:::I noticed Titan's text mentions 'bigger than the planets Mercury and Pluto'. As Pluto is no longer considered a planet, this "and Pluto" is best removed. --[[User:JorisvS|JorisvS]] ([[User talk:JorisvS|talk]]) 10:30, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

::::Yes - thank you for needing to alter the only bit of text that isn't on a black background :-) In spite of the fact that I am still in mourning for Pluto's tragic loss of planet status, I've altered that. To minimise any impact on the underlying image, and keep the line lengths similar, I rejigged the wording a bit, and added some harmless but probably unnecessary wording, just to pad, after removal of a chunk of text. If I could find the source image of Titan that was used here, it would help do this better (not that what I've done is bad - just I could tidy the paragraph better), and allow me to try and eliminate the box from the original I referred to above. It's really almost impossible to do that properly without the image, so again, after another couple of tries, I've left that alone - I don't think any noticeable patching of the biggest image is acceptable on a scientific montage like this - so I won't even attempt that again without the source. If you don't see the new image, you may need to refresh browser or bypass cache - I needed to, presumably because it's such a large file. &nbsp;[[User:Begoon|<font face="Arial" color="#0645AD">'''Begoon'''</font>]]&#149;[[User Talk:Begoon|<font style="color:#808080;font-weight:bold;">talk</font>]] 12:06, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

'''Request:''' Remove scratches & gold frame, maybe adjust black/white levels a bit. [[User:Scewing|Scewing]] ([[User talk:Scewing|talk]]) 21:55, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:'''

{{I take|Smalljim}}. I've partially restored this - see above. More work to follow. &nbsp;—[[User:Smalljim|S<small>MALL</small>]][[User talk:Smalljim#top|<small>JIM</small>]]&nbsp; 07:53, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

::Thanks for the hard work! [[User:Scewing|Scewing]] ([[User talk:Scewing|talk]]) 18:57, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

:::This has been an interesting one to do: the scratches on the face were the challenging part - I've taken it as far as seems reasonable without having to recreate any significant detail. It's also worthwhile noting that the photo is a mirror reproduction (as all [[daguerrotype]]s were). This is highlighted by the letters on the composing stick being readable - they would in reality be reversed to print correctly. I have no doubt that young Mr Clemens was aware of this. &nbsp;—[[User:Smalljim|S<small>MALL</small>]][[User talk:Smalljim#top|<small>JIM</small>]]&nbsp; 20:51, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
