General cleanup; this is probably the most well-known and significant image from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur (6 other images from which are featured), but it's too messy to become an FP in its present state. This version has been fiddled with using Picasa; I can provide the original scan if needed.
Graphist opinion:
Hm, I hope this is where I should put my comment. Anyway, I cleaned up the image sort of quick and dirty mostly using filters in Photoshop. If you take a close look at the clean-up version you'll find spots that the filters didn't get right. I've never seen the original, let me know if this is in the right direction. The tentacles on the far left should probably be less blue, but I didn't want to "repaint" the image.

Request: liquidGhoul 14:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC) This was sent to me, and I think it was a scan of a washed out photo. I don't currently have the tools to fix it, and I probably wouldn't do it in the right way. To see what colour the frog should be, check out this (brown one, not the green one). Thanks, and great work with the project. -- liquidGhoul 14:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Also, to remove the scratches I used the clone and blur tools a lot. While this probably doesn't mater for the background it might have altered the head of the animal a bit, especially between the eyes. I choosed to leave some traces of the scratches there, in order not to alter the frog to much.

Graphist opinion:
Ok, I did what I could. You should upload your images in a better resolution, if nothing else to make life easier for bastards like myself to fake thing around. There wasn't enough pixels in the photo to do a lot, so I didn't manage to make the left sidewalk symmetric to the right one. If you do use this version make sure to tell your audience it is digitaly altered. Personally I recommend a new trip to Washington D.C. instead.
Also, when possible avoid taking pictures of buildings in shadow, it tends to look like the first scene in a tragic movie.

Article(s): Stall (flight)
Request: Most obviously, it shouldn't be JPG. But it's also a central part of the stall article, which has many interwikis, and needs to be able to have its captions changeable for internationalization. Could be PNG if a blank version were provided (the "stall angle" inside the grid isn't easy to replace), but it's probably best as SVG. de:Bild:Auftriebsbeiwert.jpg is the German translation of this (with an additional useful caption that falls inside the grid). -- Interiot 20:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Yug (talk) 02:28, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
I've been working on this for a few hours now. Pamir-gr.jpg contains a lot of interesting information, but also some problems. There are a lot of "Pik Lenin", "Pik Moscow", and "Pik Revolution" etc on that map. I seem resonable that the names of these mountains have changed. Should I just add those names to the map and let someone else update the SVG?

14:29, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
I just realized that the pamir-gr.jpg is not PD and that I've been creating a copyvio. < stupid me > So instead I created a slightly unconventional location map. I've uploaded it with and without a Demis map as background. Let me know what you think.

Article(s):
Request: Honestly, I am not sure what is the best way to improve this photograph, but a different background and removing the shadow if possible may improve things. Again, I am not sure how feasible it would be to change the background, or what background color would be best. My worry is that too light a color (white) would make it difficult to distinguish the borders of enamel, but I have not seen many images with a dark background. My first intinct would be to suggest a light blue background, but I willingly would defer to a graphist's suggestion. Thanks in advance. Dozenist talk 17:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
A transparent background should probably be the best. Even if we generally think of theeth as white they aren't often really white, and this one isn't for sure. I don't think a white background should cause any problems in this case. However, a near-black background is probably advisable if the request is to make that thooth look white.

I've traced the PNG using Inkscape, but at the moment it isn't very meaningful. If someone were to provide some labels, I'd be happy to put them on. Time3000 13:48, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
How's that? I don't know what the numbers actually refer to, perhaps some of the lines could be removed if there's a larger region that the text can be moved over. -- Interiot 01:15, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
I recreated the SVG. If someone will provide the English translations, I can add those to the SVG. If someone else adds the translations, please upload as a different SVG, since the current one is in use at de:Rückenmark. -- Interiot 21:19, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:
Article(s): The Turk, possibly also useful at Knight's tour.
Request: I have an image in a book I'm using regarding the pattern that the Turk used when completing the Knight's tour. Using the image from the book would, at worst, be a copyvio and, at best, a replaceable fair use. If I were able to provide the pattern for the tour (either from the book or through accepted chess patterns), would someone be able to make an image similar to the one at the knight's tour article for me with the correct pattern? Keep in mind - the pattern itself is not a copyvio, obviously, and if it's somehow unique to the Turk, the pattern itself would be in the public domain by now, as the Turk was destroyed in the 1880s and the originators died before then, so copyright shouldn't be an issue here. -- badlydrawnjeff talk 14:50, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand your request. Wikipedia already have an illustration of the Knight's tour. Is the pattern in your book different from this one? It looks like a simple illustration to do and both illustrations should be made SVGs. So, please explain what the pattern looks like. Maybe you could provide a list of moves (eg A1-B3-A5- etc)?

Article(s): Korean Pottery: Categorized by Periods
Request: MECU≈ talk 03:11, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
I've reuploaded a version with a white background and no text over the original. I tried to otherwise keep the differences to a minimum; in particular, the colors of the bowl itself are exactly the same as before. I couldn't get a clean transparent background without either aliasing or halos, but I believe a white background should be fine for this. (The original image, by the way, had apparently been saved at maximum JPEG quality. Given the amount of noise in the original, I felt that 95% quality was more than sufficient, and cut the file size to less than half. Uploading images at a high quality is good, yes, but everything has its limits.) — Ilmari Karonen ( talk) 15:46, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
For the record, the steps I used were:

Graphist opinion: I've created this SVG from the map you suggested, but the areas of slate are not shown in very high resolution on the original, and so probably won't be particularly accurate on the SVG.

