Done Cropped, also cleaned and colour adjusted. I've uploaded it as a jpg (smaller file size) as I can't see any benefit in it being a png, but I'll upload another copy in that format if you want. —SMALLJIM 11:17, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Power line removal request

Request: Similar request to the one Kingpin13 did so nicely - this is a photograph of an historic 18th century house and tavern featured in Capt. Elisha Phelps House. If the power/telephone lines could be removed, it would look much nicer. If, in your view, it would be better if cropped, to remove the trees from the right, please do so.

Fridtjof Nansen - Smalljim's 2nd attempt
Article(s): Fridtjof Nansen (and others)
Request: Could do with some cleanup. Particularly problematic is the white splodge by his mouth, but the whole thing is a little dusty. Great featured picture candidate; will almost certainly pass with some cleanup. See currently open nom. J Milburn (talk) 11:14, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
Request taken by Vearthy.: I'll try to clean this up ;)
Ah - I'd already had a bit of an attempt at this, which I'll post anyway. I wasn't going to post a "take" until I'd seen what I could do. It's a huge file, so I concentrated on the "splodge" and the most obvious speckles when viewed at a reasonable size (about 30%). I'm sure someone might be able to do it much better, though. Begoon•talk 15:28, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
- As this is marked stale, I had a go at it. I've cleaned up all the "salt and pepper" spots and the scratches, also removed the embossed signature and adjusted the levels to suit my (semi-calibrated) monitor - I note it's quite a bit lighter than the other versions, but it looks good to me. Not sure about that one hair on his chin (visible at 100%): I thought it was the result of a bad shave, but I'm not at all sure now - any comments? —SMALLJIM 19:55, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
- It's far better than my rushed effort. The only comment I would have is that by "lightening" it quite that much there's a jarring (to my eye) glare on the nose and cheek. I actually feel the nature of the picture lends itself to tending towards darker. But as far as cleaning up goes. it's very good indeed, and that's the important part - the brightness is just a matter of taste. Begoon•talk 13:21, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the kind comments. And you're right about the glare - I've tried to tone it down in the revised copy now uploaded. The portrait does look good darker, but I think there's a balance to strike between an artistic rendition and keeping the shadows open, to retain detail in the fur, for instance. —SMALLJIM 19:08, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
- That's much better - sorry I messed with it - I hadn't cleared my cache when first looking at it - and edited the old version - I put it back when I realised my idiot mistake - it looks 10 times better now - great job. Begoon•talk
- Yup, the cache causes quite a few problems for graphics, doesn't it? I've notified J Milburn of the new version so he can decide if he likes it. —SMALLJIM 09:52, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): This is going to be a little difficult. The image in the black patch is completely missing and would have to be manually drawn. If it is that important, I could do it for you. But I would not want to do it unless its important. — Finemann (talk) 12:39, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
