Request: The PNG is public domain (U.S. Gov). Looks ideal for converting into an SVG file. -- Kaldari ( talk) 23:55, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I've had a good go at this one, but the resolution of the image is simply too low to get anything usable. I've also had a look at the source but I can't extract anything from that of significantly better quality. If all you want is a very abstracted view of the main chambers only (the colored bits) it would be possible to create that from scratch. The fine detail underneath the processor, however, is virtually unreadable even when magnified. Debate 木 12:28, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Boy Scout Handbook
Request: cleanup image -- Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 16:20, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Since this is the current edition, it would probably be easiest for someone to just rescan their copy. This one looks weird because it's been laminated and exposed to some water. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the 11th edition, or I'd do it myself. I presume we can't just swipe amazon's image? — ʞɔıu 07:40, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Request: -- Yann ( talk) 21:31, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I tried to modify the first image for the moment. Unfortunately the the photographed picture is a reproduction print with a very visible halftone raster. I tried to get rid of it using selective gausian blur. What do you think? Unfortunately during the image upload an error occurred on Wikimedia Commons and your original picture disappeared from the history. If you do not have a copy I have it on my hard disk. -- pabouk ( talk) 15:42, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Request: I would like some SVG bar charts. Possibly in some of the formats found here: [1]. See the bar charts on pages 38, 39, 46. I want to use CNN's numbers and labels, though, as in the above chart. They make a lot more sense. "Quintiles" have been converted to income ranges. Percentages have been converted to dollar numbers. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 13:26, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I'll take this one. I'll do a gnuplot graph along the lines of the ones you suggest from the TPC report. — ʞɔıu 07:34, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
(unindent)Maybe income tax percentages would be better than actual dollar amounts. Since the change in tax rates as a range of percentages is much smaller than the dollar changes. Percentages were used in the bar charts on pages 38, 39, 46 of [2].
Maybe dollar amounts could be used if the table was broken up into 2 bar charts. One would cover the lower 7 income brackets. The other bar chart would cover the upper 2 income brackets. I think this would look good, and be easily understood without having to have a wide range in variation of length in the bars. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 12:57, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): Sarah Palin Request: Hi, this image is at the top of the article. As you'll see at the image page, it was created by cropping a much larger image, zooming, and sharpening. I did all this myself, but my software is crummy. Can you do a better job? Thanks. Ferrylodge ( talk) 01:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC) Graphist opinion: Would you object to a wider crop—closer to the lectern, maybe just above the sheet of paper she's holding, and all the way to her right shoulder?

(undent)Fvasconcellos, an editor has created another image that he thinks is better, though I disagree. What do you think? I've inserted the two images side by side (the one on the right is the current image in the article, as I write this). Ferrylodge ( talk) 03:49, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Request: Could you guys, like, vectorize them? I suck at SVG, so maybe if you give these two some TLC... Blake Gripling ( talk) 10:29, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: These are "Fair use" images. Vectorising them violates the fair use requirement for a low resolution copy since vector can be upscaled to any resolution. They will be deleted. Sorry, no can do. Dhatfield ( talk) 15:10, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): List of sets of countries that border one another
Request: These two images are fine, but we could do with a third to represent a third way of drawing shapes such that you can get four colours to border one another (per four colour theorem. That is, a circle split in to two differently-coloured regions horizontally, entirely contained within a concentric circle which is split into two differently-coloured regions vertically - similar to the two images we've got already but formed differently. It's far easier to get the concept across in an image than in text as you can perhaps tell.
If possible, it'd be quite useful if the remaining maps could be made as well, per the style used on that article for the examples cited. Thanks, Pfainuk talk 18:02, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): Electron configuration, Atomic orbital
Request: I think these all are of very low quality.. → Nitya Dharma / ? 13:19, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I agree that they're low quality and perhaps these should be SVG-ified, but I'll just mention that the images were created using Orbital Viewer which outputs to "TIFF, PPM, BMP, AVI, and VRML files." Also, it's Windows-only. So you won't be able to use the same source to generate the images.— ʞɔıu 13:33, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Ohio State University
Request: Our current logo is not an accurate representation of the official logo and I was told to "sofixit". I was wondering if one of the gurus here could help? Here's what we have now: Image:OSU.svg and it needs to be: http://afrotc.osu.edu/common/home_osu.gif
The background needs to be: PANTONE 200 or CMYK: four-color process formula: 0 cyan 100 magenta 65 yellow 15 black or Hexadecimal: #990000 or RGB values: 153, 0, 0 Thanks! §hep • ¡Talk to me! 21:22, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Honestly? Use the logo provided by the university, under fair use if necessary. Whoever made the SVG version did a great job, but it's just not accurate enough; the visual integrity of a logo is sacred! Color is not the only issue: the O in OHIO, for instance, has much more severe oblique stress in the actual logo (that is, the "axis" of the O is tilted much farther to the left; the stroke of the letter is thickest at the bottom left and top right), and the SVG's T · H · E and UNIVERSITY don't match the original—they should be set in Palatino, not hand-drawn. See if you can spot the difference in the "R". Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 15:14, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Anglo-Zanzibar War

