Article(s): World's Columbian Exposition
Request: This is by no means urgent, but if someone would like to have a go at cleaning up this image, that would great. It's quite a nice image, and nicely shows Chicago during the exposition. -- Nautica Shad es 23:36, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Request: Hi all. I was just wondering whether someone could remove all that plack space and make a higher resolution of the image. --I'm an Editor of the wiki citation needed 02:40, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I've removed most of the black space. As for resolution, that can only be increased by taking a new photo; software can only uselessly duplicate pixels. -- Bowlhover ( talk) 04:29, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Request: This is the official logo. Can you make a copy of it? In order for it to be used at the Greek Wikipedia?-- Dimorsitanos ( talk) 18:36, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: It's a copyrighted logo (and so would any copy of it be) so unless Greek wikipedia allows fair use you will never be able to use it. If greek wikipedia allows fair use then just upload the image localy to the greek wikipedia. / Lokal _ Profil 00:28, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Yes, It's being used at a 5-10KB resolution. But, I've noticed many seal and flag copies at greater resolutions....-- Dimorsitanos ( talk) 08:05, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Article: Lourinhã, Peninsular War, and potentially many others
Request: Hello, I ask to you whether it is possible to make a chart of French invasion in Iberian Peninsula from the following chart: Europe Napoleon 1811.
It would be necessary to put the cities of: Lisbon, Lourinhã, Olivenza, Salamanque, Peniche, Barcelona and Madrid.
It would be necessary to make three of them if possible: French, Portuguese and English. Cancelos ( talk) 11:44, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Let me contact the user who did the original map to see if he still has a vector version of it. I don't feel confident redrawing the 1811 borders on a map of present day Europe, but if I can get this map in SVG, I can put on those cities for you. (Or hey, maybe he'll be willing to do it.) MissMJ ( talk) 21:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
This map hates me. I can't match up a current map of Spain/Portugal (screenshot from Google Maps) with that map; some of the borders always end up off (Barcelona ends up in the middle of the sea -_-'). And I really don't want to go through all of those other maps and draw all the battles and towns and paths and whatever. I don't really care about Napoleon and I hate battle history. T_T This will bore me to tears. Does anyone else want to take a stab at it? MissMJ ( talk) 19:05, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: Can you be a little more specific? Debate 木 07:56, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
The images do not match each other in quality, so hopefully something can be done to improve them as well. The wheel is the cleanest thus far. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 08:39, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): WikiProject Media franchises image
Request: If possible, could an image using the ones above be made to show the interconnectivity of the various media and to show how those media all feed into media franchises? A request has also been posted on Commons. An image was created, however, it was noted that it would be better as a barnstar and can be found here. Also, something generic for music would be appreciated. Thanks! LA ( T) @ 07:14, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): on Cameroon National Parks
Request: Could someone upload a non-copyvio version of the map at http://carpe.umd.edu/where-carpe-works/dja_sof.jpg ? --I'm an Editor of the wiki citation needed 20:51, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
[Not using gallery yet, as it does not work with off-site images, and the off-site one is the original, and the one in Commons is probably not the one to work with.]
This is the best quality copy of the image that is available. It is from a microfilm photo, with too much contrast, that was scanned in at 4-bit color depth, so it does have greyscales, but not really enough.
Mucking about with it in GraphicConverter, this is the best I've been able to do with it (including mirroring horizontally so that the lit side of his face is toward the article text.
Article(s): William A. Spinks
Request: Clean up background and see if anything at all can be done to improve the picture of his face. I realize there is no greyscale information in the darkest areas, so not a lot can be done there. Is it plausible to improve this image further, or is this a lost cause? This is one of only two known publicly available photos of him. The other, near bottom of the same article, also needs cleanup, as some bit of dirt or something is on his face, making it look kind of like he has a wet cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Both images are in Commons, though I would expect that the first link above is the one that would be needed for the something to work from. I can provide the original scan of the second image as well, if needed. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ cont] ‹(-¿-)› 01:23, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal
Request: - I created this on Inkscape but it won't render in the browser, unless clicked. What have I done wrong, and could you correct it for me? The article is going for FAC so if theres any input on the map style, that would be great too. Cheers, Parrot of Doom ( talk) 23:32, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
Do you mean that it won't show up as a thumbnail? It wasn't displaying in the gallery above because the filename it was uploaded to is "MBB canal map.svg" but the gallery was looking for "Mbb canal map.svg". The map style's good but you might want to think about having less white border around it (there's a really easy way to get rid of it in inkscape - press Ctrl-A to select everything then go to File->Document Properties and click "Fit page to selection"). Hope that helps! Time3000 ( talk) 14:55, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Christine Gregoire
Request: I'd like this lightened and the color balanced appropriately. I lack the knowledge on how to do this correctly, so I thought I'd ask here.

