::Mainly the shadow under the brim of his hat that obscures his eyes. If anything could be done to reduce the shadow on his legs, I think that would benefit as well. As to why, Randy Johnson is one of the all time greats, and as you can see on the file's description page, this image is used on a lot of pages that talk about his impact on the game. Further, although I'm only starting to read into it, I wonder if reducing the shadow would make this a featured picture candidate. – [[User:Muboshgu|Muboshgu]] ([[User talk:Muboshgu#top|talk]]) 13:39, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

::::I forgot about this one and quickly tried to lighten the face.

:::::The full file size doesn't affect how fast an image loads in an article. Thumbnails are generated which are separate smaller versions of the main file. It is these smaller versions that appear in the article, not the 4MB full size original. Even the image page itself (the page you get when you click on a thumbnail) uses a large thumnail (for large images) rather than the original image.

Once an image file has noise introduced into it, you basically have two choices... noisy or blurry. The most common method for "fixing" a grainy image is to apply some manner of smoothing filter to it. Noise is smoothed away (more or less), but now it's blurry. Personally I don't think that's an improvement so you won't find me doing it much. It's like painting a face on a horses ass. It's still a horses ass... only now it looks like someone tried to paint a face on it. So my advice is to either deal with the grainy photo... or look for a better one.

Well, the license on those is awfully sketchy; unless you can prove that they're definitively free-use and not fair use (and since they were taken from an outside source, free use is not entirely likely because the photographer has copyright even though the coins themselves are PD-1923) I'm not touching them.

::One of my favorite quotes is ''"Rules are for when the brains gives out."'' If we followed the rule of thirds exactly, we would have lopped off the top of the main dome. If we bent the rules and used the main platform of the structure as the horizon, the photo would still be cropped right at the top of the main spire. Personally I don't think that would look so hot. So we fiddle and adjust and come up with something that looks generally pleasing... not too high, not too low, not to far and not too near. And exactly centered, which I believe makes a big difference. This was the result. (The photo was already rotated to perfectly level and was taken from the precise center of the scene... that makes a big aesthetic difference as well.)

'''Request:''' Requesting that the text be removed and a reasonable amount of space around the image be maintained. Because of the text removal, the background would either need to be restored, or replaced entirely. I believe the background is already not original to the photo, so your call, I suppose. Thanks!

{{Done}}: Left the red background... thought it looked rather nice. A simple single color would probably be more encyclopedic, but who says we can't be stylish from time to time? Also, the original image had a "shadow" (probably photoshopped). Reproducing such a digital shadow, while possible, is not something I can do with any competence... so I didn't try.

::I have restored my original illustration which contains text that identifies what it is and why it is significant. SchuminWeb, having someone alter an image to materially change its meaning -- ''especially'' doing so "behind the back" of its creator and original uploader -- is totally unacceptable behavior and again shows an apparent lack of understanding of how WP is meant to operate as a community, not a fiefdom. If you had some issue or question about this illustration (not "photo"), you knew perfectly well that I created it as you had just moved it to Commons (along with many of my other images) and also how to get in touch with me.

:::Working through some [[WP:OWN]] issues, Centpacrr? [[User:SchuminWeb|SchuminWeb]] ([[User talk:SchuminWeb|Talk]]) 02:50, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
:::Centpacrr, I understand why you would put the descriptive text in the image. Your intention is good. However, it is preferred that any descriptive text go into an image caption or the image description page rather than the image itself. This is for a few reasons... it makes it easy to translate that description into multiple languages, it makes the text available to search engines, it makes the description easier to change or update, etc, etc. Given those considerations, I think you'll agree that text based, rather than image based descriptions are the way to go. By all means, add pertinent information to the image description page. It would also be helpful to add a few categories to the description page as well. This way the image gets grouped with similar or related images. [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta|talk]]) 03:11, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
::::I think SchuminWeb sees it as a teapot, and Centpacrr as a poster. Centpacrr is the uploader. As an admin here SchuminWeb could show an example of tolerance and collaboration. Proposal: JBarta can upload his version as a derivative on Commons, and SchuminWeb can revert himself. I think we shall all benefit from this. Peace. [[User:Materialscientist|Materialscientist]] ([[User talk:Materialscientist|talk]]) 03:20, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
:::::My issue here is that this materially changes the illustration by deleting text that identifies the teapot as being from the ''original'' Palace Hotel and thereby obscuring its meaning and significance as being a very rare "survivor" of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire which destroyed the 1875 Palace. This is not a matter of [[WP:OWN]], but instead restoring what, as its creator, I consider to be an essential part of the overall illustration (as opposed to a "photo") which identifies what it is if and when it is used ''outside'' of Wikipedia. I might add that significant changes were also made to the artistic elements of the illustration by altering the background which have nothing to do with the text. What I also object to is the way that SchuminWeb went about this. He knows perfectly well who created the illustration, but instead of contacting me with whatever concern he may have had he instead went behind my back and had it modified without having any idea of why it was the the way it was. It is arbitrary and unilateral behavior like this that eventually drives editors away from contributing to WP as being not worth the aggravation. [[User:Centpacrr|Centpacrr]] ([[User talk:Centpacrr|talk]]) 03:37, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
:::::: Centpacrr, you're hanging on to the notion that descriptive text ought to be in this image. It's really not a useful thing to hang onto. And how someone might use an image ''outside'' of Wikipedia has no bearing on how images should be used ''inside'' Wikipedia. Also, you mention "artistic elements" outside of the text. I assume you mean the shadows, etc. It would be supremely useful if you would recreate that image with those artistic elements, but leave out the descriptive text. That certainly would be better than my edit. That combined with your description on the image description page (and adding categories) would be ''very'' useful, completely in line with WP policies and certainly wouldn't be objected to by anyone.

