Request: SVG image. Its a featured article - could do with a decent blazon. Thanks -- Mangwanani (talk) 19:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: My attempt. Lion not quite right... Mangwanani (talk) 14:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- As nice as it looks, this is a logo—I don't think it could have been vectorized; yours is a derivative work :( We'd have to find a vector version that's already available, such as in a club PDF. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 15:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- I know you have good intentions Mangwanani, but you really need to watch out for copyright now, after your previous warnings. You had a final warning for copyright infringement so don't hesitate to ask questions beforehand at Wikipedia:Image copyright help desk. Jackaranga (talk) 23:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Request: There's something odd about this image when you look at it at full resolution - I realise there's probably some paper texture there, but the chromatics look a little off, like there's some chromatic aberration. What do you think? -- Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 05:23, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: There is indeed something going on. I really don't know what it is either. Perhaps the original painting is on canvas, and that's whats showing through. Removing the yellows gives this, (although I'm not sure Utagawa Kuniyoshi would consider it an improvement.) Sagredo⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 01:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm. Not sure - some of the yellows are clearly intentional - maybe we could combine the images? By the way, I was fiddling about with a half-toned image, and think it might be badly-fixed half-toning, as I got a similar effect. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 16:37, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Flowchart fix

Article(s): Draft for discussion
Request: -- For some reason the image renders perfectly in both Internet Explorer and Opera, but it's horribly unusable when used on Wikipedia pages, whether included full size or thumbnailed (can be seen at the above link and by clicking through the Image: page). Some text is being omitted, half the image is covered by rectangles. It's been requested for discussion but can't be used in this state and I can't see how to fix it. Can anyone take a look at it and figure how to make a version that mediawiki will render correctly in a Wikipedia page? It's not very complicated as svg's go. Thanks!

- It's also hideous (But in a different way) in Firefox 2.0.0.12. Image:BLP flowchart.svg is fine in both. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 21:08, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- The original was machine encoded, as a draft only, and all but impossible to modify. Best ignored. Its Image:BLP flowchart 2.svg that's the problem, it doesn't seem to render properly in mediawiki as it does on browsers. FT2 (Talk | email) 02:06, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: The problem was that in some places the font size was being scaled to 120% of the original size, but ImageMagick (MediaWiki's rendering engine) was interpreting this as a literal 120 point (I think) - the black boxes were actually letters. I've fixed that, and partially fixed the problem with the overlayed text when it's rendered with Gecko, e.g. in Firefox; the problem there was that it wasn't recognising the 'dy="1.4em"' in the tspan elements, but a simple change of units to pixels fixed that. There are still some strange things going on with Gecko, but I'm not sure what to do with those. Time3000 (talk) 12:31, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
