Vasil Nosi and Sokrat Dodbiba[edit]

Article(s): en:Sokrat Dodbiba and articles on the subject in other Wikipedias

Request: It would be great if the watermark could be removed; any other improvements that experts see as sensible would also be welcome! The local image for the subject currently in use on enwiki is unfortunately copyrighted in the US due to the URAA and will have to be removed, so this is the only one we have. Felix QW (talk) 09:17, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Done. Two versions created: one with only watermark removed (possibly overwrite-ready, currently in history) and a heavily corrected one. Choose your poison - Gabuxae (talk) 15:10, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for taking on the "stale" task, and for doing such a good job - it is highly appreciated. I am not sure what the convention is for overwriting watermarked files, so feel free to do as you deem fit. I replaced the crop on the English Wikipedia article with one from your restored version. Felix QW (talk) 10:01, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure either. It may count as historical (even though I'm not doing digital restoration in first part). Either way, I'm technically denied the ability to overwrite, while you are autopatrolled. As for English Wikipedia article, I feel the benefit of change is questionable. Maybe a white background would help? - Gabuxae (talk) 19:08, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The scratches seemed needlessly distracting to me, so I definitely think your restoration is an improvement for the English Wikipedia article. However, I suppose that is for the editors there to decide. The only reason I was concerned with this in the first place is that I nominated the image that was originally there for deletion as a copyright violation and felt duty-bound to search out the best possible alternative.

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]

@PawełMM What are you saying? Aurelio de Sandoval (Mensajes aquí please) 21:46, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Aurelio de Sandoval: Unfortunately, resolution cannot be improved without a new source. The image can be enlarged, but this is an artificial procedure that does not introduce any new information. If you want a better resolution, you need to search for such an image on the Internet. PawełMM (talk) 06:00, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a candidate photo for quality images (see here). It needs perspective correction. Currently it is leaning quite severely. Could someone do this for me? I don't have much understanding of photo editing. I might not do it right! --S. Perquin (talk) 15:49, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perspective correction[edit]

The Crossing at River Lake apartment building in the neighborhood of Pocket in Sacramento, California.

Request: This is currently a QI candidate (see last photo here). If you zoom in on either apartment building, you'll see it's slightly leaning to the side; this is what the reviewer said. I'm not experienced in photo manipulation software, so I'm wondering if someone could do this for me (if it's possible to fix)? Thanks in advance!! RONIN TALK 03:28, 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]
