Request: Currently there is no barnstar or other award for Korea-related topics, so I would like to request a suitable image. The only stipulation I have is that it in some way incorporates the sam-taeguk symbol (shown above). All other considerations, such as whether or not it uses the original barnstar image, I leave at the discretion of whoever takes up this request, so feel free to go nuts!

Fetus about to be aborted

Fetus about to be aborted
SVG

Article(s): Abortion

Request: Hello. I made this image from two other images, as indicated at this image's description page. Obviously, I'm not very good at it. :) The color image was made by Andrew c, who may or may not want to help out with this request. If you all can fix this image up, then it may or may not go into the article, seeing as how there has been some disagreement about whether the Abortion article should show what is aborted. (FYI, the fetus at this stage is 1.25 inches from head to rump, so you may want to make it a bit bigger in relation to the rest of the image.) The two horizontal lines should be removed. The thing extending from the belly is the umbilical cord, and it should terminate at the surrounding surface. Incidentally, the white thing at the bottom right corner is a suction tube.

I should prbably mention that the originally-uploaded fetus image from 29 August 2007 had more kilobytes, and was pink-colored.[1] It also had a slight spot in the eye that has been correctly removed, and the lettering has also been correctly removed (however, I'm not so sure that the color should have been removed, but people objected saying it was too cute).Ferrylodge (talk) 20:48, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

I cannot help with this specific image request because my image is vector and your image is raster. Since mine is a diagram, there is no sense in converting it to raster. Perhaps someone could create an SVG image of a fetus/embryo? I'd recommend using another source image though, if someone is to make one from scratch, as concerns have been raised about File:10 weeks pregnant.png. Anyway, I added details to the embryo in my image per your request (see the two different version in the file history of File:Vacuum-aspiration.svg). I'm sorry that wasn't good enough. These images are related to a very long, ongoing discussion at Talk:Abortion, which means even if an image is created here, there may not be consensus for it's inclusion in that article (something to keep in mind). That said, perhaps having SVG images of various stages of fetal development (4 week, 8 week, 12 week, etc) may be quite helpful to the project as a whole, outside of the image discussions related to the abortion article.-Andrew c ^[talk] 21:46, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, we have commons:Category:Anatomical plates and drawings of the pregnancy by User:Miraceti which really could use some jazzing up.-Andrew c ^[talk] 21:49, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just so others are aware (Andrew c is already aware), when I click on File:Vacuum-aspiration.svg I do not see any fetus. My monitor is a Dell, and seems to work fine for everything else. Even if Andrew c's fetus were visible on all monitors, I still would like an enlargement at the abortion article, and I'm sure that the image I've submitted here must be more detailed than that of Andrew c. So, my request still stands, and I would be grateful for the assistance.Ferrylodge (talk) 21:54, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Basically a zoom of the SVG you used and converted to raster. I darkened the fetus by about 10% for a bit more contrast (could a graphist help with the crop, I can never get InkScape to do that correctly). I can't do much with creating a new image from scratch, if this isn't what you want/need I'll happily tag it for deletion and I'm sure one of our talented will whip something up. Hope the issues are resolved and that this helps. §hep • ^Talk 22:00, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Shep, that's definitely an improvement, as I can now actually see the fetus. However, the black-and-white image is much more accurate (e.g. a fetus at 8 weeks from fertilization has separate fingers, and has legs between the feet and body). But please don't delete your image just yet, since it may come in handy. Could one of your talented please whip something up using the black-and white fetus and/or the original color version thereof? Thanks. I'd prefer the original color version, and it seems that Andrew c would too, but there has been some controversy about whether color would be better than black and white.Ferrylodge (talk) 22:07, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And I'll repeat what I said above, please use a different source image, if possible, perhaps drawing from life. File:9-Week_Human_Embryo_from_Ectopic_Pregnancy.jpg would be good, or you could use a combination of sources from the web as references as long as you make sure it is an original work, not a derivative work (if the source files are copyrighted). www.ehd.org has some really amazing images.-Andrew c ^[talk] 22:38, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew c, I emphatically disagree. The image that you are suggesting is an embryo, not a fetus. Most induced abortions in this world involve a fetus and not an embryo. If you want us to use a real photo of a fetus, then I suppose we could use this one, but we do not have a precise age for it.

The image that I have requested goes well with your image, because it would look odd to have a drawing in combination with a photo. Moreover, the image I am requesting has been through the wringer, and has been accepted in multiple Wikipedia articles for years. Its description page provides detailed sources for verification of accuracy.

