I have been looking for a very long time for another version of this image. it would seem that there is none. The shiled itself is an easy part to do, the only main problem ( and the reason why it has not been done) is becouse of the seal bellow the shield and the wheat/feathers arround it. they are no clear enough nor there is a clear text (that i can read) in wich it describes what it should contain. so there is no way to realistically retrace it as svg -LadyofHats (talk) 11:20, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Could someone do the shield, at least (Since that seems easy), so when a better resolution image turns up, the rest can be done fairly easily? 68.39.174.238 (talk) 01:14, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just notice that the content in the pdf must be reduced to the table as well, the first two letters are not necessaryJasy jatere (talk) 16:02, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: How's that? --pbroks13talk? 23:55, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

looks good. There are some details which could be improved.
  • last character in the k-row, red part: only the bottom "bowl" thick like that, the rest of the red part must be much thinner. Compare the different thickness of lines for p
  • the two red characters in the l row have to have a hair stroke on the left, which is very thin. you can use the right column of this table http://www.omniglot.com/images/writing/sinhala_cons.gif as a model.
  • for k and r, the pdf has lines of different thickness as well. Could you try to catch that in an svg?
  • the r (6) seems unbalanced and very "hand-written", which has to do with line weight as well, I think
Thanks for you help! Jasy jatere (talk) 10:40, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'd started a work on it but hadn't had a chance to upload until now. I've used the unicode characters from the Sinhala alphabet page (specifically p, k, r and ḷ from the consonants table and the a, u and ū from the vowels table. However, as you can see in the svg above I haven't completed the ku and kū because I can't see which characters in the table match the shapes in the pdf. Do you know which shape it should be, or if it is even in those tables, part of another character, etc? — ₪₪ ch1902 ₪₪ 11:19, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
for Lu/Luu, you can use the shapes provided for ä/ää.
for ku/kuu, there are no shapes you could copy in the imgs. The hook for short u is very similar to a Latin 'c'. The hook for uu varies, but if you take the right part of ruu and clip the 'tail' and bend it and then scale the whole thing down, you come close to it (hope that was clear ...)
Lu/Luu are missing the hairstroke on the left
smaller notes: the right arm of p should not touch the belly
The relative differences in thickness seem a bit too much, the thick parts can become a bit less Jasy jatere (talk) 12:56, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
got inkscape and meddled a bit with the img. The L's are fine now. I do not know how to 'cut' stuff, so the red parts for ku and kuu still have their topmost line, which should probably deleted. The z-like part in kuu, ruu and Luu needs to be thicker, but I do not know how to do that either, so I would appreciate help there Jasy jatere (talk) 00:03, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Oil shale extraction

Request: The PNG is public domain (U.S. Gov). Looks ideal for converting into an SVG file. -- Kaldari (talk) 23:55, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I've had a good go at this one, but the resolution of the image is simply too low to get anything usable. I've also had a look at the source but I can't extract anything from that of significantly better quality. If all you want is a very abstracted view of the main chambers only (the colored bits) it would be possible to create that from scratch. The fine detail underneath the processor, however, is virtually unreadable even when magnified. Debate 木 12:28, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is that stuff down there absolutely critical? EG. I can tell that one part of it is a stairwell, which isn't very helpful other than giving scale... 68.39.174.238 (talk) 03:22, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
According to the diagram there appears to be a range of other mechanical bits and pieces (motor, shale feed, riding rings, etc), in addition to some of the internal detail, that are too blurry to easily convert to SVG. Whether they are critical to the diagram or not is something only Kaldari can answer. Debate 木 08:58, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think those pieces are really critical to the diagram. Have a go at a simplified version and I'll let you know if anything really important is missing. Thanks! Kaldari (talk) 20:19, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. Thanks for trying. I did create a basic GIF image for starters, Image:Obama McCain taxes.gif. See in the above gallery. Here are some bar chart possibilities if anybody can help: Commons:Bar chart (many bar charts organized by type).

(unindent)Maybe income tax percentages would be better than actual dollar amounts. Since the change in tax rates as a range of percentages is much smaller than the dollar changes. Percentages were used in the bar charts on pages 38, 39, 46 of [2].

