Request: Please remove noise on both paintings. Adjust color or brightness on the second one if deemed necessary. The last one (the third, from left to right) is a photograph which I uploaded a newer and improved version. First, if possible, I'd like to see both "columns" of lines that can be seen in the background (they're in fact text from the backpage). Second, upload a .png version of the photo over the image to the right (including with transparent background). Thank you, Lecen ( talk) 12:07, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Article(s): Radian, Turn (geometry), Perimeter and Circumference
Request: This is a great animation, and this is a request for a (relatively minor) variant of it. The current version shows a circle of diameter one whose circumference is π. In many contexts it would be nice to have a version where the circle has radius one instead (diameter two) and a circumference of 2π. I'd be glad to take this to Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Illustration workshop if desired, but I thought I'd start here since this is a raster image (and as far as I know, we don't have support yet for any form of animated SVG). The new image would not replace the existing one but would have a new name (Twopi-unrolled.gif, I suppose, unless someone has a better idea). Discussion of the mathematics is at File talk:Pi-unrolled-720.gif#Radians and WT:MATH has been consulted (on 23 April 2011). Kingdon ( talk) 01:32, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Request: The bottom right corner of this image shows part of the wing of the aircraft in which I was flying when I took the photograph. Could you please crop enough of the right side of the photo to get rid of it? Moreover, could you crop out some of the top? The subject of the photo is the kame that's slightly off-center to the bottom left; I'd appreciate it if you could crop the image so that it shows only the area highlighted in the image note plus a buffer zone around the image note.

I took a shot at this. Grabbed the hi-res tiff from the Library of Congress and started with that. It's not perfect, but it's presentable. Smoothing out the mottled background seemed to help a lot. As you can see, the right side of his face is nice and clear, but everything else is somewhat blurry and/or faded. I have a feeling that's how the original photograph looked when it was taken. I tried a few different ways to get the rest of the image as clear and crisp as his face, but every attempt just made it worse. Hopefully you'll find it good enough for the article.

File:Hoapili Kaauwai and Kiliwehi.jpg. That result is about the best frame removal you're going to get. Hope it works for you.

Done: To answer your question, cropping is quick and easy and is often the best way to go. However, cropping removes a portion of the image. In this image, there was some detail at the front of the pool that would have been lost. So I took a little extra time and edited out the watermark.

Graphist opinion:
Request taken by PawełMM.
Regarding #2... didn't try to "improve quality". Attempts to smooth out the graininess would result in a blurry looking image with lost detail. What people often fail to realize is that the key to a good quality digital version of an old photo starts with a good quality high-resolution scan. Without that, opportunities for improving any old photo are limited. In this case, all we have to work with is a low resolution image from a PDF file that itself was scanned from an old book. All in all, the image as it is, is not all that bad and is perfectly presentable. JBarta ( talk) 10:43, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
