else who thinks that what you're proposing is a good idea, or is it just something that you want? nagualdesign 13:33, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Point taken. Could you make a black and white map only in this case, or find one please? Gryffindor (talk) 19:41, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