Article(s):
Request: please include all of Greenland, which fades off in the corner. -- Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 17:06, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: How's this? Personally, I'm not convinced that it's a better image. Greenland is clearly identified in the original and the expansion significantly reduces the display size of the other countries, making the overall map harder to read. If people really need to see the full geography of Greenland, which is not the main purpose of this image, they can easily find it elsewhere. Debate 木 01:13, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Request: Remake this graph without the chartjunk (3D effect, shadow, etc). 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 19:36, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Opinion: Easy enough to do in Excel, however I'd need the original figures from which the chart was made. I can get these off the SIPRI website, however their SIPRI copyright notice suggests that someone would need to seek their permission first before we could produce something based on those figures.

Article(s): A Few Good Men, Aaron Sorkin
Request: -- Is it possible for someone here to fix the blown highlights on this photograph and bring it up to spec? I think it could be a featured picture with a little work. Am I wrong? Fewgoodmen ( talk) 22:09, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: The two main problems with the image, other than that it could do with a slightly tighter crop, are the blown highlights (very bright light reflection) on the left side of the hands and faces and motion blur, particularly the hands and on Rob Lowe's face. Regarding the highlights, I have dropped the image into Photoshop and run the levels all the way up. There is not sufficient colour information left to extract anything of value, even with some creative masking. The motion blur is also too severe to be easily fixed, and the problem is accentuated by blown highlights in the same areas. Unfortunately, in my opinion there's very little that can be done to further improve this image. Debate 木 13:18, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Request: Can anyone improve upon my somewhat limited retouching skills? The original PD image has some pretty severe deterioration, although there seems to be quite a bit of detail remaining in the faded areas.

Request: SVG-ification. I've listed a number of sources above that can help here. For clarity, the flowers circumbounding the crest are Tudor/English roses (example listed above), Thistles (can't find an SVG version but there are some on the Image:Scottish_royal_coat_of_arms.svg), and (I believe) Leeks (Leeks being a national emblem of Wales - no SVG file found.).

Article(s): European Parliament election, 1979, European Parliament election, 1994
Request:
Dear Wikipedia:Graphic_Lab/Image_workshop. A discussion has taken place on " en:Talk:Political_groups_of_the_European_Parliament". That discussion came to a conclusion. The conclusion was that the color of "CDI" should be changed from #009900 to #999999, and that the color of of "ERA" should be changed from #009900 to #FFFF00. Please make the following changes:

Graphist opinion: I actually like the "antique-ness" to that image. You really think it should be vectorized? -- pbroks13 talk? 22:53, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
I’ll have a go, but don't be surprised if it never gets finished. By the way, there is a cleaner, albeit black and white, image here:
If it was vectorised, how complete would it be? i.e., should the image want to just be the eagle, CoAs and crucifix in the middle. I could for see this cleaner version used alongside the original as a sort of 'key', to show what states are shown. This would be more useful than including the comets, parchment around the legs ect. On a similar topic, should the names above the shields be kept, and if so should they be in the original, I assume Old High German, language, or in English, Or maybe if it were to be used for reference, using numbers to relate to a key in the text, as the trend seems to be. Any comments would be appreciated.-- 23230 talk 11:08, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Alright, Here are two Example, Work in Progress images. The main focus is on the shields and not on the eagle, so in one version it is left as simple lines. This supplements the fact this is not meant to replace the original, and in my opinion brilliant, image, but to supplement it, to show clearly which shields are which.
I believe the left image is clearer to show the shields and their positions, but it seems a little plain, so the right compensates. Clearly if more detail is needed in the right image it could be added, but I feel it would detract from the shields. Also, at this stage I left out the banners at the bottom explaining the ranks and the titles for the shields, so it can be used on other projects, and if you can roll over to see the link it makes it somewhat unnecessary.
I certainly like the above idea as for the clickable image, and it adds to what I think this image is for. The original is best for art students and historians, but for people wanting to understand the picture and the rankings in the Empire this image could be underneath to explain. The feathers do have meanings, as I gathered from [7] here, however only as much as the top larger row shows the seven electors and, for some reason, the civil governor of Rome. I seem to gather that on the far left wing are the peasants, so I assume that the far right are the 'Great Princes'. Anyway, this [8] link from the German page seems to explain the meanings well, and gives useful information, but my German is not that good, so if anyone could translate, or know someone who could, it would be appreciated.
As I mentioned, this article on the eagle (the Quaternionenadler) exists on the German wiki, and with this image and the information gained from the article above could be a good excuse to make one here. Comments are welcome. -- 23230 talk 19:40, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
I apologise for the delay, but I have been away for a while. Here is the completed Image:
Error: Image is invalid or non-existent.
Image:Quaterionenadler.svg What do you think? It shows the shields clearly. The idea of the links on the image to the page is a good one, but whilst we have pages on Brandenburg, Saxony & Magdeburg (the examples I used, in the top right hand corner), some of the shields don't have links, and some of them I couldn't find so I just copied them from the original image. As for the meanings you would have to ask a heraldry expert which I am not, sadly. If you find any differences then please say.-- 23230 talk 12:13, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
Thank you very much. I belive the best way to use it would be to make an article on the Quaterionenadler, simmilar to de:Quaternionenadler on the German Wikipedia. Anyway, I suppose this is done then.-- 23230 talk 09:11, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
I have a question, sould the coa's not link to there respective parts of the Holy Roman Empire, for example Saxony is linked to the Free State of Saxony instead of the Electorate of Saxony? Are you guys going for current day territories or Holy Roman territories?
I also I just happend to know one of the shields, third feather from the right, bottom shield (red lion): Duchy of Limburg. also I think the red cross is the Archbishopric of Trier and the black cross is the Electorate of Cologne, the wheel next to the black cross Archbishopric of Mainz.-- SelfQ ( talk) 18:30, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you very much all of you. I have currently started on research for the shields; so far I have found about half of them. User:Martin23230/Quaterionenadler shows how far I have got, I took the list from [9], which shows the names and positions in German. The problem being that many of them seem wildly different to the current CoAs. For example, Braunschweig (Brunswick) is marked as the shield under Rome. However, on the page, its CoA is similar to Limburg, rather than the two yellow lions on a red field. Should we go with names and them link to the articles, or search for the CoAs and link to the country that way? As I said, about half of the shields have been found, but for the positions only the far left, the peasants, and the third from the right, the knights, have been translatable, the problem being it is on old German, so a translator won’t cover it, only a native speaker. Oh, and thanks SelfQ, that was one I couldn't get. In the German it is marked as Strundeck. Anyway, if anyone wants to help out they can feel free.-- 23230 talk 16:21, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:
[Not using gallery yet, as it does not work with off-site images, and the off-site one is the original, and the one in Commons is probably not the one to work with.]
This is the best quality copy of the image that is available. It is from a microfilm photo, with too much contrast, that was scanned in at 4-bit color depth, so it does have greyscales, but not really enough.
Mucking about with it in GraphicConverter, this is the best I've been able to do with it (including mirroring horizontally so that the lit side of his face is toward the article text.

Request: Clean up background and see if anything at all can be done to improve the picture of his face.

This is one of only two known publicly available photos of him. The other, near bottom of the same article, also needs cleanup, as some bit of dirt or something is on his face, making it look kind of like he has a wet cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

Graphist opinion: The two main problems with the image, other than that it could do with a slightly tighter crop, are the blown highlights (very bright light reflection) on the left side of the hands and faces and motion blur, particularly the hands and on Rob Lowe's face. Regarding the highlights, I have dropped the image into Photoshop and run the levels all the way up. There is not sufficient colour information left to extract anything of value, even with some creative masking. The motion blur is also too severe to be easily fixed, and the problem is accentuated by blown highlights in the same areas.

Article(s): European Parliament election, 1979, European Parliament election, 1994
Request:
Dear Wikipedia:Graphic_Lab/Image_workshop. A discussion has taken place on " en:Talk:Political_groups_of_the_European_Parliament". That discussion came to a conclusion. The conclusion was that the color of "CDI" should be changed from #009900 to #999999, and that the color of of "ERA" should be changed from #009900 to #FFFF00. Please make the following changes:
These two hemicycles are part of a suite depicting European Parliament results from 1979-2004, and so should be kept in sync with each other. So do not svgify them unless you're willing to svg all the others and commit to keeping them in sync.