Recently, I proposed to you having an image of both an embryo and a fetus, but I do not recall you being agreeable. I could still accept that type of solution (i.e. two different enlargements, one for an embryo and one for a fetus). But I cannot agree to your request to have only an embryo, because it would be misleading to Wikipedia readers.Ferrylodge (talk) 22:54, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't saying for someone to superimpose a photo, I was asking for the graphist to make an SVG (aka digital drawing) using different source material than File:10 weeks pregnant.png. I'm not going to debate when an average abortion takes place with you here. I'd simply like for there to be good, SVG drawings of multiple stages of human development (outside of the context of abortion), and if someone is to do this, I'd recommend drawing from life. -Andrew c ^[talk] 22:59, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Look, my request here is specifically for the abortion article. If you would like to make a separate request here at the graphic lab, then please do so. And I already said that drawing from life would be fine with me, if this photo of a fetus is used, instead of a photo of an embryo. Another photo of a fetus (at 8 weeks) is here, and a drawing based on that would be fine too. However, I still think that it would be most efficient for the Graphic Lab to simply use the existing drawing that I provided, which matches up very well with the 8-week photo here.Ferrylodge (talk) 23:02, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your drawing is not in SVG format. My diagram is. Someone is going to have to convert something into SVG format. All I'm saying is that since someone is going to be converting something into SVG format (because you don't like my embryo), then there is better reference material. I didn't mean to hijack your request. I just figured if I voiced my opinion before an image was created, I'd have less reason to oppose further down the line as I could raise my concerns before hand. I'd be glad to back out of this discussion now. -Andrew c ^[talk] 23:16, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever the brave folks at the Graphic Lab do, I hope the result will depict a fetus at 8 weeks (because depicting a later fetus could be just as misleading as depicting an embryo).Ferrylodge (talk) 23:22, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not wanting to get involved in this little "discussion" too much (I don't even understand the problem!), I edited the file shep put up to reduce filesize and complexity. Just clipping doesn't remove the data, it just hides it, and makes it harder to edit, especially if you clip part by part. As long as the clipping path is on top, you can clip it all with one path - just select everything you want to clip and the clipping path, and it is all clipped by the same path. − Inductiveload (talk) 13:27, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot to say - you don't need to clip to the page size - Wikimedia does that automatically. Anything that if off the "artboard" in Inkscape will be off the sides of the image. Inductiveload (talk) 13:31, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A fetus about to be aborted 8 weeks after fertilization (10 weeks gestational age).

(undent)Thanks for the comment, Inductiveload. I'm not sure if the Graphic Lab is still working on this project. Anyway, I made the image at right. If the Graphic Lab is still working on this project, there's no rush. The image at right seems better than both of the images above, for the reasons explained, but maybe the Graphic Lab can make further improvements?Ferrylodge (talk) 00:10, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To elaborate / reiterate, on the town website, there was a newsletter which included the logo as greyscale. This was what I used (and I presume what Cradel used) for the SVG file.

I went back to my older seal (because it had text, rather than curves), and updated the file to make the colours match the GIF. The font used, as I mentioned earlier, is Goudy ExtraBold, which is not gratis [2]. I found a somewhat equivalent free font called Fradley, which is what I've used for the seal text now. I find the dot position interesting — the GIF on the website has the dots a bit above the centre, while the PDF seal has the dots in the centre. It's hard for me to tell which one of those two representations is the intention of the person/people who designed the seal. gringer (talk) 01:32, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you're saying. Those are two completely different designs. The current design is fine. I didn't look so closely at the wording on the PDF. Thanks again for your efforts. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 03:00, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's a rendering issue in MediaWiki. The version of imagemagick that is used to convert SVG files to PNG doesn't render fonts correctly. In this case, the 'rotated' text appears in the wrong place. The way around this is to convert the text to paths. Unfortunately for this file, that ends up with a rather large file (about 4MB, maybe larger) due to the amount of text in it, so I left it as is. gringer (talk) 00:39, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, basically the whole image is created using vector drawing (Adobe Illustrator) and not a raster.

Inkscape is able to open some Adobe Illustrator files, I recall something about forced rasterisation in Illustrator when saving as SVG for things that aren't well supported (which seems to have happened here).

That looks like quite a bad image to start with. Have you checked Commons:Category:Periodic_table for anything better? /Lokal _Profil 01:14, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found something that could probably be worked on. gringer (talk) 01:43, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've now replaced the 'extreme' colour with something different (a dark purple), which according to GIMP should be more easily distinguishable for colourblind people. gringer (talk) 03:43, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is somewhat better; I can tell the difference (with the PNG) without much trouble, although my colourblindness isn't as bad as it is for many red-green colourblind people. I have trouble with the SVG, however: I can just slightly see the greens (U, Cm, and others), but in part because I know how the table should go in general: I expect to find them on the less extreme side of the yellows. I know that there are two colours of reds, and I can slightly tell the difference between Db and Rf, but I can't be sure otherwise. Since you brought up the SVG, could that be redone also? Perhaps have the lighter shade of red turned a little darker, and the darker made into brown, maybe the darkness of the purple? Nyttend (talk) 13:21, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you redo the SVG then please upload under a new name since the current one is used on other Wikkipedias. /Lokal _Profil 19:29, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think you could suggest hex codes for colours from a page like [this]? I'm struggling with your colour words because they don't quite match what I'm seeing on the SVG and PNG files. The colours from the key in the PNG/SVG file are the following:

stable — #4545FC (PNG, similar to royalblue #4169E1), #00FFFF (SVG, aqua)
long decay — #459798 (PNG, similar to seagreen #2E8B57), #00FF00 (SVG, green)
low health hazard — #F9F398 (PNG, similar to khaki #F0E68C), #FFFF00 (SVG, yellow)
high risk — #FF7E45 (PNG, similar to coral #FF7F50), #FF6600 (SVG, similar to darkorange #FF8C00)
highly radioactive — #fd0045 (PNG, similar to crimson #DC143C), #FF0000 (SVG, red)
extremely radioactive — #a52a2a (PNG, brown), #804080 (SVG, similar to darkorchid #9932CC)

[note: similar colours are my own matching from that link, based on visual + RGB value similarity, which will probably be quite different to yours]

Wouldn't it look bad in full screen mode if it was IE7? §hep ^Talk 02:43, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not quite sure what you mean by full screen mode -- you could mean the browser's full-screen mode, or when viewing the image alone. If the second one, you'd only be able to compare properly if you right clicked on the image and just viewed that. The wikipedia preview will be displaying a different GIF image from the original picture. Also, I've just noticed that your preview image (1280 x 735 pixels) has a different size from mine (800 × 459 pixels). It's possible that the nearest neighbour interpolation being done with the GIF image is causing the ghosting to happen... but I still don't get any of the artefacts you've observed after setting my wikipedia preferences to allow 1280x1024 image preview limits (changing my image preview to 1280 x 735 pixels). gringer (talk) 10:38, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Moon from Keele Observatory
PNG version, levels adjusted

Articles: Once cleaned, could be used in Moon, astrophotography and Keele University articles.

Request: I was wondering if anyone would know how to deal with the light border around the limb on the Eastern half Luna in this image, and also if anything can be done about the brightness rectangles - this is the first image I've ever stitched, and I did my best, but I'm sure someone with more experience would be able to make this image much better! :-) Thanks in advance, Colds7ream (talk) 22:09, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

The rectangle borders would be easiest to remove from the original sources. If you've got the original images, I'd suggest using hugin for stitching, because it does blending and exposure correction between images to remove the obvious rectangles (a bit tricky to get the hang of, though). You can usually do something like this blending in an image editing program by using a softened eraser on the edges of the top layers. Despite this, that's an impressive stitching for something that's just layered and brightness-adjusted. gringer (talk) 00:50, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks! :-) I'll give that software a go, then, and see what I can do! Colds7ream (talk) 07:41, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I gave it a go, and, as you can see, the resulting image is much better! Thanks for the advice! As a result, all I'd like done is the removal of the brighter sections around the limb of the Moon, if anyone would be kind enough to do so for me. Colds7ream (talk) 16:13, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The banding is probably a result of what JPEG compression does to high-contrast boundaries (which means it may be able to be dealt with via a huge PNG file), but I'll see what I can do about that. gringer (talk) 22:58, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Given that the PNG file wasn't too big, having a similar size to your original JPEG, I've uploaded that to commons. I also adjusted the curves to make the moon surface fit into a black/white gradient. The annoying thing is that the JPEG version of the thumbnails seems to accentuate the craters, which can be quite a nice effect. I suppose now that the outer region is brighter, any ring on a JPEG version would be less obvious. gringer (talk) 23:33, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of the two pngs you uploaded, I think I prefer the first - its less washed out and has less of a 'comet tail' than the second... Colds7ream (talk) 16:01, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, have reverted back to the first PNG. Would you prefer some other modification? gringer (talk) 02:57, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that's brilliant! Just wondering if the slight comet tail effect could be eliminated from that picture too, because otherwise it's perfect! :-) Colds7ream (talk) 14:02, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, not quite sure what you mean by 'comet tail effect'. Could you please explain? gringer (talk) 02:29, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to still be a part of the original light banding in the dark area to the west of the terminator, when the image is fully zoomed in? Colds7ream (talk) 14:37, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about that? Now that I look at it again, I see that I was a bit too aggressive with the clipping/erasing of the dark region on the left hand side. gringer (talk) 00:28, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have done a bit less aggressive clipping, and blurred the border. This gives a slight 'atmosphere' on the bright side, but makes the black/dark grey transition much less obvious. gringer (talk) 00:41, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