*Apparently you have not read ''either'' this illustration's description on the file's host page or its caption in the gallery. This new illustration is meant to show ''three'' things, not just one. It illustrates: 1) the "crest" of the original Palace Hotel; 2) the logotype the original hotel used, and; 3) the individual silver service teapot from the original Palace Hotel. This is ''not'' an "unencyclopedic" illustration as all three of these elements could legitimately have their own ''separate'' illustrations in the gallery, but as they are related I have combined them in a single illustration. With respect, sir, it is your constant interference in this matter that has become "disruptive" editing, and your behavior towards both [[Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_files/2011_November_7#Concluding_comment|me]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SchuminWeb&diff=next&oldid=459811729 other editors] constitutes ''exactly'' the kind harassment that drives good contributors away from the project. This is not only unacceptable when practiced by regular editors, but is ''especially'' egregious and oppressive when it comes from an Admin. Remember that WP Admins are the ''servants'' of WP's editors - not their ''masters'' - and as such they are held to a higher standard of accountability because of the powers they have been entrusted with by the community."

And throwing a fit suggesting you might take your ball and go home if other editors don't play by your rules is a whine older than the hills. It doesn't do you any service.

I also own the ___domain [http://thepalacehotel.org ThePalaceHotel.org] (which is registered to my d/b/a "Cooper-Clement Associates" aka "CCA") which hosts my non-commercial, freely available on-line illustrated history of the Palace Hotel which has been up since 2003 and which currently contains more than 125 historic images and illustration as well as a brief written history of all three Palace Hotels that have been in San Francisco. The purpose that I have built and maintained this free site for more than eight years and at my own expense is ''also'' to share the many items about this iconic historic hotel from my private collections which are not otherwise available to the public. Any illustrations that I have uploaded to WP which appear on that (or other non-commercial history sites which I may have permitted to use them) were all created from scratch ''by me'' alone and thus I am their copyright holder.

In addition, I believe you're adding to the problem by suggesting there is no right or wrong, can't we just get along, and goodness, we don't want to upset this editor because he may pack his bags and deny WP his valuable services. Reading some of his talk page archives, this sort of thing seems to be an ongoing issue with this editor. He has carved out his own little playground on WP and is eager to defend it.

::::*Odd how he lists it as coming from the Cooper Collection... If he were to upload higher resolution images, or images that don't seem to be derivative works of online files, the copyright issues would be much clearer. Regarding the teapot, the logo itself should be PD (hotel was founded over 100 years ago). However, the image of the teapot itself must be taken by the photographer; derivative works of PD three dimensional works of art are still propriety to the photographer. Perhaps he owns the copyright to the files recently deleted, but as he does not upload high resolution files and the images are located on copyrighted websites, he has a heavy burden of evidence to show it. [[User:Crisco 1492|Crisco 1492]] ([[User talk:Crisco 1492|talk]]) 01:30, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
I do not upload ''high'' resolution versions of my own images and illustrations to WP because I am contributing them for the purpose of web viewing ''only''. I generally upload my own images at roughly 600 to 1,000px wide which is more than adequate for that purpose. I do not freely license high resolution versions to WP (or anywhere else) as I am not interested in having third parties exploit them to make high quality prints for profit.
As for the original teapot photograph from which the crest/logotype/teapot illustration was created, that was also taken be me as were every other image (other then historic PD ones) that I have contributed to WP. Despite the unsupported claims of SchuminWeb, none of my uploads have been derived from the non-free works of others. As for other sites on which my work appears, all of those sites (other than WP) either belong to me, belong to my family, are social networking sites like Facebook, are railroad history photo sites like NE Rail, or the images have been filched from one of my sites without my knowledge or consent.

