Cenk Uygur image needs logo-washing and shadow work

Article(s): Cenk Uygur

Request: I think this nice image could be either cropped or filled in some of the background to reduce the corporate presence. Also, perhaps a little shadow work could even out the lighting. Thanks very much. Ocaasi ^c 22:26, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

I took a shot at it here: File:Cenk_Uygur_at_Streamys_cropped.jpg. It's pretty basic but maybe works.

I Further edited File:Cenk_Uygur_at_Streamys_cropped.jpg to remove background. JBarta (talk) 20:08, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

I suggested File:Scedrin-Plisecka1.JPG, which apears on composer Rodion Shchedrin and elsewhere, for DYK and was told that it is too dark, not showing the faces. Can you improve it? Possibly under a new file name, as suggested by Michael Bednarek who wrote: "I think you will get much more competent assistance from the Wikipedia:Graphic Lab, particularly from the Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Photography workshop. As the image File:Scedrin-Plisecka1.JPG is used on many Wikipedias, I suggest not to overwrite the original but to upload it under a different name." --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:34, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Request: Can you convert them to .PNG ? Make sure there are no missing or scrapped parts. --Kungfu2187 (talk) 00:34, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): I assume the reason for the requested conversion is that you want a transparent background? Is that correct? JBarta (talk) 01:09, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Yes. Make sure there are no missing or scrapped parts. --Kungfu2187 (talk) 03:36, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

I didn't convert to PNG, but I did lighten the images as they were much too dark. Hopefully you'll approve. Regarding a transparent background, my opinion is that the images are too low of a resolution to make the background transparent. Sure, you can make the white areas transparent, but the anti-aliasing around the weapon is the problem area. Place the image on a darker background and it will have a halo around it. In order to remove the halo, the edges of the weapon must be removed. Either way, it's a problem and the result is a substandard image. I think the quality solution is to simply leave the image as a jpg on a white background. In other words, do nothing. JBarta (talk) 02:31, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Request: This image needs to be enlarged and enhanced. Kungfu2187 (talk) 09:44, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): Images cannot actually be "enlarged and enhanced". Sure, you can double the size, but then you end up with a larger image of even lower quality. Your best bet is to leave it as it is, and if you want it displayed larger on the page, then just use the "size" attribute in the wiki markup. And of course, you could always get yourself a higher resolution image to play with. JBarta (talk) 01:03, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

No enlagred. I confirm enhanced. --Kungfu2187 (talk) 03:36, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

It's good, thanks but I don't like the face as it looks now. It's a bit too blurry with those unneeded dots. Vearthy (talk) 20:18, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

I've removed the spots. What do you think? – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 23:14, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Compared to the original photo, left side of the man's face is brighter while the right side is nearly as dark. Vearthy (talk) 19:56, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

The face is now the same brightness as the original. I didn't want to lighten the shadows and keep the highlights the same level, that would ruin the contrast. What do you think? – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 21:00, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

I took a shot at this. Started with the original from the U of T website. Adjusted brightness & contrast. Gamma-corrected it a little lighter. The original is pixelated (grainy) because of a low quality jpg scan (or poor conversion). Attempts to "smooth" such an image usually don't go very well. You end up with a "smoother" image, but you lose a lot of detail and the image just doesn't look right. Sort of a garbage in, garbage out situation. I think this slightly lightened image is perfectly presentable for an old photo. JBarta (talk) 12:03, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

I see, looks good. Maybe what I did was overkill. Vearthy can resolve this if he's happy with it. : ) – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 08:43, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

The picture color should look like this other painting (by the same painter, BTW), which also despicts Cabral. My request is: could the color be fixed and match the other painting's color? The correct color scheme of this painting can be seen here. Thanks, Lecen (talk) 14:32, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

 Done: Not perfect, but an improvement. JBarta (talk) 08:04, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Jbarta, could you lighten the color tone a little bit more? He looks too much tanned. Also, it seems you've used an older version of the painting. [This is the one you should have worked on]. Thanks, --Lecen (talk) 11:36, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

I noticed AFTER uploading that the orange version was not a decendant of the original version. What's up with that? And why is it important to work on one rather than the other? They both show pretty much the same thing. As far as tweaking the colors, I'll pass. I've gotten it about as good as I can get it. If someone else wants to make him look "less tan", knock yourself out. JBarta (talk) 12:03, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

My God. No need to be so rude. Never mind, then. --Lecen (talk) 13:05, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

I have red colour some balanced. I tried do it better, but it is not possible for me. PawełMM (talk) 15:24, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

People, there really is no need to resort to smaller, lower quality images. JBarta's version just needed a bit of lightening and contrast adjustment. -MissMJ (talk) 01:29, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Request: Someone's suggested to me in a peer review for Starkiller that the image could do with a little lightening and possible some sharpening. As I have no idea how to do any of that kind of thing myself, I hope someone more savvy can help.

I'm pretty sure it's a transformation-shaman (prehistoric Mighty Morphin Power Priest) -- there are some great rock-paintings along the Pecos at the Rio Grande, down in South Texas, with HUGE versions of that theme (serpent -> shaman morphs).
