'''Article(s):''' [[New York State Route 57]]

'''Request:''' When the first pic is rendered at thumbnail size, the text in the marker is only faintly visible because the green and white are (I guess) dulled by the shadows. I also took a closeup pic of the marker; however, in this case the marker is too bright, making it near-illegible again. Is it possible to modify the pics so that the markers look a bit more natural (like [[:File:NY 47 reference marker on NY 590.jpg|here]]) and are more legible? – <span style="background:lightblue; border:1px green solid; padding:2px">'''[[User talk:TwinsMetsFan|<font color="red">T</font>]][[User:TwinsMetsFan|<font color="#0000C0">M</font>]][[Special:Contributions/TwinsMetsFan|F]]'''</span> 17:08, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

{{Done}}: The second (closeup) file enhanced. [[User:PawełMM|PawełMM]] ([[User talk:PawełMM|talk]]) 13:54, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

:Is there any chance of the first being improved? Of the two images above, the first has a better chance of being used in the article if improved. – <span style="background:lightblue; border:1px green solid; padding:2px">'''[[User talk:TwinsMetsFan|<font color="red">T</font>]][[User:TwinsMetsFan|<font color="#0000C0">M</font>]][[Special:Contributions/TwinsMetsFan|F]]'''</span> 09:21, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

::{{Done}}: I tried to improve the first. Do you like it? [[User:PawełMM|PawełMM]] ([[User talk:PawełMM|talk]]) 08:00, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

:::It's certainly better than it was before. I'm not the biggest fan of it, though, because now it looks like the marker has a spotlight shining on it. Would it be possible to lighten up the entire foreground? If not, I went out to Clay last week and took a picture of another marker that we could work with (in another request, of course). That photo's lighting situation is much more straightforward than this one's is. – <span style="background:lightblue; border:1px green solid; padding:2px">'''[[User talk:TwinsMetsFan|<font color="red">T</font>]][[User:TwinsMetsFan|<font color="#0000C0">M</font>]][[Special:Contributions/TwinsMetsFan|F]]'''</span> 01:12, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Since this was untouched for so long I had a quick go. It's a pretty awful scan to begin with, and I've been fairly aggressive with it - so the result is probably not the best. &nbsp;[[User:Begoon|<font face="Arial" color="#0645AD">'''Begoon'''</font>]]&#149;[[User Talk:Begoon|<font style="color:#808080;font-weight:bold;">talk</font>]] 16:09, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

'''Request:''' straighten, trim to oval... [[User:Kintetsubuffalo|Chris (クリス • フィッチ)]] ([[User talk:Kintetsubuffalo|talk]]) 00:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

That's straightened based on the lettering, since the geometry of the thing is all over the place. If you try to straighten based on the cutouts, the lettering runs uphill and looks wrong. I had to lose the outer white band when cropping, because it's not present all the way around, and I also cleaned and brightened it a bit. &nbsp;[[User:Begoon|<font face="Arial" color="#0645AD">'''Begoon'''</font>]]&#149;[[User Talk:Begoon|<font style="color:#808080;font-weight:bold;">talk</font>]] 08:08, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

:Danke schön! And thank you for the headsup on my talkpage, my Wiki this week has been sketchy. Pesky job...--[[User:Kintetsubuffalo|Chris (クリス • フィッチ)]] ([[User talk:Kintetsubuffalo|talk]]) 18:44, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

::Ah, see I even made that template for notification, because there was one for Illustrations, but not one for Photos, so I like to use it to nag you dilettantes who take more than 2.67 seconds to respond to my efforts.