Maybe dollar amounts could be used if the table was broken up into 2 bar charts. One would cover the lower 7 income brackets. The other bar chart would cover the upper 2 income brackets. I think this would look good, and be easily understood without having to have a wide range in variation of length in the bars. --Timeshifter (talk) 12:57, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  Article(s): Sarah Palin   Request: Hi, this image is at the top of the article.  As you'll see at the image page, it was created by cropping a much larger image, zooming, and sharpening.  I did all this myself, but my software is crummy.  Can you do a better job?  Thanks.Ferrylodge (talk) 01:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC)   Graphist opinion: Would you object to a wider crop—closer to the lectern, maybe just above the sheet of paper she's holding, and all the way to her right shoulder? Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:23, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The main thing is to have the eyes centered.  Some people asked for that at the article talk page.  As far as how wide the crop is, please use your best judgment.  You folks are the experts, not me. :-)  Maybe you could do one with the existing crop, and one with the wider crop?Ferrylodge (talk) 01:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Will give this a go tomorrow morning. Eyes will be centered :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 02:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(undent) Thanks, I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with.  Do you think this image or this image might be better at the top of the article?Ferrylodge (talk) 07:18, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quality-wise, the "tracksuit" image (which was in the article for quite a while) is still the best, despite the awkward composition. I think the one above is the best substitute right now. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 15:19, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, here we go. I've made three attempts; I recommend no. 2, but I'll leave it up to you to decide which is best :) Please let me know which one you'd like to keep and I'll move it to Commons under a more descriptive filename. Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 15:44, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'll go with your choice, despite the hand (it kind of humanizes the whole thing, makes it look real and spontaneous, and will make for an interesting topic of conversation). #2 it is!. BTW, did you do any sharpening?Ferrylodge (talk) 20:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought, I think the head's too tiny on #2, so I went with #1 (after a little bit of sharpening). Thanks.Ferrylodge (talk) 21:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, I didn't do any sharpening as I didn't think it would be much of an improvement. Would you like any of the above versions kept or should I delete them? Fvasconcellos (t·c) 22:01, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your help and suggestions. I did a crop that is sort of a compromise between #1 and #2, and uploaded it, so I think we're all set now. The extras can be deleted, I think, unless you think the image now at Sara Palin can be substantially improved. Cheers.Ferrylodge (talk) 22:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The new version is a good compromise. There are plenty of images of Palin on Commons, and I don't think these work-in-progress versions are necessary; that's why I uploaded them locally in the first place. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 22:13, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(undent)Fvasconcellos, an editor has created another image that he thinks is better, though I disagree. What do you think? I've inserted the two images side by side (the one on the right is the current image in the article, as I write this).Ferrylodge (talk) 03:49, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that was me. I sharpened and tweaked the levels and highlights so that it is not so washed out. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 04:36, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • More accurate skin tone
More accurate hair color and detail
  • Face features looks sharper
  • Noise on blouse is less obvious
  • Sharper overall, such as mics, glasses details, etc.
We could tweak it further by keeping the original background, but using the sharper foreground portion
≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 04:39, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The subject's shirt is so black in Jossi's image that you can't see the folds and wrinkles. The colors in the background are so bright they look like neon. I'm not convinced that the image on the right can be improved, but surely a compromise would be better than the image on the left.Ferrylodge (talk) 05:06, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In all fairness, I do think it is a bit excessive, but the white balance has improved, and I can see still see the detail of her shirt just fine. Are you sure it's not your monitor?
I actually did do some color correction myself but decided against uploading the version because (as with the sharpening) I didn't think it was a real improvement. I said it above, and I'll say it again: this image is certainly not the best in terms of quality. Let's just try not to make this an issue, shall we? The article has seen more than enough of those as it is... Fvasconcellos (t·c) 12:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the color saturation is excessive. It is also dark and has lost detail. I have worked on this image in Photoshop and have other versions with more subtle corrections that look better. IP75 75.25.28.167 (talk) 18:08, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Electron configuration, Atomic orbital

Request: I think these all are of very low quality.. → Nitya Dharma / ? 13:19, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I agree that they're low quality and perhaps these should be SVG-ified, but I'll just mention that the images were created using Orbital Viewer which outputs to "TIFF, PPM, BMP, AVI, and VRML files." Also, it's Windows-only. So you won't be able to use the same source to generate the images.— ʞɔıu 13:33, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did the series, but I don't have the time to scale & composite them, add text & make backgrounds transparent. Please will someone pick up from here. Note that the name format is [orbital][N]M[Mcode].png where orbital is S, P, D or F; N is 1 to 7 and M is 0, -1 to 1, -2 to 2 or -3 to 3, depending on orbital. A selection of renders are shown here but I didn't want to spam 44 images to the Lab so the full gallery can be found at User:Dhatfield/Sandbox2. Dhatfield (talk) 03:11, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note that the S series was done without adjusting the zoom to show relative scale and the others were scaled. Dhatfield (talk) 03:14, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Ohio State University logo redo

Resolved

Article(s): Ohio State University

Request: Our current logo is not an accurate representation of the official logo and I was told to "sofixit". I was wondering if one of the gurus here could help? Here's what we have now: Image:OSU.svg and it needs to be: http://afrotc.osu.edu/common/home_osu.gif

The background needs to be: PANTONE 200 or CMYK: four-color process formula: 0 cyan 100 magenta 65 yellow 15 black or Hexadecimal: #990000 or RGB values: 153, 0, 0 Thanks! §hep • ¡Talk to me! 21:22, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Honestly? Use the logo provided by the university, under fair use if necessary. Whoever made the SVG version did a great job, but it's just not accurate enough; the visual integrity of a logo is sacred! Color is not the only issue: the O in OHIO, for instance, has much more severe oblique stress in the actual logo (that is, the "axis" of the O is tilted much farther to the left; the stroke of the letter is thickest at the bottom left and top right), and the SVG's T · H · E and UNIVERSITY don't match the original—they should be set in Palatino, not hand-drawn. See if you can spot the difference in the "R". Fvasconcellos (t·c) 15:14, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, you can request a logo from the University in EPS format (easily converted to SVG without any modifications) here. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:17, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Please can someone improve on this. The present version is something I knocked up in paint (only thing I had and can use!) as the article was badly needing a map to help explain the situation - Dumelow (talk) 20:06, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Dumelow, if you can do this in paint, you could do it in the free and very easy to use Inkscape, and then you'd have another valuable skill. Dhatfield (talk) 15:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then again, I could do it :) I added some detail on the gunfire and damage - if you don't want it I can easily take it out. Any further detail you would like can be added relatively easily. Cheers and best of luck with the FAC. Dhatfield (talk) 16:52, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's much better, and indeed usable now. Thanks! May I ask you how you did it? I am making several similar photographs. Nils Emil (talk) 08:03, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In GIMP, with the Curves tool. After increasing contrast in the image as a whole, I masked the parsley and worked on the Green channel (again, with Curves) and did a tiny bit of sharpening. Have a look over here for some information on how to use the Curves tool. Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 12:51, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A color change doesn't need a vector editor such as Inkscape, by the way. Just open the file in any text editor, find the hex value of the color you want to change and change it :) In this case, #000000 would become #e34234; save it, upload it, and you're home free.
