'''Request:''' Please crop the images tightly in order to get rid of the distracting background. --[[User:Leyo|Leyo]] 13:43, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

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

But I feel that these backgrounds are not very distracting and the crop is just perfect, execpt the third one, any other say. --'''[[User:Extra999|<font color="black">Extra</font>]] [[User:Extra999/Guestbook|<font color="black">999</font>]]''' ([[User talk:Extra999|Contact ^me]]) 14:46, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

:In the one in the middle for example only the powder is of interest, not the metal tray and surely not the strangely colored background. --[[User:Leyo|Leyo]] 16:31, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

::First, these images are of very low resolution so any playing with them won't turn out so well. Second, the backgrounds are not "distracting" in my opinion. And third, ain't no way I would crop the middle photo to the little pile of powder. It would look just plain silly. In all three instances, if you want better images, the solution is not to clumsily force these images to your idea of more acceptable, the solution is to find better images. &ndash;&nbsp;[[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 18:08, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

:::Perhaps the first 2 images would benefit from having their backgrounds desaturated? Not sure what would help with the third. Maybe cropping a bit off the bottom. [[User:Nagualdesign|nagualdesign]] ([[User talk:Nagualdesign|talk]]) 22:28, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

::::{{Done}} as stated. Feel free to revert. These images ''are'' pretty poor to start with, especially [[:File:Radon.jpg|Radon.jpg]]. Hopefully I haven't made them any worse. [[User:Nagualdesign|nagualdesign]] ([[User talk:Nagualdesign|talk]]) 23:10, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

:::::I have to admit... you improved them without making them worse. Good work :-) &ndash;&nbsp;[[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 23:35, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

::::::I agree. Thank you. --[[User:Leyo|Leyo]] 06:55, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
