Advice to requesters

All requesters:

• Please make sure your request is "legit" by copyright. If the image(s) are in the public domain or freely licensed, you are fine. If the image(s) are "Fair use", there are only certain things we can do with them without falling afoul of Wikipedia's fair-use policies.
  • If you are requesting assistance with a copyright or fair-use image, don't display it on this page; place {{GLNF|Name.ext}} to create a link to it. Do not add the Image: extension. Our fair-use policy does not allow displaying fair-use images out of their articles on ANY account.
• Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions needs to be answered before the request can be completed.
• If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.

SVG requests:

• Make sure your request can actually BE vectorized. Note that vector drawings are not suitable for certain applications. We generally use SVG format for icons, logos, drawings, maps, flags, and such. Certain things, photographs especially, are totally impossible to vectorize.

Correction for aerial photographs

Hello - do you have any advice for how to make the colour of photos taken from aircraft windows look a little less "whited-out"? My adjustments using curves are a bit of an improvement on the original, but there must be a better way. Examples: - Gobeirne (talk) 06:46, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