Article(s): Hillsgrove Covered Bridge (FA)
Request: Could these be combined with HDR? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 23:50, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I just gave it a quick go and I am not really convinced the results will be worth it. The images are not well aligned and the +3ev (lighter) one has a color cast and washout from the blown sky which is running all into the bridge shadow area. I can post the best I can do if you want? Mfield ( talk) 07:11, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Here are the two quick edits. (The framing on the files is slightly different to the originals as I used a stitcher to align the two files on top of each other and straighten them which then necessitated a crop). The first edit is a basic rescue of the 0ev original single file using the Photoshop shadow/highlight tool followed by some noise reduction and local contrast enhancement. The second is a PS HDR merge of both the original files (both having been aligned first by the stitching app and then I removed the blue cast from the +3 image with a color balance adjustment). They were merged to HDR with Photoshop's HDR automation rather than any more fancy third party method. The blue sky was then blended in. The images wouldn't align completely - probably due to low contrast and me not spending enough time on it - so there is some slight ghosting in the HDR version.
As I said before, these are both c. 5 minute edits, if there was more to work with, say a -2 frame with the sky and trees intact, and the +3 exposure wasn't so blown out then with 20 mins (of more careful work than my quick blast) the output would look a lot better.

The LOC has two versions of this amazing historical map, one a composite version (a 25mb jp2 which I could open, convert and upload, see above), and one a non-composite version (which was a 75mb jp2 that my computer cannot open, sad). Can someone go to http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.gmd/g3200.ct000725C , download the map on the right, downsample/compress it so it's under the 20mb limit, and upload it to the commons?

Graphist opinion: I've had a good go at this one, but the resolution of the image is simply too low to get anything usable. I've also had a look at the source but I can't extract anything from that of significantly better quality. If all you want is a very abstracted view of the main chambers only (the colored bits) it would be possible to create that from scratch. The fine detail underneath the processor, however, is virtually unreadable even when magnified. Debate 木 12:28, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

(unindent)Maybe income tax percentages would be better than actual dollar amounts. Since the change in tax rates as a range of percentages is much smaller than the dollar changes. Percentages were used in the bar charts on pages 38, 39, 46 of [2].
Maybe dollar amounts could be used if the table was broken up into 2 bar charts. One would cover the lower 7 income brackets. The other bar chart would cover the upper 2 income brackets. I think this would look good, and be easily understood without having to have a wide range in variation of length in the bars. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 12:57, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: Honestly? Use the logo provided by the university, under fair use if necessary. Whoever made the SVG version did a great job, but it's just not accurate enough; the visual integrity of a logo is sacred! Color is not the only issue: the O in OHIO, for instance, has much more severe oblique stress in the actual logo (that is, the "axis" of the O is tilted much farther to the left; the stroke of the letter is thickest at the bottom left and top right), and the SVG's T · H · E and UNIVERSITY don't match the original—they should be set in Palatino, not hand-drawn.

Request: Could these be combined with HDR? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 23:50, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I just gave it a quick go and I am not really convinced the results will be worth it. The images are not well aligned and the +3ev (lighter) one has a color cast and washout from the blown sky which is running all into the bridge shadow area. I can post the best I can do if you want? Mfield ( talk) 07:11, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Here are the two quick edits. (The framing on the files is slightly different to the originals as I used a stitcher to align the two files on top of each other and straighten them which then necessitated a crop). The first edit is a basic rescue of the 0ev original single file using the Photoshop shadow/highlight tool followed by some noise reduction and local contrast enhancement. The second is a PS HDR merge of both the original files (both having been aligned first by the stitching app and then I removed the blue cast from the +3 image with a color balance adjustment). They were merged to HDR with Photoshop's HDR automation rather than any more fancy third party method. The blue sky was then blended in. The images wouldn't align completely - probably due to low contrast and me not spending enough time on it - so there is some slight ghosting in the HDR version.
As I said before, these are both c. 5 minute edits, if there was more to work with, say a -2 frame with the sky and trees intact, and the +3 exposure wasn't so blown out then with 20 mins (of more careful work than my quick blast) the output would look a lot better.
