Request: There's something odd about this image when you look at it at full resolution - I realise there's probably some paper texture there, but the chromatics look a little off, like there's some chromatic aberration. What do you think? -- Shoemaker's Holiday ( talk) 05:23, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: There is indeed something going on. I really don't know what it is either. Perhaps the original painting is on canvas, and that's whats showing through. Removing the yellows gives this, (although I'm not sure Utagawa Kuniyoshi would consider it an improvement.) Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 01:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Request: SVGify all three, also, the eagle on the badge should be the one from the Scout flag (second image), not the national flag. The badge on the Scout flag is more correct in color and proportions. -- Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 00:07, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): OBE
Request: Something is seriously wrong with this picture. Could something be done to make it look a bit better. :S Thanks Mangwanani ( talk) 20:21, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Actually, I think that's correct. The white shield in the center and the scroll beneath are both common parts of a coat of arms. The point of the picture is that the OBE circlet can be added to any coat of arms, so I don't think we need to do anything for this. — ʞɔıu 18:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Minnesota has a large version on their website which should solve that one. Apparently, they're picky about how it's done. [1] Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 19:30, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Request: I'd like to see this converted using a better quality map of Arabia that we have on Wikipedia into an SVG. This would remove a tenuous fair use and we could use that image as a source for the locations. -- gren グレン 00:03, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I'm not entirely sure on whether this will help, but I had a go at vectorizing the image. I couldn't get the text to bend because Wikimedia doesn't support it currently, and the spacing doesn't work also. I've released it under GFDL/CC licenses. Tom ( talk) 19:26, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Request: rotate to straight, trim, lighten for detail -- Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 06:29, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I've had a go. There's some oddites - like that string - that made this image a bit awkward. I had to selectively remove some highlights, and don't think this end result is perfect. I found the levels adjustment a little awkward because the sky kept blowing out whenever I tried to fix the shadowed lower part of the picture. Eh, well. This'll do for tonight. It's actually slightly trapezoidal [or wedge-shaped], so it cannot be made perfectly straight - this isn't uncommon for Victorian engravings - but I tried to compromise.

Request: -- 210.203.61.15 ( talk) 14:26, 11 February 2008 (UTC) Can someone convert these pdf into SVG, or redo it in SVG. Since SVG is understood by MediaWiki (display an image) and SVG is easier to translate, that should be really helpful to have them in SVG format. The wikipedia-Logo is not available in SVG, and will need to be deleted.
Graphist opinion: All done... Some fonts were messed up, but all in all, i think it looks good. Any problems? Let me know... Please fix the licenses on both vector images. I hate doing that bit, also can you add descriptions? Thanks XcepticZP ( talk) 12:33, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
The vector versions are showing major kerning problems on my system (XP, firefox). I normally don't see many problems with SVGs, so this there any way to fix? Could also convert text to paths, but would have a much larger file size. Jeff Dahl ( Talk • contribs) 02:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC) Also opening them in inkscape shows the problem is more than just a browser rendering problem. Why not just stick with the raster version--the need for fast page loads for a welcome message/cheat sheet might outweigh the limitations of not having the vector version.

I dug out one of my old school books and found I had the Zimbabwe Coat of Arms there. Its a bad drawing done when I was small. Does this help for the SVG? Mangwanani ( talk) 17:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
I've done Lesotho. It seems there was a typo on the scroll on the raster version, according to all other sources I could find the motto is "Khotso, Pula, Nala" not "Khoto, Pula, Nala". It's corrected on the vector version.
I have recently uploaded Image:Carbon monoxide 2D.svg to the Commons, an SVG that I made in Inkscape in order to replace Image:Carbon-monoxide-2D-dimensions.png. However, Image:Carbon monoxide 2D.svg does not display correctly on its image page, although it does look fine when you click on it.

Article(s): Bulawayo, Chitungwiza, Mutare, Gweru, Marondera, Zimbabwe, MDC
Request: To make SVG versions of the above images. Its a lot to ask and if it can't be done, it can't be done. The flags can be made using the coats of arms once an SVG has been made for them so no need to make the COAs twice. The writing on the Chitungwiza Banner should read Pamberi Nekushandria Pamwe. The Bulawayo flag is the Bulwayo COA on a blue bkgd. It looks different in the image above but use the image as in the COA as this is the proper version. SVG Zimbabwe COA and enlarge for clarity if possible. Many thanks Mangwanani ( talk) 17:16, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): Unseen University, Portal:Discworld, many userboxes
Request: The image was poorly converted to SVG from original - reconversion/redrawing needed please. The tracing has mucked up bits like the point at the bottom, and the shadows. The worst part is that the lines are extremely rough (traced over aliasing) - they need to be completely smooth if possible. Even if that means redrawing. The SVG also has loads of extraneous lines and shapes that aren't needed, and thumbnails very badly (as seen above) - the gradients should be duplicated from the PNG. Thanks, SVG graphists.— Vanderdecken∴ ∫ ξ φ 13:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I have redrawn the whole thing except for the text. I started to redraw the text but I decided it was too much work since I'm sure that font exists somewhere but I don't have it. So if somebody could add the text to this it would be complete: Image:Discworld-unseen-university-amoswolfe-2.svg Note that I have left the raster embedded which you should removed after it is finished. Also I used the blur effect for the shadows but I'm not sure if Mediawiki will render this properly (Firefox doesn't), so that might need to be removed. -- Borb ( talk) 18:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: Are all these really necessary? It seems to me that just having one or two as examples would be enough. Apart from that though, having a base SVG without a number and then using a template something like Template:GBthumb to overlay a number would be better both in terms of number of images and ease of use on pages.

