Graphist opinion(s)

I don't usually like doing these, because so much of the face is obscured. With this one there was enough available to clone that I thought the result I got was not completely awful, and worth showing. I'm not sure I'd use it, because it still recreates significant areas of the face that were not present, but there it is to look at. -- Begoon 00:37, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I took a look at the hex, and I'm not sure if this is the result of some automatic process during the upload or a previous attempt to repair the file, but the hex says those blocks are actually solid #ffffff, so there's nothing I can really do except for the crop. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 16:38, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@MPants at work and Nyttend: These errors occur when the connection is broken during image transfer. PawełMM (talk) 17:29, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't realize that. I had it happen once, File:Bridge 246 at Patoka, eastern side.jpg, so I requested deletion and reuploaded it, but the second upload was identical to the first, as you can see from the fact that it was cropped by a couple of other editors more than a year after the original upload. Nyttend (talk) 20:25, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. I would bet that the software on the wiki servers either creates the file locally and then streams in the data as you upload, or does some automatic repair, hence why it displays at all. It could, possibly be firefox, which I used to download a copy of the image, but like I said, the hex showed actual 8x16px blocks making up the bottom 1/3 of the image. I had hopes that it was a couple of corrupt blocks screwing up the rest, in which case I could manually fix them or fill in the blanks from my imagination, but alas, twas not to be. The only way to recover the missing data would be to re-upload the file, and that's assuming the original file wasn't corrupted. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 20:33, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Was FFFFFF correct? To me it's grey, which I suppose would be 808080 or C0C0C0. Nyttend (talk) 20:41, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

White is what was displayed when I right-clicked the image and selected "View image", as well as when I downloaded it. But the thumbnails (including the larger preview on the image page) did show a medium grey, which is why I was going on so much about how it happened; it's a little bit of a mystery. I know a few things about jpeg compression, and I know how to look stuff up (and I'm also a digital artist), but I'm not specifically an expert in digital imagery data. A real expert would probably know off the top of their head what exactly happened, how and why. But I do believe that Pavel is correct; it's a fairly common occurrence. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 21:07, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
