:I am not sure what zoom level you are seeing these at but this is a pretty small resolution to be working with in jpeg so it will have some compression artifacts that will be compounded by PP. If you are referring to noise then I am afraid that really you need to take a better picture to begin with, noise is a side effect of lifting detail out of such shadow unless you are using an expensive camera body at a low ISO. I can add noise reduction but it will lose you some detail. It should be easy enough to shoot this on an overcast day.

:::I am afraid you are mistaken. I did not boost the red color of the car at all. I performed a shadow lift, which would have made more visible compression artifacts and lack of information in the shadows that were already present. Hence "it will have some compression artifacts that will be compounded by PP". If the car appears more red in my edit it is because it is was converted to the correct sRGB color profile for the web and now appears correctly in your browser. If the car now appears the wrong color then the color was incorrectly captured by the camera or was shifted by whatever editing originally resulted in the image becoming AdobeRGB. The fact of the matter is that it is impossible to pull enough shadow information out of such a poorly lit, underexposed shot that has been saved with both such high jpeg compression.

'''Request:''' hi, i was wondering if anyone here would be interested in creating a simple SVG image. I'm terrible at making them. After not really getting any help by leaving messages to users on Wikipedia, i ended up here.
So the image i'm looking for is very simple. I'm looking to get a black flag, with a white circle in the middle of it. It doesn't really get any more than that - its supposed to be similar to [[:Image:TUGS Flag.svg]]. The image is shown in the top of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tugszak.jpg this image], as well as the far left of [http://biggcity.tripod.com/imagelib/sitebuilder/misc/show_image.html?linkedwidth=actual&linkpath=http://biggcity.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/character_bio.jpg&target=_self here] and middle right of [http://biggcity.tripod.com/imagelib/sitebuilder/misc/show_image.html?linkedwidth=actual&linkpath=http://biggcity.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/description.jpg&target=_self here]. I understand its hard to see but if anyone could help me even the tiniest bit that would be amazing :D
I figured it should be around the scale of normal flags, i think its 4.5:3? that may not be true. The image is to be used on [[Template:TUGS]] as well as a userbox along the same lines as that, which i've not yet made.
Again, if anyone could help me, that would be amazing.

There are various shapes of shield (see [[Escutcheon (heraldry)]], but on most it doesn’t matter. The only government link seems to be [http://www.dfa.ie/home/index.aspx?id=78084 here] (the Irish embassy in Argentina of all places!) and that shows the same shape. Unless it is evidence of a specific shape, then usually the creator of the image has free reign.
As for the black line, I really don’t think it matters. Unless it is defined in the [[blazon]] (formal description) of the arms, it is the opinion of the once again the graphic's creator as to whether to add a boarder or not.
The representation of a coat of arms is really up to interpretation of the blazon, for example all of these show three yellow lions on a red field (the arms of England), but all do it differently.

*Specifically, enlarging the peak labels (N1, P2, etc.) would help it show up better at 100x100px resolution. —[[User:Politizer|Politizer]] <small><sup>'''[[User talk:Politizer|talk]]'''</sup></small>/<small><sub>'''[[Special:Contributions/Politizer|contribs]]'''</sub></small> 19:14, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
'''Graphist opinion:''' It may be <s>easier</s> better just to redo the image. If you can give me some of the data points, I can remake the chart and it will be an SVG. I'm going to try without any information and see what I can do. By the way, the DYK is really cool! [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 15:32, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
::*Unfortunately, I don't have the data; it's not my graph, it's just something I found on commons (originally from wikibooks), and there's no information saying what it's a graph of or anything. Do the data points have to be exact, or can you estimate things? (Sorry, I'm not super familiar with how vectorization works.) —[[User:Politizer|Politizer]] <small><sup>'''[[User talk:Politizer|talk]]'''</sup></small>/<small><sub>'''[[Special:Contributions/Politizer|contribs]]'''</sub></small> 15:43, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
:::*How's this ([[:File:ComponentsofERP.svg]])? I just traced it instead of making a new graph. I can make any line/data/point/other stuff changes that you'd like. [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 16:20, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
::::*Looks great. I think the title "The components of event related potentials" should be removed since it can always be explained in the image caption. -- [[User:Suntag|Suntag]] [[User talk:Suntag|<b><big><span style="color:#FF8C00;">☼</span></big></b>]] 16:28, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::*Done. Do you want to replace all the instances of the original GIF with the new SVG or do you want me to do it? [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 16:39, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::*Thanks. Go ahead and replace them. It's Politizer image, but I think it seems finished. -- [[User:Suntag|Suntag]] [[User talk:Suntag|<b><big><span style="color:#FF8C00;">☼</span></big></b>]] 16:46, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::* (ec) That looks great; I've gone through and replaced all the original GIFs. Is it possible to enlarge the labels (N1, etc.) so that they're readable at 100px? (If not—ie, if 100px is just way too small anyway—then it's not a huge deal).

