The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps.
This specific page is the requests page for the photography workshop. Anyone can make a request for a photograph to be improved for a Wikipedia article. The standard format for making a request is shown below, along with general advice, and should be followed.

Advice to requesters

All requests:

  • Please make sure your request is "legitimate" by copyright. If the image(s) are in the public domain or freely licensed, you are fine. If the image(s) are "Fair use", there are only certain things we can do with them without falling afoul of Wikipedia's fair-use policies.
    • If you are requesting assistance with a copyright or fair-use image, don't display it on this page; place {{GLNF|Example.png|caption|align=left}} to create a link to it. Do not add the File: extension. Our fair-use policy does not allow displaying fair-use images out of their articles on ANY account.
  • Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed.
  • If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.

SVG requests:

  • Make sure your request can actually BE vectorized. Note that vector drawings are not suitable for certain applications. We generally use SVG format for icons, logos, drawings, maps, flags, and such. Certain things, photographs especially, are totally impossible to vectorize.
  • Per our non-free content policy, vectorization of copyrighted images is not permitted. If a vectorized non-free image is desired, seek out such an image from the copyright holder.

    Demo of cleaned up version. 1px median filtering used, right-hand side.

Article(s): Peter Hardeman Burnett

Request: Remove noise, convert to black and white. Please upload it under a new file, however. Thank you. Connormah (talk | contribs) 02:42, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):
The best time to do this would have been before the crop as to get rid of noise the best way is to use a median filter. Unfortunately that blurs the image and removes detail so you have to sharpen it afterwards to try to get some of the detail back, without,of course, bringing the noise back with it. So the more resolution one has to play with the better. I've downloaded the original pre-cropped version. It's 3am here so I'll leave it for tomorrow unless someone else wants to have a go before I check in tomorrow (today).--Fred the Oyster (talk) 02:55, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've uploaded a demo of noise reduction using the median filter, it is subtle but if you look at the eyes you'll see the difference. Personally I prefer the original half-tone noise as it's more natural to the eye. I did take the liberty of cleaning up the stain/crease on the lower right, as well so some other dirt spots. All of these things are un-doable as I used different layers for each stage and used a 16bit version in Lab mode. Which version do you prefer?--Fred the Oyster (talk) 21:28, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Incidentally, it's much lighter than the Commons version as the original image had a greyscale calibration bar so I was able to get it close to how it should be. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 21:29, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
May I suggest using Fourier analysis for this task? It will remove most of the interference patterns while preserving the details. (Less-than-perfect JPEG quality will lessen the effectiveness of the method a bit in this case). If you haven't tried this before, Fred, then I recommend giving it a shot; it's a very powerful tool to own, if you're into image restoration! —Quibik (talk) 22:16, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I didn't know about the FFT filter (which unfortunately doesn't work on a Mac), I have used Colormancer Boundary Noise Reduction filter in the past for the same thing. But if I were doing this restoration for a paying client or for archival purposes I wouldn't use either filter. They're far too drastic. I'm old school, and work on the premise that when restoring the whole idea is to alter as few pixels as possible. Anything more isn't "restoration" but "alteration". It's fine to remove stuff like dirt, scratches, stains, crease etc as they weren't there when the image was created, and of course colour correction. Removing half-tone print patterns is a no-no as far as I'm concerned as that is an original part of the image and is a far too drastic alteration. For me, restoration is the act of getting as close to the original as possible. This is part of the reason I haven't taken part in the Commons restoration projects, apart from it being a 'busman's holiday', I don't agree with the way a lot of it is done. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 10:39, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Campbell Brown

Request: First crop the out the words on top of the photo and crop out the bottom part of the skirt. Then please upload, http://www.flickr.com/photos/34457952@N00/3112077307/. Thanks - Tyughjbn (talk) 15:00, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

 Not done While the flickr uploader put a creative commons tag on it, the image of Brown is a copyright violation of a CNN photo. We can't use it here. Wine Guy~Talk 04:25, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Lady Gaga

Request: Please improve the quality of the images, like previously done for File:Gaga on Fame Ball1-edit.jpg. They are recent most images of the artist, but needs the improvement to be included in the infobox. --Legolas (talk2me) 11:53, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): I've done some work on the second one, someone with more skill can probably enhance it further though. Wine Guy~Talk 18:23, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the second one. However, the first one is more difficult I believe. --Legolas (talk2me) 05:44, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Bodo League massacre

Request: Is there any way to depixellate this? Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 13:16, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): I've had a go at reducing the noise pixelation, if anyone else can achieve a better result, go for it. Fallschirmjäger 11:30, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's a great job. You're never going to get rid of it entirely as it's not pixellation, it's the results of dithering a full tone image down to 16 shades of grey or so. I suppose messing around with median or FFT filtering might be more successful but it's so low resolution with hardly any pixels to work with I doubt anyone could get it much better. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 14:08, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):It may be best to use the original jpeg. This is a ridiculous use of svg and should be a greyscale png. The original jpg was 19k, this svg is overly complex and weighs in at 847k. The trace isn't particularly good either. The uploader has simply done an autotrace and uploaded the result with no additional editing. And yup, my blood sugar is low :) --Fred the Oyster (talk) 23:55, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
