My guess is that it's a trace of clouds. You can see something similar at 2296,1140. Whatever it was, I removed it, but was unable to upload the new version due to the following error:

It's like suggesting that two glasses of water are of differing temperature, but when you place a thermometer in each they are the same. The obvious conclusion... they are the same.

:::I've found the issue and its name is [[color management]]. When opening your version of the file, I noticed that it shows up with (RGB/8#) after the file name in its Photoshop window, while the original shows up as (RGB/8*). After doing some digging, I've finally figured it out. If I go to assign a color management profile to your version, it's set to "Don't manage this document". On the original version, however, the profile is set to "Adobe RBG (1998)," and switching away from it leads the picture to appear considerably duller, despite having the same RGB values. There are all kinds of profiles I can assign to the picture, each of which makes it more dark, more saturated, more washed out, more whatever, without ever changing a single RGB value in it.

:::Yay, colors, the bane of every artist's existence. -[[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 01:18, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

::::Interesting. A color profile added to the image that may alter the display value of the colors depending on what is displaying it. I loaded the image in GIMP and did indeed see the two different shades if the profile was loaded. Firefox also automatically recognizes and uses the profile and alters the image. And the added profile does actually change the RGB values while it is being displayed. So basically, when I saved the file, I inadvertantly stripped the file of the profile and caused it to display unaltered everywhere. Peachy. Every time I think I have the world figured out, it gets a little more complicated. [[File:Binette-typo.png|15px]] (Thanks for figuring it out.)

What article is this for? How is this picture useful to illustrate anything on Wikipedia? This sounds like a personal request, which is not what Graphic Lab is for. -[[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 23:33, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

May I know who you are to ask? Are you interested to contribute here or are you just a troll who is here to criticise? If its the latter, please take your shop somewhere else. I'm not interested. This is a personal request because this is something very important for me. If the whole Wikimedia community has volunteers who are happy to improve images at their own free will. Why don't we let them decide whether they want to fix this picture or not? This is a democratic site and you are no one to question me and I am no one to question anyone else. Most of these volunteers do this for practice - to encounter various scenarios which will help them learn more and be better. Therefore, I don't think we need to moderate postings here. Finally, I'd like to say that if you are happy to help me out on this picture, I would really be grateful. If you think its inappropriate of me to post this picture here and you have nothing to contribute, please don't. I would really want to keep the trolls away, please.

@Materialscientist: I would request you to kindly reconsider and take up this assignment. I have written to you on your talk page explaining my comment. I would appreciate it when people here on an open democratic platform are more polite and helpful towards each other. Walking around with a stick ordering people how to behave is really not appreciated. This is a request and I have explained myself well enough so I don't see the point of this person coming up and dictating rules to me. I would understand that there are rules and would follow them normally but I certainly do not appreciate big brothers ordering people around here regardless of how much they contribute on graphics lab. Contributing to a few assignments here doesn't automatically make anyone a higher authority than the next person. [[User:Ganeshrg|Ganeshrg]] ([[User talk:Ganeshrg|talk]]) 06:52, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

@Ganeshrg: Wikipedia isn't able to save the world. Voluntary work is a rare thing, and so it's a gift. The few contributions have a priority list ... You can ask for a gift, not more ... By the way, democracy isn't about "getting dumb cheap labour" or exchanging [[King Louis XVI of France|King Louis XVI]] with the "[[guillotine]]" or exchanging Tsar [[Nicholas II of Russia]] with "[[Vladimir Lenin|Lennin]]/ [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]]" ... This kind of subterfuge makes me sick ... And Wikipedia isn't an "open democratic platform", but a human encyclopedia/ database with some good qualities, some of them are very rare (interwiki links, high resolution images, hyperlinks) ... A society is able to build something up when mercy prevails, and an encyclopedia/ database needs a hierarchy ... --[[User:Chris.urs-o|Chris.urs-o]] ([[User talk:Chris.urs-o|talk]]) 08:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

@Chris: I agree with everything you say but I hope you agree with what I said about the tone a person should use. There are polite ways to say things and impolite way to say the very same things. I wasn't too amused by the confrontational big-brother attitude that the first poster used and I wrote back conveying my annoyance. I also believe that Wikipedia and Wikimedia are the best examples of democracy in fact. You have a right to say what you want - if the majority doesn't like it, your voice is overwritten by others but you can say whatever you like nonetheless. I also believe that if a graphics expert here doesn't have a problem with helping someone with personal images, why should anyone else have a problem? [[User:Ganeshrg|Ganeshrg]] ([[User talk:Ganeshrg|talk]]) 10:31, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

:Please tell me, how did you hear what tone I was using? How could you tell I wrote my message with a "confrontational big-brother attitude"? Did I say, "How dare you put personal requests here?! Remove this at once!!!"? No. I was asking simple questions—how is this image useful? what article would it go in?—because I was confused. Maybe this image really was of educational value and I was missing it. Who am I to ask? A volunteer here, trying to figure out which request I should spend my limited time on (as is every graphist here). And I noted that to me this sounded like a request for personal work, and let you know, in case you weren't aware, that requests for retouching work on personal photographs isn't what Graphic Lab is for. If I was mistaken and the image was of educational value, you had a chance to point it out. If not, you could have still said all that you did above—that this is important to you and that you are looking for a graphist to do a personal request—without jumping down my throat and accusing me of trolling. I don't have time to write every one of my messages with flowery, polite language in the off chance somebody will get huffy about them.