Just to add information for anyone following this discussion, Centpacrr has uploaded a [[:File:Original Palace Hotel (SF) crest, logotype, & teapot.jpg|duplicate of the above teapot image]] and has substituted this new file into the article.

:The reason I have done this is that it is a ''different'' illustration -- and has a different name -- then either my original illustration or the one the others replaced it with. In addition to the teapot the new illustration contains the original Palace Hotel's "crest" as well as its logotype in order to illustrate all thee of these related items in one image as opposed to making three images. (The crest in the new illustration is the same as the crest on the teapot which is very hard to make out.) The earlier image is called "Palace Hotel Silver Teapot c1900.jpg" and as far as I am concerned that Commons file can be deleted as obsolete. The new illustration is called "Original Palace Hotel (SF) crest, logotype, & teapot.jpg" and is very different from the plain one of just the teapot that SchuminWeb keeps reverting the Commons file to.

What on earth do you have against simply uploading a simple image of a teapot without all the fluff? People do that everyday on WP... they snap a picture of something and upload it. Images full of added crap like yours often get deleted or modified as being unencyclopedic. I realize you're trying to [http://digitalimageservices.com/restoration/DIS_14/index.html make a buck], but WP is not an advertising vehicle nor a showcase for your artistic skills.

A) I am ''not'' being duplicitious here. I uploaded the ''new'' version with the ''new'' name to en.Wikipedia when SchuminWeb again reverted my new one on Commons to the teapot alone image. After I reverted it back to the new one on Commons, I then decided to just upload the new version on en.Wikipedia with the new name so that people who visit it know that it is intended to illustrate three things, not just one. I put the three elements in one picture because they are ''related''. The crest on the teapot is almost impossible to make out so that is why I added the detailed version to the illustration. The original Palace Hotel logotype identifies where the teapot came from. Please tell me exactly how you think that is "unencyclopedic". ([[WP:UNENCYC]] actually says that ''"Unencyclopedic" is an '''empty argument.''' It means "not worthy of being included in an encyclopedia", which is synonymous with "should not be included" or "I want it deleted". So when you use it as a justification for deleting something, it's a circular argument: "Delete, because it should be deleted". This is just repeating yourself. What we want to know are your reasons why the article shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Simply answer the question, What guidelines does it violate, and how?'')
:I read [[WP:UNENCYC]] and it seems you're correct. "Unencyclopedic" is not a valid position. Further I've found no specific guidline that is violated by this image ''as it is now'' other than my charge of self-promotion/advertising which you refute (though I noticed in the [[:File:Original Palace Hotel (SF) crest, logotype, & teapot.jpg|new image]] you snuck your website URL back in after Materialscientist removed it from the old image).

::[[Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions]] is a non-policy essay, i.e. the musings of one or more editors. Considering that our purpose here is to build an encyclopedia, "unencyclopedic" is a perfectly valid reason for deletion for locally-hosted images that are not used on userpages, because there is no reason to keep an image around on en.wiki if it is unsuitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia.

:::Thank you for pointing out the difference between essay and policy. Would you agree that "unencyclopedic" is largely a subjective judgement?

[[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta|talk]]) 19:06, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
B) I'm sure lots of folks just "snap a picture of something and upload it" but that does not make for high quality illustrations. Why one thinks "snapshots" are good and "high quality" is crap is beyond me.
C) As I have said several times before -- DIS has not been an ''active'' online business since before I even heard of Wikipedia, and I have not accepted any online business for it for more than five years.
D) And finally this is ''exactly'' what I meant by the kind of thing that drives good contributors away from WP. Having to spend hours "defending" my contribution of a single illustration in a gallery of twenty from a gaggle of wikilawyers just isn't worth it. Why should I put up with all this just because I am willing to share with the community an image of a rare historical artifact without being called "duplicitous", "disruptive", a "vandal", a "plagiarist", and who knows what else?