Here it's: Removed background, Set the battery indicator to 100% on both, removed now playing on 6G, removed now pause indicator, removed some "stuff" from select button, tried to remove fingerprints, rotated them so the align, and some minor color correction.

Article(s): Draft for discussion
Request: -- For some reason the image renders perfectly in both Internet Explorer and Opera, but it's horribly unusable when used on Wikipedia pages, whether included full size or thumbnailed (can be seen at the above link and by clicking through the Image: page). Some text is being omitted, half the image is covered by rectangles. It's been requested for discussion but can't be used in this state and I can't see how to fix it. Can anyone take a look at it and figure how to make a version that mediawiki will render correctly in a Wikipedia page? It's not very complicated as svg's go. Thanks! FT2 ( Talk | email) 18:10, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: The problem was that in some places the font size was being scaled to 120% of the original size, but ImageMagick (MediaWiki's rendering engine) was interpreting this as a literal 120 point (I think) - the black boxes were actually letters. I've fixed that, and partially fixed the problem with the overlayed text when it's rendered with Gecko, e.g. in Firefox; the problem there was that it wasn't recognising the 'dy="1.4em"' in the tspan elements, but a simple change of units to pixels fixed that. There are still some strange things going on with Gecko, but I'm not sure what to do with those. Time3000 ( talk) 12:31, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:Here is a vector version. The label "quenched probe" seems misleading though, because once the probe is separated from the quencher it is no longer quenched. Please let me know if this is satisfactory, it probably could be improved but I would like input on what to do. Also need to convert the text to paths, which I will do on the next update.

OK, I don't often do much image editing but I was playing around with Inkscape recently and decided to give this a try.

OK, two corrections, if possible: Change "mains" to something more international, EG. "The power grid". Secondly, "Interstate freeways" is nonsense, I suggest "Highways" or something similarly simpler. Thanx, 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 18:07, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Renata ( talk) 16:48, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: How's this? If you want text to render correctly, you can only use the fonts listed at meta:SVG fonts. You also chose Bitstream Vera Sans, which doesn't support many special characters; not a good choice for Lithuanian :D I replaced it with DejaVu Sans, which is identical but supports almost any Unicode character.

Additionally if the lighting could be improved--it looks a little dark on my screen, which is quite poor to begin with mind you--and maybe the background "2007" could be removed as well; that would help improve the image a lot.

Graphist opinion: ok i found a bit better version of this seal in here so i used that one to make it. as i said in the image i had to invent the car from cero, becouse in none of the seals was really visible. another thing is that there are main diferences in both seals, by example in one the crown has 7 points while in the other it has 9.

Graphist opinion: I've had a go. There's some oddites - like that string - that made this image a bit awkward. I had to selectively remove some highlights, and don't think this end result is perfect. I found the levels adjustment a little awkward because the sky kept blowing out whenever I tried to fix the shadowed lower part of the picture. Eh, well. This'll do for tonight. It's actually slightly trapezoidal [or wedge-shaped], so it cannot be made perfectly straight - this isn't uncommon for Victorian engravings - but I tried to compromise.

The vector versions are showing major kerning problems on my system (XP, firefox). I normally don't see many problems with SVGs, so this there any way to fix?

Jeff Dahl ( Talk • contribs) 02:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC) Also opening them in inkscape shows the problem is more than just a browser rendering problem. Why not just stick with the raster version--the need for fast page loads for a welcome message/cheat sheet might outweigh the limitations of not having the vector version.

