Article(s): Arthur R. M. Spaid
Request: 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 here. "Delaware Men of Affairs" (PDF). The Evening Journal. Wilmington, Delaware. 25 January 1919. p. 14. Archived from the original (PDF) on 14 September 2019.

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. -- Begoon 16:49, 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! -- West Virginian (talk) 00:29, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

De-watermark

Indian cycle track

Article(s): Cycle track
Request: 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? -- Nyttend (talk) 23:46, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion

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. -- Begoon 02:03, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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, --Usernameunique (talk) 13:52, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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. nagualdesign 17:50, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Inter-Allied Women's Conference participants from April
cropped & retouched picture by PawełMM

Article(s): Inter-Allied Women's Conference
Request: 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. SusunW (talk) 19:07, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion

Done Greyscale, straighten, contrast/brightness adjust. I may revisit and do some cleanup when I have time. (Hohum ^@) 20:10, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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. SusunW (talk) 20:51, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Photo of Kurt Rackow
restored image

Article(s): Kurt Rackow
Request: 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. -- Applodion (talk) 14:09, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
