Request: reverse finished badge and original artwork, so images are "before" and "after"... Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 12:58, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- These are probably all copyright violations as derivative works, even one is up for deletion as such. — raekyT 05:55, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, they're probably not copyright violations as derivative works, based on the discussion for that deletion, this is a local event, and unlike national emblems which really are copyrighted, it is both probable that the uploader had a hand in the production or creation of the badges, and that the design was not registered. This would explain why the uploader has both the original artwork and the finished badge. I know this is OR on my part, but I have designed dozens of badges and did not register any of them, as they are for temporary events, a weeklong camp, a training session....--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 06:23, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- Actually it is, see my comment in the deletion discussion. — raekyT 06:24, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Request: Could we possibly have the German removed and a nice uniform background? Best to upload separately so as to not annoy any foreign wikis :) J Milburn (talk) 23:47, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): I uploaded these as Hedgehog sting in SEM, 20x en.GIF and Hedgehog sting in SEM, 200x en.GIF Begoontalk

Request: reduce flash effect in background... Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 10:46, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
Done: I have removed the whole background. I find the image more appealing this way, if you want it done as you originally requested, or any further modifications made, contact me. Feel free to revert also. Fιηεmαηη (talk) 15:17, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
- You're right, that's great! Thank you!--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 17:11, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
- No flash was used for this photo, by the way. -- C. A. Russell (talk) 14:45, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Mir

Request: Hi folks, I'd like to use this image as the new main image on the Mir page, and I was wondering if someone would please be kind enough to give it a brighten and general clean-up before I do? Many thanks, Colds7ream (talk) 17:41, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): As nobody else tried yet - here's an attempt. If you think I've overdone it desaturating the blue in the globe, just say, I've kept the source file, so easy to change, and it's a separate adjustment to the highlights on the station itself. (in fact there are a couple less aggressive in the history of the 'edit' file) Begoontalk 14:29, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, but the new files seem more... Blotchy? As for saturation, etc., if you could make the new file as close as possible to the first, lo-res version of the original file, that's what I'm looking for. :-) Colds7ream (talk) 15:23, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
- Ok - plan 'B', then - here's just a colour correction to start with. If that's what you're aiming for, we can clean up the noise on that. Begoontalk 15:55, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
- Lovely - thanks! Would it be possible to warm the colours up, and de-noise it? :-) Colds7ream (talk) 16:30, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
- I've added some red, done some cleaning up/noise reduction Begoontalk 18:38, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
- Could the image be warmed up even more? I'm hoping for colours similar to these, if possible: [1] Colds7ream (talk) 17:40, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
- Here is a version that attempts to move in that direction (stronger correction is in file history) Begoontalk 06:50, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- Right; I'm really sorry about this - I'm faffing about. Getting closer, so let's try this; the highlights on Kristall and Priroda should be somewhere around Ivory (color), and the orange docking module should be somewhere around Orange (colour) and Burnt Orange (color). The sky should be a bit darker, too. Does that help? Colds7ream (talk) 11:24, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

- That's ok. I think I've been looking at this too long now - seeing things that aren't there. I swear I saw a spacewalker a minute ago... new version uploaded. Begoontalk 13:02, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- Much better! Thanks! If you could just remove some of the red and inject some blue into the sky, I think that's it! :-) Colds7ream (talk) 13:38, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- New version. Begoontalk 14:14, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- ...and that'll do nicely! Many thanks! :-) Colds7ream (talk) 09:15, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Request: straighten, transparent, and fix green cloisonne chip... Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 08:27, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
Done Begoontalk 09:10, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you! Can anything be done about the artifacting?--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 09:35, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- I had already "touched up" a few obvious defects (like the bar between yellow and red which was totally mashed in the original, and a couple of other things). - I've done a bit more noise reduction and uploaded a new version - but I don't really want to go much further in case it is detrimental. Begoontalk 10:37, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- Much better, thank you!--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 06:02, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Request: I don't know, it just seems to me the plaque fades into the surroundings... Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 10:38, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
Maybe it looked more like the edit above? Or... maybe not - I have no way of knowing, but the overall blue "ambience" is, I think, what makes it appear to disappear, so to speak. Begoontalk 11:49, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- I think that's much better, thank you!--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 12:14, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Feel free to revert if you think that's too aggressive, but I think what I removed was junk... Begoontalk 13:14, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- Beautiful, thank you!--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 13:16, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Request: At minimum, remove the power lines from the sky above the US 20A shield. If the power lines in the background (underneath the shields) could be eliminated too, that'd be much appreciated, but I understand if it can't be done. – TMF 01:17, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Not absolutely perfect under the sign, but how's that? Begoon•talk 03:35, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
