Request: Can someone circle crop the figure on the right and make a png version of it? But leave this jpg version and crop it to the group photo, instead, and if possible recreate the portion covered by the circle in the process. Thanks.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:23, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):   Done on circle crop png version. --Jenith (talk) 04:16, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could you add a border around the circle or something and/or make the lines of her body more distinct? I can't make out anything in all that white.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 04:26, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just took a look at these at 100%. They might benefit from FFT filtering before any cropping is done. There is nothing to make out in all that white. Literally - there's nothing there. nagualdesign (talk) 04:53, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

..My browser must have been at 125% before. Viewed at 100% in Photoshop I noticed that an FFT filter will probably not help at all - this is a (no-good) 2-bit image. I recommend that you replace it with a better version. nagualdesign (talk) 06:21, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request: need grey background for the logo leave white center with soldier please thanks Vjiced (talk) 21:30, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why gray background? In addition, I found this and this which indicates the logo should be circular. On top of that, I believe there are copyright questions... you Vjiced are the copyright holder for that group's logo? You actually designed that logo? If not, then it's (possibly) a non-free file and cannot be on commons. – JBarta (talk) 23:27, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well i scanned it from a brochure they were distibuting everyewhere in town internet and emails so yes its free and must be on commons what do you want me to go ask the criminal group if i have A copyright over their logo ARE YOU NUTS ?Vjiced (talk) 17:45, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The folks who contribute their time and talents to the Graphic Lab project, Vjiced, do so gratis and to both assist others who need their help in this area as well as to develop the image collections on Wikipedia. Please therefore treat them respectfully or you will soon find that your requests will be ignored. Centpacrr (talk) 18:27, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well said, Centpacrr. Furthermore, "they were distibuting everyewhere in town internet and emails so yes its free" is a ludicrous statement. Logos and other copyrighted material are of course freely distributed (see brand) but they retain their copyright status. That said, you don't need a gray background, you need a transparent background. And perhaps the logo may be used on WP under fair use policy provided that it's low-res and is an accurate representation of a logo (ie, if it should be round it must be round to qualify for fair use). nagualdesign (talk) 18:37, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To spell it out, Vjiced, you have claimed that this is your 'Own Work' and that you are 'the copyright holder of this work', when if fact you have simply copied this logo and have no affiliation with Los Rastrojos. That about right? nagualdesign (talk) 19:18, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Centpacrr, chill out. He was asking a simple question, albeit in an exasperated way. I don't mind being called nuts, but if he starts mentioning mothers and army boots, you can then unleash some righteous indignation in his general direction. – JBarta (talk) 20:38, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vjiced, you didn't create the work and you don't own the copyright. That's settled. Now here's what you can do to keep the image... upload the logo (preferrably a round version of it) to en:Wikipedia (not commons) as a fair use logo of an organization. It's then available for use on en:Wikipedia with a few restrictions. Then request the commons image be speedily deleted. I realize this is a bit of work, but that's what is necessary to get that image into compliance so you can use it. If you need assistance along the way, leave a note on my talk page. – JBarta (talk) 20:38, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free file deleted from commons, re-uploaded to en:WP under fair use, is now round with transparent background. – JBarta (talk) 20:25, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The job on his face and hands seems a little messy...--KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:10, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He's done a decent job so far. Just a few more sittings and he'll have nailed it. Sometimes you have to stop, reflect and re-focus. nagualdesign (talk) 00:49, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 06:04, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did a little corrections. PawełMM (talk) 08:01, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Very good. 2 more pointers; The right edge of the image looks a little bit puckered in places, and the back of his left hand is a bit ..odd. Regards, nagualdesign (talk) 05:31, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  Redone: Background corrected and hand cleared a bit. Odd hand could you compare with original. IMHO it is nothing to do more. PawełMM (talk) 09:06, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bardzo dobry. :-) nagualdesign (talk) 09:24, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but one last thing could restore the backgroumd from your edit before. The current one doesn't look natural...--KAVEBEAR (talk) 16:15, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Background restored. PawełMM (talk) 17:21, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
