The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps.
This specific page is the requests page for the photography workshop. Anyone can make a request for a photograph to be improved for a Wikipedia article. The standard format for making a request is shown below, along with general advice, and should be followed.

Advice to requesters

All requests:

  • Please make sure your request is "legitimate" 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|Example.png|caption|align=left}} to create a link to it. Do not add the File: 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 need 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.
  • Per our non-free content policy, vectorization of copyrighted images is not permitted. If a vectorized non-free image is desired, seek out such an image from the copyright holder.

Extract legible inscription from portrait of Phineas Gage

  • Original portrait
    Original portrait
  • Detail derived from portrait
    Detail derived from portrait

Article(s): Phineas Gage

Request: If some kind wizard would help me with this I'd be so very, very grateful.

  • See Phineas Gage#Portraits and the Notes section just below it to see the original portrait, and the detail image I extracted from it, which is meant to show the inscription but doesn't do a very good job.
  • I created the inscription detail by (1) rotating the portrait a few degrees clockwise (so the tamping iron is exactly vertical) then (2) cropping it down to just the tamping iron.
  • I believe that the rotation fuzzified the image substantially -- I probably used come crude software, don't remember -- so that the inscription is much less legible than it could be.

What I'm hoping is that someone can redo the creation of the inscription detail so that the inscription is as legible as possible -- use brightness changes, contrast, color, anything in the toolbox that will help bring the lettering out.

Other points:

  • If it's not possible to do the rotation without impairing the legibility of the inscription, then un-rotated would be best. That means the image will be wider but that's OK if it means better legibility.
  • The length of the detail image I created was cropped vertically to the portion that was at least arguably legible. If your techniques make a larger portion legible, then crop less. "Legible", for this purpose, should be very forgiving. For example, if a person wouldn't be able to read a section of the inscription just by looking on his own, but could make it out with the assistance of the transcription (Phineas Gage#inscription) then that section of the inscription should be kept. Maybe after (possibly) rotating, then applying whatever other corrections you find help, you could crop it to just the tamping iron horizontally, but the entire length of the tamping iron vertically -- it can always be further cropped vertically later, to suit however it will be used. (I hope all this makes sense.)

Thanks! It will be thrilling for the reader to be able to make out the words for himself. "This is the bar that was shot through the head of Mr Phinehas P. Gage..." EEng (talk) 04:47, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    My version (original is here [1])

Article(s): Buda Castle

Request:

This is the only pre-war coloured image I could find of the castle. I tried some work from the original source to make it look as if it was taken today. Maybe someone else can do a better job than me? What needs to be removed in any case are the black marks on sky, water, etc. And the tint is somewhat bluish, but I noticed that if I removed the bluish tint, it made the trees look browner again. Thank you very much. -- Gryffindor (talk) 09:50, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded an attempt. Is that any closer to what you were trying to do? Feel free to say it isn't - we can always try again... . Begoon talk 12:24, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think it looks great. Unfortunately the new image is now cropped, could you upload a version where the 10x15 dimensions are restored? Thank you. Gryffindor (talk) 14:03, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I actually thought that was a better crop from the original, which I had to go back to to regain the quality - more castle, less sky - but if the 1:1.5 ratio is important to you, and you prefer it cropped where you decided to crop it, I can redo it. Begoon talk 14:42, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes please, if you don't mind? Thank you for your help. Gryffindor (talk) 15:31, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ok - done - I also brightened the shadows a little, because those trees that "came back in" are very dark - but that's the very last edit, so you can just revert that if you don't like it. Begoon talk 15:57, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