This image is a good example of why it's always a good idea for us amateur photographers to snap multiple pictures of whatever you're snapping pictures of. (especially if you're using a camera where all the settings are set to automatic) A few seconds of time or a few feet in either direction might have yielded a better image where the sun glare had less of an effect.

While I would certainly take on the task of giving this image some work, it may be worth waiting for a few days, perhaps a weeks for the Library of Congress to add the map to their digital archive as they may add an even higher-res version. At the moment the image is only available from third-party sources, would be a shame to start work on it only to find a better version being released. I'll try and keep an eye out for it and if no better image emerges I'll work on this copy, as its still pretty high quality.

:::::Looks great. I've not idea what's possible in terms of restoration, but in certain places where the crease were, it looks a bit smudgier than I'd expect. For instance on the Orlando Ferguson medallion, some texture detail was lost. Likewise, on the right side, there's a dotted circle which stops being circular where the crease was. No idea if this is a big deal with regards to restoration, but I suspect this would get raised in an FPC so if this can be addressed before the FPC, it would probably make things go more smoothly.

From my perspective, [http://archives1.dags.hawaii.gov/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=491&g2_imageViewsIndex=1 this image] is of significantly better quality than [http://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/ggbain.06548/ this one]. Of course, anything is possible and certainly there is someone out there talented, skilled and artistic enough to bring the inferior image up to the same level as the superior one... but like I said, realistically, it ain't gonna happen. But go ahead, let it sit here for a while and hold out for that better offer. Just don't hold your breath. [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta|talk]]) 03:17, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
<Indent>To me, this is all about priorities. Why restoring an image which is rather similar to already restored one ([[:File:Kingdavidkalakaua dust.jpg]])? Take [[Kalākaua]], the target article. I would say [[:File:Kapaakea and Kalakaua.jpg]] (restoration) and [[:File:Kalakauapainting.jpg]] (possibly unbalanced color) have higher priority. Are there other originals for these images?

:(different topic) I got the first image from a pdf version of the book I listed as source which I converted into to the image it is now with no editing since I don't know how to clean up images. It looks like the other one (the painting) resembles paintings located in Iolani Palace. You can ask Iolani Palace, Hawaii State Archives or Bishop Museum. But I highly doubt they are going to give you anything unless you pay them a fee for using it since I've contacted before on other issues. --[[User:KAVEBEAR|KAVEBEAR]] ([[User talk:KAVEBEAR|talk]]) 04:22, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

You know, I downloaded the original image from the LofC and spent a bit of time cleaning it up a couple months ago for you. Now you went and re-uploaded the original image again. I wash my hands of this image (and probably of you as well... at least for a while). Aloha. [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta|talk]]) 06:08, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
:I'm sorry you took it so personally. But hours ago I uploaded the new one under [[:File:Kalakaua dust & scratches.jpg]] and credited you as one of the editors. I've been trying to be polite and asking another user to edit it elsewhere (User:Greg L) but your past few comments have been really pushing my buttons. --[[User:KAVEBEAR|KAVEBEAR]] ([[User talk:KAVEBEAR|talk]]) 06:14, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

4/3 is very common (like in screen resolutions series 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, ...). I have to run. Watermarks need to be removed and color adjusted a bit (maybe). This is all easy, and if not done, I might get to that in a couple of hours or so. [[User:Materialscientist|Materialscientist]] ([[User talk:Materialscientist|talk]]) 02:02, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

:{{Done}}. I have also converted it to grayscale because this allowed to sharpen and enhance contrast (which otherwise looked bad in blue color). [[User:Materialscientist|Materialscientist]] ([[User talk:Materialscientist|talk]]) 23:50, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

::I took the liberty of reducing the contrast. I thought it a little much. [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta|talk]]) 23:54, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

:::::''(Moving conversation back to this page so anyone or everyone may benefit from our ramblings.[[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta|talk]]) 01:11, 28 July 2011 (UTC))'' Sorry, I didn't mean to be unclear or rude: there is a mold-like white noise in her hat which could be removed within a few seconds in GIMP without affecting the rest. Grayscale noise is almost always present in unicolor photos and its degree depends on the contrast settings, thus my comment. [[User:Materialscientist|Materialscientist]] ([[User talk:Materialscientist|talk]]) 00:29, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
::::::I try to be careful what I alter in an old photo. The moldy noise you mention could just as easily be the texture of a felt hat. At any rate, you and I both hit the photo at about the same time. I simply cropped, greyscaled and removed a couple obvious spots. I thought that was more than sufficient. When I went to upload, I saw someone had done pretty much the same thing, although added what I thought was a little too much contrast enhancement for no particular reason. So I just uploaded my own version believing it was superior. [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta|talk]]) 01:11, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
