I would like to request for graphists to extract a new high-resolution clip of this image from the following resource, and ensure that it is rotated appropriately and edited for clarity. Please let me know if you have any questions or require further information. Thank you again to all the graphists for your phenomenal work. This article will be published soon, and is currently located in my personal sandbox. A JP2 version is available

File:Delaware Men of Affairs.jpg. First upload is full page for attribution/reference/future use, second is just a crop, third is white balanced, fourth has min cleaning - so
you can revert out a single step if desired. I just copied/pasted your description, so you might want to tweak that. Let us know if you'd like anything else doing to it. It can be made less "white" if you like, but my judgement was that most of the "grey" was the substrate (paper) which would originally have been white, and in any event removing the colour cast of substrate is a legitimate restoration of an illustration. Cheers. --Begoon16:49, 15 September 2019 (UTC)reply
Begoon, thank you so incredibly much for all your work in uploading the various versions, and for providing me and other users with so many great options to choose from. This will definitely enhance the article for Spaid. Thanks again for all you do! --

I'm guessing the answer is "no", but in case I'm wrong...is it possible to remove the words "CHACK ROAD" from the bottom right corner? --

Done -
Nyttend, I made an attempt. It's not a really good image, pretty low resolution, but in a way that helps because the changes don't stick out as much. I also attempted to reduce the "glare" or uneven lighting on the right a bit, but that's a separate upload, so you can revert that step on its own (or both) if you don't think it/they improve. --Begoon02:03, 16 September 2019 (UTC)reply
Would somebody please 1) slightly rotate this image counterclockwise, and 2) make the background transparent? Please overwrite the existing file. I'm happy to email the high-resolution image (1584 x 2476) if it would help for editing. Thanks, --

Hah indeed! Thanks,
PawełMM &
Hohum. The rotation looks perfect. Sorry to be finicky, but could we actually restore the white background? I didn't realize there would still be a white "halo" with the transparent background. That would also solve the crest, which got cut off a little bit in the process. Thanks, --

You're welcome. Though I should note that using images modified like this is pretty unencyclopedic. Perhaps if you'd taken some other photos as reference material I could have filled in the blanks more realistically. nagualdesign17:50, 10 September 2019 (UTC)reply

Wehwalt, how is it now? It could be made a bit brighter, but I didn't want to start "washing out" detail, and, after all, he is trying to sleep... --Begoon01:43, 16 September 2019 (UTC)reply
Is it possible to remove some of the pixelated-look of the photos and smooth them out? Also, can the logos "AP" in Thomson and "Underwood & Underwood" in Sainte-Croix be removed? As always, your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much
PawełMM I truly appreciate the skills that you have. We are working in preparing this for Featured Article. I will have one more for the conference later today.

Can you make the clipping level? (I do not want to extract the women to a photograph, but would rather keep it as a newspaper clipping if we can make it straight). The tilt in it makes my head spin. Is there a way to clean up the image? I have searched and searched but find no better image than the one from the UN site. The original at Newspapers.com is awful
[1]. Again, I thank you very much for your help on these photographs. Your work improves the article and is greatly appreciated.

Thank you @
PawełMM and
Hohum:, just having it straightened makes a world of difference. I also appreciate that you left me the clipping and extracted a photograph. Obviously for others, the photograph might be more usable. Truly appreciate the help, as clearly photographic retouch is outside of my skill set.

I wanted to ask whether it might be possible to enhance the quality of the scanned photo to such an degree that the face becomes better visible again. It is an inherited family photo from
c. 1916, and parts of it were exposed too long to the sun, resulting in the current quality. Perhaps the splinter on the cap could also be removed; the photo is encased under glass, and splinters are difficult to remove physically. --

PawełMM, I'm not sure what you have done there, but the background is still yellow. Also, I asked for the original to be kept intact. You have overwritten it.