Also, the logos you placed on the teapot image are valuable, though personally I would prefer simple high quality black and white images (a high quality png with a transparent background would be especially welcome.) I understand you have ideas of what makes a good encyclopedia image, but keep in mind that others have ideas as well. Sometimes it's good to defer to other ideas if you think they are better ideas. If you don't, well then you don't. [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta|talk]]) 09:07, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

I really don't know how I am being "difficult" and/or "unbecoming" by contributing at no charge an illustration that I created. This is the illustration you asked for and linked to above with some of the background trimmed away.

I disagree. I think the shadow gives the crystal dimension and mass. I think it's fine just the way it is. And being a featured picture on both en:WP and commons, not to mention a picture of the day, I would argue the WP community in general also likes the image exactly as it is.

'''Response:''' The crest of the version presented is the 2nd Empire: Emperor Dom Pedro II. And yes the two scepters are provided. Another point: the imperial crown of Brazil has green cloth. The red version're spread coat is an adaptation of the Crown Prince of Portugal (Prince of Brazil), designed by the painter Jean-Baptiste Debret, which was later replaced by the Imperial Crown of Brazil, this one in green cloth as the flag of the Empire of Brazil on display at the Imperial Museum of Petrópolis.Another source that can be used in reference to the color of the fabric is available in the carriage of the Emperor Dom Pedro II exposed in the same imperial museum.

I'm curious... I see two uploads from you minutes apart on Nov 9. The first was the original at 3.92 MB, then you overwrote it with seemingly the same file at 1.12 MB. Is there any difference between the files other than resaving at a higher jpg compression? Also, the stated [http://www.wrongsideoftheart.com/wp-content/gallery/posters-p/plan_9_from_outer_space_poster_01.jpg source] of the image is different than your upload. You modified the original before uploading it? I ask because your uploaded version is pretty heavily contrasted compared to the source. And lastly, since we already have a nice image of [[:File:Plan nine from outer space.jpg|this movie poster]] that is used in the article, why would we bother screwing around with this one?

:Thanks, don't know if its possible but does anyone think they could try to make the blurring less prominent? thanks [[User:D4nnyw14|D4nnyw14]] ([[User talk:D4nnyw14|talk]]) 11:41, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
::All in all, this is a rather poor photo of a person for use in an infobox. The blurring (caused by someone very close to the camera being caught in the picture) is merely a minor secondary issue. Hopefully a better photo can be found. To directly answer your question... *anything* can be done. The real question is, is the improvement really worth the time and effort? From my perspective, regarding this particular photo, the answer is no. (Of course, others may feel differently and fix it up as you wish. Good luck.)

'''Request:''' Tilt-correct. If possible, touch-up the blown highlights on the bottle and mug [[User:Crisco 1492|Crisco 1492]] ([[User talk:Crisco 1492|talk]]) 01:37, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
'''Graphist opinion(s):'''Fixed tilt but I'm unclear about what you mean by "blown highlights". [[User:Centpacrr|Centpacrr]] ([[User talk:Centpacrr|talk]]) 03:30, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
:*The pure white caused bhy the flash reflecting off the condensation. I think that's what it's called. [[User:Crisco 1492|Crisco 1492]] ([[User talk:Crisco 1492|talk]]) 23:20, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
:::Once a part of an image has been blown all the way to pure white (255,255,255) there is no detail to recover. It's just one solid color. Sometimes there is some faint detail that can be enhanced, but in this photo, such as the handle on the mug and the brightest bits of reflection, it's simply pure white. Lost or desired detail would need to be redrawn or cloned. The white bits of reflection would need to be edited out. In some areas this is not a problem. In the more complex areas such as the label, it may be more trouble than it's worth. Verdict... unless someone wants to dig into a photo of a beer bottle for a while, we'll just have to live with it as it is. It's really not so bad.

:::*Yeah, it's a decent shot from a midrange camera. No need for anyone to go overboard cleaning up the blown highlights, wouldn't matter anywhere except FP. [[User:Crisco 1492|Crisco 1492]] ([[User talk:Crisco 1492|talk]]) 10:00, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
:::::On a number of occasions I've seen requests to improve an image with the intent to make it featured picture worthy. Personally, I think this is largely a waste of time and a poor allocation of volunteer time. The standards for a featured picture are pretty high and a featured picture usually starts off being a great image rather than an average image trying to be great. I think it's far more useful to take faulty ordinary images and improve them to an encyclopedic standard rather than rummaging around for decent (but average) images where we might make miniscule and tedious improvements for no other purpose than *maybe* having a shot at a featured picture tag. [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta|talk]]) 11:49, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
::*Agreed wholeheartedly. I generally do basics (cropping and colour adjustments) myself before uploading, but a couple of things like getting rid of distractions in the background are beyond my capabilities.
