Great stuff, as usual, thanks! (Was going to also ask if my hand, at top left corner to get shade on the lens, could be removed but I didn't want to push my luck....) André Kritzinger 21:53, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Can't say I spotted that, actually, but I've cloned it out by assuming that what's next to it continues unchanged to the edge. It looks reasonable to me, but if it's not acceptable please feel free to revert.  —SMALLJIM  10:24, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect! You're a wizard! André Kritzinger 11:53, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Hm, maybe I'm imagining, but I still get the impression that the perspective is from above, the lower parts of the plaque looks smaller than they should be. Also the top of his head looks huge compared to the rest of his face...? Gryffindor (talk) 14:26, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize, but according to my opinion all is well. The proportions of image are correct. The dimensions of sides top-bottom and right-left are even. The head of person is written in circle. PawełMM (talk) 14:57, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pawel, thank you very much for helping me out. However, I'd like to request you these: could Joaquim Nabuco's photo be more sharpen? Also, could you make the background in the signature transparent? Thank you again, --Lecen (talk) 13:10, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  Redone: Redone as you requested. The first one file was sharpened a little, but I could'n do more, becouse of very bad source file. PawełMM (talk) 16:29, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  Version from Life

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 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, Colds7ream (talk) 14:49, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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). —Quibik (talk) 16:58, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

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. —Quibik (talk) 18:07, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

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

Request photoshop sand over left and right lizards

  New image

Article(s): state reptile

Request: The middle lizard is the correct species. Left and right are wrong. Want to hide the wrong species. I think photoshop sand over them. Since it needs to go into a table list, cropping would lead to too bizarre of an aspect ratio that would make photo too long. P.s.
