National Gallery Singapore: aerial view

• 
  Reference

Article(s): w:National Gallery Singapore

Request

Just inspired by above photo, which was taken in 2011. After two building were converted to National Gallery Singapore, I see it would be meaningful to take photo again for the same site and the similar viewpoint. It would be nice if anyone who have a drone to do so. 😀 -- Great Brightstar (talk) 17:47, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

Original photographer here; I shot it from the top of Marina Bay Sands with a superzoom (Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38) so a drone isn't needed. Good luck! cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 00:50, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Request

Please remove the concentric circle overlay. It's centered on the base/resonator of his instrument, and one circle overlaps with his face (look under his nose). Thank you so much! --Zanahary (talk) 18:35, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

@Zanahary: In my opinion, working here makes no sense. The watermark is almost invisible, and removing it would require an amount of work disproportionate to the expected effect. PawełMM (talk) 07:11, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Paweł! Could you try adjusting levels as well, please? ᴀlbanɢeller (talk) 11:28, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

@Neveselbert (mobile): Done as requested. PawełMM (talk) 13:52, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

@PawełMM: thanks again, although I think the descreening reduces the quality somewhat, so could you try adjusting levels without descreening? Much appreciated, ᴀlbanɢeller (talk) 16:24, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

@PawełMM:  thanks, though the colours still look pretty washed out. Is there anything you could do it to enhance the colours, similar to this version? ᴀlbanɢeller (talk) 18:39, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

@Neveselbert (mobile): I think, now is OK. PawełMM (talk) 06:23, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Paweł, though could you look at removing the black border around the image as well, please? I think a little descreening might do some good, though not as much as last time, if that's possible. Much appreciated, as always, ᴀlbanɢeller (talk) 14:47, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

@Neveselbert (mobile): Done as requested, PawełMM (talk) 06:30, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks again Paweł. Would you be able to look at descreening and sharpening the image as well, please? ᴀlbanɢeller (talk) 18:49, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

@Neveselbert (mobile): Done as requested. PawełMM (talk) 19:54, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Patches (Hawkes)

Category:Patches (Hawkes) Can the images in this category be whitened, please? Thanks! SnowyCinema (talk) 18:46, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

@SnowyCinema: Should the background be white or transparent? PawełMM (talk) 07:25, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

@PawełMM: I'd prefer white. The transparency would look weird on certain backgrounds (like dark view). SnowyCinema (talk) 12:28, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Please try your best to remove the "Univ of California" stamps from these images in the 1928 book Growing Up. I understand if some of them may be too difficult, but these versions of the images with the stamps from HathiTrust had more clarity than IA's images (in a rare instance where that's the case).

Large unwanted spot

Article(s): en:Dust bowl, etc.

Request

I think this image has a great potential, but there is a large unwanted spot at the top (see note), and I don't know how to remove that, or at least make the transition smooth. Please use the XCF file to avoid further compression artifacts. --Yann (talk) 17:50, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
