'''Graphist opinion:''' I had a go at it, I used the other Burma peacock, if it should be blue instead of green let me know. On a side note I hope something is up with the ImageMagic stuff, because all of the SVGs I see are really jagged. <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Stepshep|§hep]]</font> • <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User talk:Stepshep|¡Talk to me!]]</font> 22:47, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
:I think it is supposed to be slightly bluer, but that is splendid thus far! It seems every new government changed the color. [[User:Kintetsubuffalo|Chris (クリス • フィッチ)]] ([[User talk:Kintetsubuffalo|talk]]) 05:04, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:'''
:Since you are the photographer I would recommend retaking the photo with better lighting (preferable many light sources to reduce shadows). If you can't retake the photograph for some reason then please give a shout and someone might be able to whiten the current version. /[[:User:Lokal Profil|Lokal]][[Special:Contributions/Lokal Profil|_]][[:User talk:Lokal Profil|Profil]] 16:13, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

'''Article(s):''' [[Neacşu's Letter]]
'''Request:''' Please try and make the text more visible, if possible remove the shadowing too (not that necessary as the text though). I have already asked [[User:Fir0002|Fir0002]] for some help, but he hadn't that much time, and was only able to do minor improvements to the image, so he directed me here. There are some sections, particularly in the center shoadow, where just changing the brightness won't do much (manual fixing is needed). -- [[User:Diego pmc|diego_pmc]] ([[User talk:Diego pmc|talk]]) 06:23, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
'''Graphist opinion:'''
Wouldn't it make sense just to leave it the way it is? It "is the oldest surviving document available in Romanian," so shouldn't it look old and be unreadable? -- <sub><span style="border:1px solid #aaa;padding-left:4px;padding-right:4px;back:#000;white-space: nowrap;"><font face="Calibri">[[User:Tkgd2007|TIM KLOSKE]]|[[User_talk:Tkgd2007|TALK]]</font></span></sub> 22:17, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
:The problem is that it's unreadable because of the shadow, and not because of the writing. [[User:Diego pmc|diego_pmc]] ([[User talk:Diego pmc|talk]]) 05:51, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
::Done. Thank you for the reference image, it came in very handy as an overlay for the text. I uploaded over the original so don't forget to refresh. Let me know what you think, it can still be changed. [[User:XcepticZP|XcepticZP]] ([[User talk:XcepticZP|talk]]) 11:07, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
:::It looks great! I would have one last request, but do it only if it can be done fast - the image is very good as it is. Could you try to adjust the contrast a little so that the whole text have the same color as in the lower right corner of the unedited original? Many thanks again! [[User:Diego pmc|diego_pmc]] ([[User talk:Diego pmc|talk]]) 14:19, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
::::Ok I tried it quickly. When I put it to the colour you asked it blends with the background too much and thus becomes illegible again. [[User:XcepticZP|XcepticZP]] ([[User talk:XcepticZP|talk]]) 15:26, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
::Anyway, thanks again - you've done a great job. [[User:Diego pmc|diego_pmc]] ([[User talk:Diego pmc|talk]]) 18:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
