I want to edit this photo (from the original in File:Franz Kafka in 1923 (sepia version).jpg) with a better image editor. Kafkafan55 (talk) 23:03, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Probably best to leave it in greyscale. Abzeronow (talk) 00:37, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I will do that. I'm just going to use a better image editor to do the same work it was done to the image. Kafkafan55 (talk) 10:40, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the source from which the image was taken there is another image of higher quality and showing the sculpture in its entirety.

Hello, For the first file, I corrected an error : the replace the argent color by an or color, like this source : https://armorialdefrance.fr/page_blason.php?ville=1088

For the second, I fixed the display problem of the top thing in svg. Source : https://armorialdefrance.fr/page_blason.php?ville=15303 FL00 80 (talk) 12:37, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The source for the first file shows a street sign that roughly matches the current file, while the historical usage does suggest gold is correct rather than silver @Kontributor 2K: thoughts?

In the description of the first file, the author tells the color of the panel has faded due to the sun.

I not directly request overwriting, but instead allow overwriting to me, Abzeronow you should revert the file to the version of 7 May, 2024 because I noticed with the crop made, it has reduced the resolution of the file, we can clearly see it with details on the red color. And the crop made is almost the same that the original that change nothing about less blank spaces around the file, but reduced the quality resolution as I said at the beginning of the message. Thank you. Mimosapong (talk) 19:25, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Abzeronow, at the related article, the file is too compressed like the file in Walmart; in Walmart they added the line: | logo_upright = 1.2 next to logo line to be easier to view, that's what should be too for this logo to the related article due to extended number of letters like Walmart logo and sun design next to letters.--Minosapong (talk) 16:04, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The current document on Commons has four redundant pages, two each before the foldouts after page 726/300 and 732/308, respectively.
