Deep Throat restoration

What about the hands? You did a fine restoration job, but I think it would be even better with a nice hand job as well. JBarta (talk) 22:13, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, in all seriousness, while the restored image is certainly of higher quality and higher resolution than the small image, I think the small image is a nicer picture for the article. It has the hands extending above the top border and the feet resting on the T. It looks like this restored poster was simply a re-working of the smaller image. JBarta (talk) 22:24, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I do agree that the smaller version looks much better (aside from the quality, of course). It's a fair use image though and the only justification for using FU images is that no free alternatives exist... so, that won't work. About the hands: I considered adding them, but I didn't like the idea of combining two (very different size) images to create an ugly franken-poster. You may of course add them, if you feel like it. I'd have nothing against that. However, the best option would be using a proper version of that image, if possible, like this one. The pre-70s US copyright notice system is not too clear to me, though. Could someone (Crisco 1942, I'm looking at you) please confirm or refute that image's public ___domain-ness? —Quibik (talk) 23:09, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Pre 1977 US work with no copyright notice = Public ___domain. I asked at MCQ a while back for the poster for Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, and they said it would be safe to assume that there will not be a copyright notice on the back of a poster. Any digitization of a 2-dimensional PD work of art is also PD, per Wikimedia's ruling. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:31, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the answer! I finally got around to uploading and cleaning up the alternative version. Here it is: File:Deep Throat poster 2.jpg. —Quibik (talk) 17:17, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Since the ourside of the image/poster is white, do you think it a good idea to give it a one or two pixel light gray outline to set it off? I did that once for a magazine cover and it turned out pretty well. JBarta (talk) 23:15, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I like your idea, but I would rather use CSS to accompish this. Luckily, {{Infobox film}} already has a border parameter which does exactly what you described. —Quibik (talk) 12:37, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The CSS solution is an idealogical rather than practical solution. The CSS solution sounds nice, but is not always available (the gallery above being a perfect example). The old fashioned way works just as well, works every time, works everywhere, is dead simple and doesn't require anything more from the editor. JBarta (talk) 22:42, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I added an 8px-wide border to the image. —Quibik (talk) 01:41, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

There is a copyright issue with that file that should be resolved first. Besides, it's a piss poor photo that serves no useful purpose. That image should really be yanked from the article. JBarta (talk) 15:32, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and removed it from the article myself. Apparently this image has been deleted at least once before (under a different name) for copyright issues. It was just an eyesore in the article (my opinion). JBarta (talk) 15:44, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Please remove the watermark.Andres rojas22 (talk) 23:26, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

This version is better and easier to remove watermark from. If Quibik is around, his extraction of the original jpg from the zoomable preview would help a lot (I can get high-res version, but can not guarantee it is the original jpg, and here the higher resolution, the better). Materialscientist (talk) 00:51, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You probably had the Dezoomify script (this, for anyone wondering) in mind. Unfortunately, Allposters.com does not use Zoomify, so that script will not work. I did find an alternative way to retrieve a reasonably large unwatermarked version. It is slightly blurrier than the watermarked version, though, so combining these two versions is a good idea. I wrote a JavaScript script (a bookmarklet) that gets both the watermarked and unwatermarked large images, in case anyone might want to get any other images from there: 
javascript:r = /http:\/\/imagecache5d\.allposters\.com\/watermarker\/([^.]+)\.\D+(\d+)\D+(\d+)/.exec(document.body.innerHTML); if (!r) {alert("Failed to find the link. Sorry.");} else {window.open(r, Math.random()); window.open("http://frame.allposters.com/frameimagehandler/universal/frameimage.jpg?frame=[FAP:0+PRT:[PRW=" + r[3] + "|PRH=" + r[2] + "|PIP=\\" + r[1].replace(/-/g, '\\') + ".jpg]+QLT:101+MXW:" + r[3] + "+MXH:" + r[2] + "]", Math.random());} void(0);
And another one for art.com, since it is pretty much the same website: 
javascript:r = /popHighzoomImage\(([^,]+),([^,]+),[^,]+,'-?([^.]+)/.exec(document.body.innerHTML); r2 = /http:\/\/cache2\.artprintimages\.com\/p\/LRG\/([^\/]+\/[^\/]+\/[^\/]+)/.exec(document.body.innerHTML); if (!r || !r2) {alert("Failed to find the link. Sorry.");} else {window.open("http://imagecache5d.art.com/watermarker/" + r[3] + ".jpg", Math.random()); window.open("http://frame.artprintimages.com/frameimagehandler/universal/frameimage.jpg?frame=[FAP:0+PRT:[PRW=" + r[1] + "|PRH=" + r[2] + "|PIP=\\" + r2[1].replace(/\//g, '\\') + ".jpg]+QLT:101+MXW:" + r[1] + "+MXH:" + r[2] + "]", Math.random());} void(0);
Simply execute them from the browser's address bar on an image description page. —Quibik (talk) 01:20, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! There is some difference between yours and watermarked version, perhaps also in color levels. For this image, the difference in sharpness/pixelation is too small (that I would bother with removing watermark and combining them :-). Materialscientist (talk) 01:44, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I probably should have been more clear. By "combining these two versions is a good idea" I meant the two images that are opened by the script: a clean one and a watermarked one. Or am I misunderstanding you? —Quibik (talk) 02:03, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Restore - correct misalignments, fill in gaps with blank map, and maybe restore a bit of lettering? I did a temporary cut-and-paste job to correct the worst misalignments, but I lack skill to truly restore the map. I can try for a slightly clearer scan if that will help, but the original image in the book I scanned from has these defects and I don't have access to the original.

Cropping

  Resolved

Article(s): List of Silent Hill, Silent Hill 2, and Silent Hill 3 characters

Request: The bottom row of panels as well as the logo and the panels on which the logo lies (the one with the person wearing a cap and the one at its left) need to be cropped; the bottom row and the panels with the logo depict characters who aren't covered by the article. Also, the third row should be moved a little to the right after the crop, to be uniform, so that there are gaps both left and right, not only right. Hula Hup (talk) 21:24, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

I'm finding your instructions a little confusing. Which rows/images do you wish to KEEP? – JBarta (talk) 01:01, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: The whole first and second rows, and from the third row keep only the 4 panels from the left (this means that I'd like the 2 far right panels, which are covered by the logo, to disappear). After this crop, there will be a gap to the right of the third row, caused by the disappearance of the 2 far right panels; I'd like the third row (which, by then, should only contain the 4 panels from the left) to be moved a little to the right, so that there are 2 gaps equal in size to its left and to its right, not just one to its right. Is it possible that the gaps will be black in color to match the black background or I'm asking too much? Hula Hup (talk) 02:03, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  Done: Removed the characters you requested and rearranged so that everything is even and spaced out nicely. Hope it works for you. – JBarta (talk) 15:21, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm very afraid this is not what I requested. The characters are messed up now; in the original version of the image, the first row had the characters of the first game in the series, the second row had the second game's characters, and the third row had the third game's (the ones covered by the logo and the fourth row's didn't belong to any of these 3 games, that's why I wanted them to be gone). If you could (without changing the character order) repeat the same process, but magnify the third row after the crop to the point that it is even with the first and second rows, instead of creating 2 gaps to the left and to the right, I'm done. Hula Hup (talk) 20:38, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It didn't occur to me that they were in any particular order, sorry. I gave it another whirl. Does that do it for you? – JBarta (talk) 21:37, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect. Thank you very much. Hula Hup (talk) 21:42, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
