'''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 find the colored image just fine myself, but since you asked, I made [[:Image:Child labour gray.svg]] for you. It was a trivial change, anyway; the hardest part was uploading the new version. —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 12:20, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
::Thansk for your image Ilmari, I added it to the gallery. I also made 2 others trivial versions :]. I made them according with the mapping convention. For such topic (Work of children), I think the best one to illustrate the article is the Alternative 3, with red gradiants.

: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)

: I tried to get the transparency to look nice in the GIFs but couldn't get rid of the aliasing effects. Instead, I've replaced the images with PNG versions (and will delete the originals as orphan fair use).