Request: I would like an animated gif showing the progression of adoption of defense of marriage amendments by states in the U.S. over time based on the color scheme used in the above map (so that the different types of amendments are represented). For example, I envision the gif beginning with Hawaii and Alaska colored first and a caption of "1998", as that was the year with those two states first adopted amendments. Nebraska would be added to the others in the next part of the animation, which would be labeled "2000". I hope this description is clear enough, please let me know if it's not. Here is the full list:

I did another version from Image:Europe continents.svg. I used that map because in other maps the borders of the pieces of land are not continous, and that difficults to use the "fill" attribute of the objects. Labels are still missing, I will add them later. At the moment I am more worried beause there are some zones that (bilingual regions) where I filled the objects with patterns, and they are not visible in the rendered images :_( Chabacano 13:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Request: liquidGhoul 14:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC) This was sent to me, and I think it was a scan of a washed out photo. I don't currently have the tools to fix it, and I probably wouldn't do it in the right way. To see what colour the frog should be, check out this (brown one, not the green one). Thanks, and great work with the project. -- liquidGhoul 14:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Also, to remove the scratches I used the clone and blur tools a lot. While this probably doesn't mater for the background it might have altered the head of the animal a bit, especially between the eyes. I choosed to leave some traces of the scratches there, in order not to alter the frog to much.

Graphist opinion:
Ok, I did what I could. You should upload your images in a better resolution, if nothing else to make life easier for bastards like myself to fake thing around. There wasn't enough pixels in the photo to do a lot, so I didn't manage to make the left sidewalk symmetric to the right one. If you do use this version make sure to tell your audience it is digitaly altered. Personally I recommend a new trip to Washington D.C. instead.
Also, when possible avoid taking pictures of buildings in shadow, it tends to look like the first scene in a tragic movie.

Graphist opinion:
I've been working on this for a few hours now. Pamir-gr.jpg contains a lot of interesting information, but also some problems. There are a lot of "Pik Lenin", "Pik Moscow", and "Pik Revolution" etc on that map. I seem resonable that the names of these mountains have changed. Should I just add those names to the map and let someone else update the SVG?

Request: Honestly, I am not sure what is the best way to improve this photograph, but a different background and removing the shadow if possible may improve things. Again, I am not sure how feasible it would be to change the background, or what background color would be best. My worry is that too light a color (white) would make it difficult to distinguish the borders of enamel, but I have not seen many images with a dark background. My first intinct would be to suggest a light blue background, but I willingly would defer to a graphist's suggestion. Thanks in advance. Dozenist talk 17:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
A transparent background should probably be the best. Even if we generally think of theeth as white they aren't often really white, and this one isn't for sure. I don't think a white background should cause any problems in this case. However, a near-black background is probably advisable if the request is to make that thooth look white.

Article(s): The Turk, possibly also useful at Knight's tour.
Request: I have an image in a book I'm using regarding the pattern that the Turk used when completing the Knight's tour. Using the image from the book would, at worst, be a copyvio and, at best, a replaceable fair use. If I were able to provide the pattern for the tour (either from the book or through accepted chess patterns), would someone be able to make an image similar to the one at the knight's tour article for me with the correct pattern? Keep in mind - the pattern itself is not a copyvio, obviously, and if it's somehow unique to the Turk, the pattern itself would be in the public domain by now, as the Turk was destroyed in the 1880s and the originators died before then, so copyright shouldn't be an issue here. -- badlydrawnjeff talk 14:50, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand your request. Wikipedia already have an illustration of the Knight's tour. Is the pattern in your book different from this one? It looks like a simple illustration to do and both illustrations should be made SVGs. So, please explain what the pattern looks like. Maybe you could provide a list of moves (eg A1-B3-A5- etc)?

Article(s): Korean Pottery: Categorized by Periods
Request: MECU≈ talk 03:11, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
I've reuploaded a version with a white background and no text over the original. I tried to otherwise keep the differences to a minimum; in particular, the colors of the bowl itself are exactly the same as before. I couldn't get a clean transparent background without either aliasing or halos, but I believe a white background should be fine for this. (The original image, by the way, had apparently been saved at maximum JPEG quality. Given the amount of noise in the original, I felt that 95% quality was more than sufficient, and cut the file size to less than half. Uploading images at a high quality is good, yes, but everything has its limits.) — Ilmari Karonen ( talk) 15:46, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Request: I would like an animated gif showing the progression of adoption of defense of marriage amendments by states in the U.S. over time based on the color scheme used in the above map (so that the different types of amendments are represented). For example, I envision the gif beginning with Hawaii and Alaska colored first and a caption of "1998", as that was the year with those two states first adopted amendments. Nebraska would be added to the others in the next part of the animation, which would be labeled "2000". I hope this description is clear enough, please let me know if it's not. Here is the full list:

I did another version from Image:Europe continents.svg. I used that map because in other maps the borders of the pieces of land are not continous, and that difficults to use the "fill" attribute of the objects. Labels are still missing, I will add them later. At the moment I am more worried beause there are some zones that (bilingual regions) where I filled the objects with patterns, and they are not visible in the rendered images :_( Chabacano 13:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