Graphist opinion: I actually like the "antique-ness" to that image. You really think it should be vectorized? -- pbroks13 talk? 22:53, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
I’ll have a go, but don't be surprised if it never gets finished. By the way, there is a cleaner, albeit black and white, image here:
If it was vectorised, how complete would it be? i.e., should the image want to just be the eagle, CoAs and crucifix in the middle. I could for see this cleaner version used alongside the original as a sort of 'key', to show what states are shown. This would be more useful than including the comets, parchment around the legs ect. On a similar topic, should the names above the shields be kept, and if so should they be in the original, I assume Old High German, language, or in English, Or maybe if it were to be used for reference, using numbers to relate to a key in the text, as the trend seems to be. Any comments would be appreciated.-- 23230 talk 11:08, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Alright, Here are two Example, Work in Progress images. The main focus is on the shields and not on the eagle, so in one version it is left as simple lines. This supplements the fact this is not meant to replace the original, and in my opinion brilliant, image, but to supplement it, to show clearly which shields are which.
I believe the left image is clearer to show the shields and their positions, but it seems a little plain, so the right compensates. Clearly if more detail is needed in the right image it could be added, but I feel it would detract from the shields. Also, at this stage I left out the banners at the bottom explaining the ranks and the titles for the shields, so it can be used on other projects, and if you can roll over to see the link it makes it somewhat unnecessary.
I certainly like the above idea as for the clickable image, and it adds to what I think this image is for. The original is best for art students and historians, but for people wanting to understand the picture and the rankings in the Empire this image could be underneath to explain. The feathers do have meanings, as I gathered from [7] here, however only as much as the top larger row shows the seven electors and, for some reason, the civil governor of Rome. I seem to gather that on the far left wing are the peasants, so I assume that the far right are the 'Great Princes'. Anyway, this [8] link from the German page seems to explain the meanings well, and gives useful information, but my German is not that good, so if anyone could translate, or know someone who could, it would be appreciated.
As I mentioned, this article on the eagle (the Quaternionenadler) exists on the German wiki, and with this image and the information gained from the article above could be a good excuse to make one here. Comments are welcome. -- 23230 talk 19:40, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
I apologise for the delay, but I have been away for a while. Here is the completed Image:
Error: Image is invalid or non-existent.
Image:Quaterionenadler.svg What do you think? It shows the shields clearly. The idea of the links on the image to the page is a good one, but whilst we have pages on Brandenburg, Saxony & Magdeburg (the examples I used, in the top right hand corner), some of the shields don't have links, and some of them I couldn't find so I just copied them from the original image. As for the meanings you would have to ask a heraldry expert which I am not, sadly. If you find any differences then please say.-- 23230 talk 12:13, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
Thank you very much. I belive the best way to use it would be to make an article on the Quaterionenadler, simmilar to de:Quaternionenadler on the German Wikipedia. Anyway, I suppose this is done then.-- 23230 talk 09:11, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
I have a question, sould the coa's not link to there respective parts of the Holy Roman Empire, for example Saxony is linked to the Free State of Saxony instead of the Electorate of Saxony? Are you guys going for current day territories or Holy Roman territories?
I also I just happend to know one of the shields, third feather from the right, bottom shield (red lion): Duchy of Limburg. also I think the red cross is the Archbishopric of Trier and the black cross is the Electorate of Cologne, the wheel next to the black cross Archbishopric of Mainz.-- SelfQ ( talk) 18:30, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you very much all of you. I have currently started on research for the shields; so far I have found about half of them. User:Martin23230/Quaterionenadler shows how far I have got, I took the list from [9], which shows the names and positions in German. The problem being that many of them seem wildly different to the current CoAs. For example, Braunschweig (Brunswick) is marked as the shield under Rome. However, on the page, its CoA is similar to Limburg, rather than the two yellow lions on a red field. Should we go with names and them link to the articles, or search for the CoAs and link to the country that way? As I said, about half of the shields have been found, but for the positions only the far left, the peasants, and the third from the right, the knights, have been translatable, the problem being it is on old German, so a translator won’t cover it, only a native speaker. Oh, and thanks SelfQ, that was one I couldn't get. In the German it is marked as Strundeck. Anyway, if anyone wants to help out they can feel free.-- 23230 talk 16:21, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
