'''Request :''' Hello graphists. I found this image, SVG, which should be better in wikipedia if changed into Blue. Several kind of blue or grey will be better for Wikipedia than this current rainbow. [[User Talk:Korrigan]] 03:20, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
:Hey, what the f*** ? I did '''not''' make this request, which comes from [[User:Yug]]. The original image (copyrighted, from which [[:fr:user:Historicair]] made this picture) was actually in shades of blue and grey which made it hard to read, which is why I asked for better colors. Please Yug, don't post requests on behalf of other users, especially when it doesn't express their views :-( [[User:Korrigan|le Korrigan]] [[User talk:Korrigan|<sup>''bla''</sup>]] 12:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

:I've uploaded another cleaned-up version [[:Image:Haeckel Discomedusae 8 cleanup2.jpg|here]] made in the GIMP. What I did was I first constructed a crude mask of the figures, scaled down the image and used the Resynthesizer plugin to remove the figures. I then scaled the resulting "blank page" up again and inserted it as a new layer in "divide" mode, thus removing the shadows and the paper color. I also selectively blurred a copy of the page and, using the difference of the blurred version and the "blank page" as a mask (after levels adjustment), combined the blurred version with the original so that the background was blurred but the figures stayed crisp; this got rid of the dust and paper grain in the background.

::Yeah, Resynthesizer is useful, thanks for that tip (though it's pretty CPU/RAM hungry). The latest image would probably look better if its black levels were corrected. (the "2" for instance is pretty faint for being black) I tried doing basically the opposite thing (generate a black mask to multiply by), but Resynthesizer stalls. --[[User:Interiot|Interiot]] 12:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

*[[Tooth enamel]], [[Dental caries]]
'''Request:''' Honestly, I am not sure what is the best way to improve this photograph, but a different background and removing the shadow if possible may improve things. Again, I am not sure how feasible it would be to change the background, or what background color would be best. My worry is that too light a color (white) would make it difficult to distinguish the borders of enamel, but I have not seen many images with a dark background. My first intinct would be to suggest a light blue background, but I willingly would defer to a graphist's suggestion. Thanks in advance. [[User:Dozenist|Dozenist]] [[User talk:Dozenist|<
'''Graphist opinion:'''
Line 589:
A transparent background should probably be the best. Even if we generally think of theeth as white they aren't often really white, and this one isn't for sure. I don't think a white background should cause any problems in this case. However, a near-black background is probably advisable if the request is to make that thooth look white.

:Like I said, I am ''very'' open to suggestions since this is not my area of expertise. I know most teeth are not truly white, but my worry (which may be unfounded) was that the top edges of enamel may be too translucent for a white background. Nonetheless, I am glad you do not think that is the case, and any magic you all can do on this picture would be much appreciated!!!! - [[User:Dozenist|Dozenist]] [[User talk:Dozenist|<

:::It looks great! Much, much better than the original picture. Thanks a ton..... and, I promise not to take any future photographs with a pink background. Trust me, it was a long time ago and pink wax was the closest thing I could find that would would contrast the tooth.

'''Request''': This map, used in a featured article, is not in the SVG format. To remedy this problem, perhaps someone could use this blank map [[:Image:Gb4dot.svg]] as a starting point. Thanks in advance! --[[User:Zantastik|<
'''Graphist opinion:''' I've created this SVG from the map you suggested, but the areas of slate are not shown in very high resolution on the original, and so probably won't be particularly accurate on the SVG.
