Article(s): Deportation of Armenian notables on 24 April 1915

Request:

Okay, this may be a longer task than usual. I hope editors here are up for a bit of a challenge. First off, remove the Armenian captions beneath the photographs. Now...as you can see by the caption of the photograph here, the people in the collage must remain. But their photographs should be replaced by the ones on this website. Also, please add their names as captions beneath each photograph of the intellectuals (remember the names are found here). There's two missing spots, so please add Kegham Parseghian and Jak Sayabalyan from above or the website itself, it doesn't matter since they're the same picture. Please remove the last two people, Tlgadintsi and Yerukhan and replace it with Khachatur Malumian and Levon Larents. Also, while you're at it, please improve the quality of the photographs as well. NOTE: All the photographs in the website are in PD since they are original photographs of a 1919 publication (link to publication). I also added Jak Sayabalyan's and Kegham Parseghian's photographs above if that will be of any additional help. I will greatly appreciate it if someone took up this task since the article is being nominated for FL. Please feel free to ask any questions. -- Proudbolsahye (talk) 06:49, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The images were increased in size to 200% using Photoshop CS5 (Mac) running PhotoZoom Pro 5. As the original image files are quite small and low resolution there is not much to work with and so this is about the best that can be done with them if you want them enlarged like this.

Can someone add some color to this?

I'm unclear by what you mean by "adding" color to this image or why you are requesting this. I suppose I could add some level of sepia toning to this what appears to be a noncommercial contemporary "snapshot" monochrome (B&W) image but I do not see the point to that or how it would improve it. If you are asking to have it fully "colorized" I do not see the point in that either as it would not in any way contribute to (and it fact could even be considered to diminish) the historical impact of the image, and any such colorization would also be speculative (and thus unencylopedic) as there is no way to know what the "true" colors were of the scene. There is nothing at all wrong with B&W images to illustrate events such as this, and in my view any "colorization" of this image (either by "sepia" toning or converting it to "full color") would add nothing to its impact or value as a vehicle to illustrate this event and could even detract therefrom by making it appear artificial.

Oh dear.

I made and uploaded a proper version of the one above with the same background as this one which was inexplicably then replaced by another editor by the faulty version with blobs of yellow. I have reverted that to my original corrected version which is identical in character to the Dionysius one. Centpacrr (talk) 00:17, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

With this image, I took your cleaned version and desaturated it, as Kintetsubuffalo requested. Normally you treat the requestor as the ultimate arbiter. Shame you couldn't do the same this time. nagualdesign (talk) 00:24, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The request to "desaturate" to me does not mean NO color to me, but that the color should be less intense and even to match the apparent original medium from which it was derived. The OP was not the original uploaded of this image so I wanted to leave the color as close as possible to the original for authenticity. Your version of the Irish seal left large yellow blotches whereas mine gave it a even colored background which better reflect the original. Centpacrr (talk) 00:34, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Neither of these images began life with a beige (or pink) background. And it doesn't matter what you think the word desaturate means, in the world of graphic design it means only one thing: zero the saturation. Even if you were asked to slightly desaturate the image, there's no reason to introduce colour that wasn't there! Get a grip Centpacrr, you're not fooling anyone with your silly excuses for having done a half-arsed job. As for the Irish seal above; ditto. nagualdesign (talk) 00:45, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have converted both files to ACTUAL grayscale images and uploaded them. I also cleaned my cache and then redownloaded your version of the Irish crest and it is still filled with yellow blotches. The color I had "introduced" was to as closely as I could match the base backgound color of the original files. Centpacrr (talk) 01:07, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So basically, with this image, you've now done exactly the same as what I did in the first place, which you seemingly took great offense to? What a waste of hot air. Merry Christmas, buddy!

nagualdesign (talk) 01:18, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No I converted both files to actual grayscale files (yours are both RGB files) and uploaded them as I did not feel like carrying on this circular duscussion any further. The Irish file that you had uploaded still has yellow blotches in it which both the OP and I saw, and which also appear in it when opened in both Photoshop and Graphic Converter as well. It also does not match the original file or any other file that might have been in my cache, and still appears after purging my cache. So perhaps it is your monitor that needs to be adjusted.
