Would it be possible, please, to clean up the image, particularly the (sticky tape?) marks all round the edge? Any clarification of the rather dim image would also be most welcome. Tim riley talk08:57, 31 October 2018 (UTC)reply
You have kindly removed vendors' watermarks from images before, and I'd be very grateful if you could do the same for this one: the watermark runs vertically down the right-hand side. Tim riley talk22:52, 5 November 2018 (UTC)reply
Please create a crop image of Aires Ali out of this pic. I tried to do that myself by using the crop tool, but for some reason I was unable to do so (the notification mentioned some html problem with original pic). Maybe someone more experienced would be able to grasp what the problem is. --

Because that png was my original request that I asked for. I have already fixed the jpg file name which was also not what I requested. Please follow the whole request if you're going to do these. I very much appreciate your work, when you follow the request--

Note: If you have an unpleasant reaction to trypophobic images, don't click the links below.
Hi, this is a follow-up to
a previous request regarding trypophobic images, which are images that have a particular type of pattern that can cause some viewers acute distress including physical symptoms.
PawełMM, Thanks for the image you provided previously; it is much appreciated, and it engendered much discussion at
Talk:Trypophobia#Discussion. After significant back-and-forth about the progressive gif, a new idea was proposed by
Flyer22 Reborn (
here) which might help, to wit: filling in the holes, but making sure the pattern is visible.
Flyer would have the last word on exactly what they she would like to see here, but as I envisioned it from her words: imagine the original, fixed image remaining as is, except that all the holes are filled in with an opaque paint color a scant shade darker (or lighter?) than the surrounding pod surface, perhaps eyedropped from the color of the average crater rim surrounding the hole[a] and darkened up just a tiny bit.[b] Around each filled-in hole, there could be a thin (1px?) border line of a slightly contrasting color (#FFDC7C? pick whatever works) outlining the present elliptically-shaped countour of the hole. The overall result should look at first glance like a lotus with the crater rims intact but all the holes gone, but upon closer examination, having a pale vestige of where the holes used to be. If the border ellipses are a pain in the neck, or appear too prominent, maybe it's easier to just use the color fill-in with no border. I'd definitely wait for Flyer to check in, though, before spending any time on this. Thanks,

Notes
^I eyedroppered a few of the crater rims, and got these: #A2B096, #A3AF99, #A5B399, #ACB8A0, #B9BA98, #C1CAB5.
^Darkened a tiny bit: maybe darker by 080808 or by 101010? Or, maybe lighter by the same amount; would have to see it to see what looks good. For the first crater rim value of #A2B096 XXXXXX , darker by 080808 is #9AA88D XXXXXX , and darker by 101010 is #92A086 XXXXXX . The latter with an #FFDC7C border is XXXXXX .
Thanks, but I imagined it more like how it might look, if you literally took the lotus and held the pod parallel to the ground, and then carefully poured green paint into each hole, until the paint filled up each hole completely. The little round things and the red tip would all be covered up, "underwater" so to speak. That said, if Flyer hasn't shown up to comment, maybe it's not worth it right now. I thank you for your effort!

PawełMM Then please create a separate png version with fixed contrast between her and the background, same name except extension, as technique aside the subject needs to be seen better. That way the original can preserve the technique if it's important.--

@
KCVelaga: That's kind of a huge subject, it's hard to know where to begin with it. There's a lot of judgement and "stuff that works only in specific situations" too. I'm not real sure that advising a brand newb on how best to restore photos is a particularly effective strategy. It would be better to come here, even for "training" purposes. Some of the volunteers here (including myself) would be happy to explain in detail what we did and why to restore images posted here. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPantsTell me all about it.16:40, 19 October 2018 (UTC)reply
please split into 4 files, remove background and straighten, named File:21st World Scout Jamboree neckerchief (top rainbow); File:Cumberland Gang Show, New South Wales neckerchief (right red); File:1st Cherrybrook Scout Group, New South Wales neckerchief (bottom brown); and File:Scouts Australia national neckerchief -2017 (left ochre)… --

Hello. I uploaded this envelope with company cachet, about six months ago. The original (subpar) camera shot was uploaded to a CD. The shot is problematic due to its awkward positioning, which also clipped off part of the lower left corner (of envelope). It can't be redone (age factor of other party). Details are explained in the description line at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:OJGude.jpg. It's important to save, as contains original info which would be otherwise lost to history. The building should be standing upright and not be slanted downward, but reckon nothing can be done about that (as it would alter other parts of cachet). It backs up detail in the Wikipedia article "Paul Martin (illustrator)." The letter is reachable there through references #128 & 210.
Anyway, I was hoping that someone at "Commons" can lighten it up while increasing its sharpness. The envelope looks too dark. I think it would look more presentable if lightened up. I don't have the ability to make any proper correction with my basic image editor. I can lighten it up, but then unfortunately, the text/image also becomes lighter. The words "Drawn by P.M" on the envelope are in pencil, but should be darker. The image size is purposely very large to make editing easier. In reality, it should be downsized to no lower than 1024 x 768 pixels. Thanks.

@
MjolnirPants: Thanks for adjusting the colors. That does look much better. I might downsize it just a spec later, on my own (from 3285 x 1373 pixels). OTOH. I've noticed some cachet envelopes on Commons in the MB size range. BTW. I touched up part of my above request while you were working on the image, but it didn't change anything important.

Done. I uploaded in 2 steps - [1] just label removal, [2] minimal cleanup - so that you can easily revert the second step if not desired. --Begoon23:33, 29 November 2018 (UTC)reply
