Could please be possible to remove watermarks from this file? -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Byejai (talk • contribs) 16:30, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done @Byejai: After a bit of cloning, using GIMP 2.10, I uploaded a new version. Please feel free to revert it, if you do not like it better than the original, or overwrite it, if you can do better. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 19:36, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Watermark removal on File:Llazar Fundo ID.jpg

[edit]

Article(s): en:Llazar Fundo and its versions on other language Wikipedias

Request

Watermark removal would be very much appreciated. This bears the only image of the subject I could find that is unaffected by URAA restoration. If it were possible to have a cropped version of the right-hand image without the top-right corner of the archive stamp, that would be even better! Felix QW (talk) 10:15, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've done my best on GIMP at File:Llazar Fundo ID (cropped and dewatermarked).jpeg, but I failed to properly remove the watermark on anything but the portrait photo or remove the stamp. I suppose the crop is serviceable for now though. Felix QW (talk) 07:40, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’d like to request for perspective correction. --Htanaungg (talk) 15:06, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
Uploaded my best attempt, but good results can only be achieved for some specific part, global image will be distorted heavily - Gabuxae (talk) 18:58, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Htanaungg: Can you clarify what do you mean? Do you feel like my upload is closer to what you wanted, or is it completely different? - Gabuxae (talk) 19:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Gabuxae: With perspective correction he just meant straightening out the distortion created by the camera lens. The lens distortion causes the building to lean in at the edges - it leans to the right on the left side of the photo and to the left on the right side. For a pretty mild example of what I mean see the changes made at File:Miradouro da Serra da Castanheira - Portugal (16402605263).jpg ReneeWrites (talk) 19:52, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I can't find any places on this image where lens distortion is noticeable. Every straight line is straight, unlike the original version of file you linked. - Gabuxae (talk) 19:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry if my wording wasn't clear enough. I meant that the verticals aren't quite vertical, not that the straight lines aren't straight. I was just hoping to give you some advice to help get this person through QI. You can find the guidelines here: COM:IG, the bottom section deals with perspective correction. ReneeWrites (talk) 21:29, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK. Uploaded a new version with only vertical lines made vertical - Gabuxae (talk) 19:30, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A smaller version (without errors) is given here. Is it possible to fix this file, or is it too corrupted? Joofjoof (talk) 04:00, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
✓ Done PawełMM (talk) 06:02, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The corruption in the middle may be fixable. The bottom is simply cut off. I can assemble a compound image, substituting a piece of upscaled preview when full version has a hole, but such photos don't usually look good. - Gabuxae (talk) 06:38, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@PawełMM: and @Joofjoof: I did not like the very short jacket of the third person from the left. Thus, I uploaded another version, which I stitched from the two photos with dissimilar resolutions. If you do not like this, or if you can do it better you may revert or overwrite my version, respectively. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 13:46, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove coin

[edit]

Article(s): species:Carmenta brachyclados; d:Q130403727, etc..

Request
Please overpaint the non-free coin with a black shape, matching the outline exactly. I will then request a revdel and update the description. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:46, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
@Pigsonthewing: Wouldn't it be sufficient and also better to remove the artwork, i.e. the portrait of The Queen? Or even remove the letters, as shown in another version within the file history? --NearEMPTiness (talk) 11:32, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done PawełMM (talk) 12:56, 3 October 2024 (UTC)4[reply]

Thank you, but your version is not what I asked for: "overpaint the non-free coin with a black shape, matching the outline exactly". The coin is included as an indicator of scale, so its outline is still needed. I have reverted to the version by NearEMPTiness which matches that request most closely.

PERFECT! thank you so much Abo Yemen 06:42, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
can you upload it as a new version tho? because File:Taiz (15182373707) (cropped).jpg already exists and it is the same pic as the main one Abo Yemen 06:45, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen: I'm a bit iffy on overwriting an original file when it comes to non-trivial image restorations. But I had the cropped version removed as a duplicate (it was practically identical), so now it's just the original and retouched version. ReneeWrites (talk) 23:18, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
oh okay thanks Renee! you can mark this as resolved. Abo Yemen 05:26, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): en:Paul Martin (illustrator)

Request
I want to keep the image in the square shape as shown. No cropping is needed. But I want all the clutter removed from outside the outer black circular line. There's nothing to erase from the four touching corners, but the four areas in-between. Please blank it all out in an off-white, similar to the color of the wall in this image: File:Martin_gets_check.jpg. It's the middle picture in the WP article "Paul Martin (illustrator), under the heading "Gallery." It's like a standard white color which is made less bright, so the edges show up. Thanks.