:::::::*Oh, I just noticed an error... the new label says "miliseconds" instead of "milliseconds"...can that be corrected without too much work?

:*Whoops, sorry, I didn't even see your comment when I pushed the Save page button. I need some coffee... I'll change the size and correct my silly spelling error in just a few minutes. I know this image is all over wikispace (WikiBooks, Commons, and the 'pedia too) so can you replace/redirect/link those images to this new one? Or do I need to upload it to all of those different spaces? I can edit the images but I'm not super-great at getting them where they need to be. Thanks! [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 16:52, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
::*I should be able to do that...I don't use commons or wikibooks a whole lot, but I have an integrated account or whatever, and I assume "what links here" works the same everywhere. I've already done the replacements at Wikipedia, at least. When you change the size and spelling, that will be reflected in the same image, right—I won't need to change the links that I've already changed? —[[User:Politizer|Politizer]] <small><sup>'''[[User talk:Politizer|talk]]'''</sup></small>/<small><sub>'''[[Special:Contributions/Politizer|contribs]]'''</sub></small> 16:55, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
:::*Yep, the changes I've just made should be reflected globally over Wikipedia. However, you may need to upload again to wikibooks and commons if you uploaded before I made the changes. I'm not exactly sure about the second part, but I know Wikipedia will be OK. [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 16:58, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
::::*Ok. I think probably the easiest thing is for me to wait until after you've finished making the changes, and then after that I can upload it to commons and speedy delete the one here; once it's at commons I think it should be usable everywhere. —[[User:Politizer|Politizer]] <small><sup>'''[[User talk:Politizer|talk]]'''</sup></small>/<small><sub>'''[[Special:Contributions/Politizer|contribs]]'''</sub></small> 17:02, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::* '''Don't speedy delete!''' It's important to have the image trail so we can see where every image on Wikipedia came from to preserve the GNU license. The changes are done, by the way, and I've added a comment on the DYK talk page letting others know that too. [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 17:04, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::*Oh, ok! Phew. Normally once I move an image to commons then I'm told to delete the one at WP...so does that mean I shouldn't take this one to Commons, or is there some sort of special tag that can say "yes there's a duplicate of this on Commons, but we need to keep this one here as well")? Maybe I should ask the copyright/licensing people? (by the way, the new version of the image looks great; thanks again!) —[[User:Politizer|Politizer]] <small><sup>'''[[User talk:Politizer|talk]]'''</sup></small>/<small><sub>'''[[Special:Contributions/Politizer|contribs]]'''</sub></small> 17:13, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::*Yeah, I'd ask someone else who knows a little more. Maybe I'm wrong. I think this is a special case: we have it originally from Wikibooks and then it was transferred to the Commons, and then to Wikipedia, and then back to Commons... Why don't you post something on the Admin's noticeboard? [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 18:22, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::::*I asked at AN, they said it can't be moved; so I just put a link on the commons page to this one, under {{para|other versions}}. I think that about covers it... thanks for all your help! —[[User:Politizer|Politizer]] <small><sup>'''[[User talk:Politizer|talk]]'''</sup></small>/<small><sub>'''[[Special:Contributions/Politizer|contribs]]'''</sub></small> 19:33, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

'''Article(s):''' [[Robert M. La Follette, Sr.]]
'''Request:''' A really weak image, this could really benefit from being strengthened in some way or another. Is there any way that the signature itself could be made stronger and a higher contrast with the background? [[User:Nyttend|Nyttend]] ([[User talk:Nyttend|talk]]) 15:48, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
'''Graphist opinion:''' I changed the brightness and contrast, and replaced the original file. Feel free to revert if it's not a step in the right direction. [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 16:36, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
:Definitely doesn't hurt :-) Changing the brightness and the contrast helps: the point was to make the signature stand out more from the paper, which it does better now. Thanks! [[User:Nyttend|Nyttend]] ([[User talk:Nyttend|talk]]) 19:06, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
::One more thing, though: you can see the last few letters of a typed word in the top left corner. Could those please be removed? [[User:Nyttend|Nyttend]] ([[User talk:Nyttend|talk]]) 19:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
