'''Article(s):''' [[Mir]]

'''Request:''' '''Watermark removal''' Hi folks! I've got this image of the interior of ''Mir'', which was taken on [[STS-84]] and as such is a NASA public ___domain image. Unfortunately, as NASA isn't exactly hot at updating its pages about old missions, it's not very high-res. There's a higher-res version of this on the ''Life'' website [http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/a162f11d307f233a_large here], but unfortunately it's got a watermark on it (it's printed in Hall, R. editor. The History of Mir 1986-2000. London: British Interplanetary Society; 2000 without the watermark). If someone could please download a copy of the ''Life'' image, remove the watermark and upload it over the lower res image, I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance, [[User:Colds7ream|Colds7ream]] ([[User talk:Colds7ream|talk]]) 14:49, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion(s):'''

:{{done}} Removed the watermark and uploaded it as a new image (besides being higher-resolution, I don't find the ''Life'' image to be that much better). —[[User:Quibik|Quibik]] ([[User talk:Quibik|talk]]) 16:58, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

::Thanks very much - why didn't you just upload it over the old image, though? :-S [[User:Colds7ream|Colds7ream]] ([[User talk:Colds7ream|talk]]) 17:10, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

:::Sorry for not adhering to your request. IMHO the ''Life'' version, while being higher-resolution, is somewhat blurry and not that much clearer. Also, its color balance and contrast look much weaker to me. So I would use the NASA version in an article (where it is downscaled anyway), but keep the ''Life'' version as a larger alternative. —[[User:Quibik|Quibik]] ([[User talk:Quibik|talk]]) 18:07, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

::::Fair enough! Thanks again for sorting this out! :-) [[User:Colds7ream|Colds7ream]] ([[User talk:Colds7ream|talk]]) 18:14, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

:FYI I have a tool for automatically removing the LIFE watermark with little to no damage - contact me if you ever need this. [[User:Dcoetzee|Dcoetzee]] 03:37, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
