Request: remove distracting watermark... Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 13:22, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
- This is not a watermark! It's a part of the original picture, and I think it should stay there. Orionist talk 14:27, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
- I agree on this one. Fallschirmjäger ✉ 21:27, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

correction
Article(s): MC Hammer
Request: I am not sure if the pink streak across the lower part of the stop sign is actually part of the sign, or a weird lighting effect from photographing it. Either way, though, the streak is distracting, and so I request that the pink streak be removed. Thanks! SchuminWeb (Talk) 19:28, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

- In the description of image we can read: "Vandalized stop sign at the Brunswick MARC station in Brunswick Maryland." So, I think, the pink strip shouldn't be removed. PawełMM (talk) 07:31, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
The description means that somebody wrote "Hammer Time" a catchphrase of MC Hammer on the sign, which attributed to vandalism. The pink strip has got nothing to do with this Finemann (talk) 07:51, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for fixing the pink streak. SchuminWeb (Talk) 13:42, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Request: please dewatermark, I'm sorry for the mess, if I could do it myself, I would have before uploading... Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 10:42, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Done: Done all images as requested. PawełMM (talk) 15:15, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
- That's a lot of hard work, thank you so much!--Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 16:14, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hmm.. I've decropped that one. I've also redone the magazine one, but Commons won't let me upload over, because it doesn't seem to realise the source and what not is already there.. I can email it to some one if they want to take a shot. - Kingpin13 (talk) 17:11, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Portrait of William-B. Kurtz

color changed to the old version

another suggestion by Orionist
Article(s): List of works by Thomas Eakins
Request: I uploaded the first version of this painting last year. Today, I got a much higher resolution scan of this painting. But, if you compare the new version of this painting (above) to the old version, the color balance in the new version is a bit off, and the new version has a spot on his forehead that shouldn't be there.

Graphist opinion(s):
Done: Done as requested. PawełMM (talk) 23:26, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
- PawełMM did the right thing by uploading the new image separately. Photography of artworks is very tricky, and it seems to me that the original colors could be either one of these. I haven't seen this painting in person, so I can't tell for sure. Hopefully Raul654 does. Regards -- Orionist ★ talk 17:54, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
- I haven't seen the original painting firsthand because it's not in a public collection. It's owned by Daniel Dietrich II. I've asked Mr. Dietrich through a mutual friend if I can photograph his collection, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.
- Regardless, though, I'm not totally satisfied with PawełMM's version. This version (the old low-res one) seems to be exactly what we should be shooting for. The high resolution one I uploaded (above, left) has over-saturated skin tone; PawełMM's version has the right skin tone, but the rest of it looks washed out. Raul654 (talk) 05:28, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
- There are two color changed versions. The second one is a bit little washed out. Please, compare with [1], if it is better - you can return to it. PawełMM (talk) 21:00, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
I hadn't noticed PawełMM's first uploaded version. That is exactly what I was looking for. I've tweaked it (photoshopped out a couple of dark specs that shouldn't have been there) and re-uploaded. Raul654 (talk) 21:34, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
- Well, it seems you guys have solved it while I was working on another version! I uploaded my suggestion above, where I also cropped the intrusive remnants of the frame. I kept de-saturation to a minimum to keep the rich colors captured in the high-res image. What do you think? -- Orionist ★ talk 22:00, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
- I like it a lot. Great job. Raul654 (talk) 00:42, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
