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. — raeky T 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)

Request: Can anyone do anything about the brightness on the top left corner? I've tried, but I can't really do anything, so that's why I'm here. Thanks in advance! Connor mah 00:50, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

Assuming you're talking about the bright patch on her hair, level/curve adjustment doesn't seem to help because the highlights are overexposed. Fixes will probably need repainting of that area. It's annoying that the entire section of hair with that angle is too bright, which means a straight clone can't be used. gringer (talk) 02:25, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

I had a go anyway. I duplicated the layer, clipped out an area of good hair, rotated that area to fit over the highlight, adjusted colours to fit with surrounding area, and erased the edge to make the fit a bit cleaner. It's still an obvious modification, and I wouldn't consider it much of an improvement (if any). Feel free to upload improvements over the top of that one. gringer (talk) 02:51, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

I was playing with this at the same time - so here's my effort. I took a different approach and selected the highlight areas with a threshold mask, feathered the area, then painted them with a darker hair colour to create an adjustment layer. It's at about 50% opacity here, and I have the source file, so I can increase or decrease that if you think it's any good. Increasing it too much starts to get noticeable, though.

That photo of a sign is MOST LIKELY a copyright violation being a derivative work of a 2d artwork that is likely copyrighted. Therefore the SVG is a derivative work of a copyrighted work. I've marked both of these for deletion on Commons. — raeky T 05:45, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Request: When the first pic is rendered at thumbnail size, the text in the marker is only faintly visible because the green and white are (I guess) dulled by the shadows. I also took a closeup pic of the marker; however, in this case the marker is too bright, making it near-illegible again.

Done: I tried to improve the first. Do you like it? PawełMM (talk) 08:00, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

It's certainly better than it was before. I'm not the biggest fan of it, though, because now it looks like the marker has a spotlight shining on it. Would it be possible to lighten up the entire foreground? If not, I went out to Clay last week and took a picture of another marker that we could work with (in another request, of course). That photo's lighting situation is much more straightforward than this one's is. – T M F 01:12, 1 September 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) Begoon^talk 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)

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) Begoon^talk 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)