Request: The image was poorly converted to SVG from original - reconversion/redrawing needed please. The tracing has mucked up bits like the point at the bottom, and the shadows. The worst part is that the lines are extremely rough (traced over aliasing) - they need to be completely smooth if possible. Even if that means redrawing. The SVG also has loads of extraneous lines and shapes that aren't needed, and thumbnails very badly (as seen above) - the gradients should be duplicated from the PNG. Thanks, SVG graphists.— Vanderdecken∴ ∫ ξ φ 13:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I have redrawn the whole thing except for the text. I started to redraw the text but I decided it was too much work since I'm sure that font exists somewhere but I don't have it. So if somebody could add the text to this it would be complete: Image:Discworld-unseen-university-amoswolfe-2.svg Note that I have left the raster embedded which you should removed after it is finished. Also I used the blur effect for the shadows but I'm not sure if Mediawiki will render this properly (Firefox doesn't), so that might need to be removed. -- Borb ( talk) 18:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

FT2 ( Talk | email) 18:10, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: The problem was that in some places the font size was being scaled to 120% of the original size, but ImageMagick (MediaWiki's rendering engine) was interpreting this as a literal 120 point (I think) - the black boxes were actually letters. I've fixed that, and partially fixed the problem with the overlayed text when it's rendered with Gecko, e.g. in Firefox; the problem there was that it wasn't recognising the 'dy="1.4em"' in the tspan elements, but a simple change of units to pixels fixed that. There are still some strange things going on with Gecko, but I'm not sure what to do with those. Time3000 ( talk) 12:31, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Request: SVG images. Thanks -- Mangwanani ( talk) 19:12, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Oh, why not. Norwich seems easy enough—I'll give it a go, although I can't for the life of me imagine why it's tagged as an unfree logo. Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 13:30, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I have cleaned up a version of this picture - in what manner do I upload it and to where should it be placed? HaarFager ( talk) 01:27, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
I have uploaded the picture here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tutanhkamun_tomb_statue_edit_1.jpg, but am not sure what to do with it from this point onward. Since you have stated underneath the original version of this uploaded picture that permission has been given to use in any manner whatsoever, can you adjust it's license? If not, please explain what I need to do to keep it from being deleted. I hope the cloning is all right - it was a complicated clone in many ways. HaarFager ( talk) 05:23, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): Monarch (butterfly)
Request: (Shouldn't be too hard). The black line in the bottom should be removed (I’m not sure if there’s also one on the left side...), and the result should be moved to commons. Thanks in advance. -- Pro bug catcher ( talk • contribs). 01:53, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Done with a tad of color correction for good measure. If it's OK, I'll delete the local file (uploaded it with the same name at Commons). It's a very nice shot, shame it was so low-res. Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 22:06, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Request: I have made this vector image of the COA of Iceland. Could someone just fix the final colours from the raster. I cant do it... -- Mangwanani ( talk) 20:18, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
Finally, could I make the additional request that the Icelandic Presidential flag (Which has an embedded raster coat) be fixed to be all SVG? Thanx. 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 17:24, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
I tried my hand at it, and uploaded it over the original. If you don't like it just revert my edits and your image will be back. I'll look at the flag later today. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 21:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
According to FotW the description explicitly includes the white background before the coat itself. Could the embedded-bitmap flag just be overwritten with the new one, since they are the same format/extension? Thanx, 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 02:30, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Request: -- Can this be SVGified? Might have to draw a new pair of lips! XcepticZP ( talk) 11:09, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: In principle it could be SVGified, but the lips would come out looking very clip-arty - the current lips seem to be from a photograph. If you don't mind a clip-art look though(?), it's fairly easy. Time3000 ( talk) 18:07, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
How's that? I just went with the original idea, because lips and speech bubble could be a bit small to be shown well at low resolutions (e.g. in userboxes) and partly because it's easier ; ). Time3000 ( talk) 16:43, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Request: SVGification. I don't feel like doing these right now, so I'm not claiming them. It would be good if we could maintain a common color scheme for the three "Wpdms" maps (these two and the third in the other Arizona Map request above). — ʞɔıu 09:04, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:I'll do these. I'm not sure how the colors relate to each other between the pictures, so I'll just copy the colors from the source images. If anyone wants to, they can change the the color afterwards :) XcepticZP ( talk) 21:20, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Request: This one struck me while we were doing the map above. There's not really a good general-use Pacific-centered SVG world map on the 'pedia. A good one can be found at http://www.eduplace.com/ss/maps/pdf/world_pacific.pdf, but it has the grids and the colors are reversed. Anyone up to the challenge? -- Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 18:51, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I have a start. I converted the PDF to an SVG and am going to start to switch the color over. Above is what I've got so far. I have to invert the continents and oceans so far. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 20:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
From what I've been trying, if you want a flat map without any breaks you're going to get something like what you called "horribly skewed". With the other maps it was an easy break because the whole PAcific ocean was pretty much dropped off. With this you're messign with land that can't just go away. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 19:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): Azcapotzalco (altepetl) and possibly others
Request: Similar to my last request, an SVG glyph to represent the pre-Columbian polity of Azcapotzalco. The dots don't have to be reproduced perfectly. There are a few different ways of drawing this (see e.g. the right-hand side of Image:Tezozomoc.jpg), but this version (from the Codex Mendoza) is the most famous, and is the one the modern Mexico City borough named after Azcapotzalco based their logo on. (An SVG version of the borough's glyph might be wanted too, although I don't know if copyright allows that.) -- Ptcamn ( talk) 23:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
