Can you please have a look at my Benghazi Benghazi Mu'tamarat Sha'bia map on Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Image workshop? It seems like it might have been forgotten? thanks a lot... Jaw101ie (talk) 06:53, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not likely to work on this, as I have other things to do at the moment. However, I can offer a few suggestions as to why it isn't being snatched up by other people:

This isn't a completely trivial vector conversion, due to JPEG artefacts and complex elements in your map.
Doing this "properly" would require going back to official maps of the area, and the source is not hyperlinked in the original picture
Some lines are smooth, others are jagged with sharp corners, and some have varying thickness (i.e. borders are unclear). This inconsistency doesn't seem like what was intended in the picture
There is an overlap of a few line segments at the top of region 23, resulting in a cross shape, which is unlikely to be wanted in the final version

There's usually no need to go back to user talk pages to ask for something on Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Image workshop to be done, that's the point of the page. If you have an issue with something not being done, mention it on the Image workshop page, so that other people can understand your concerns. gringer (talk) 01:35, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oklahoma City memorial panoramic shots

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 07:06, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On a recent road trip, I took some pictures of the Oklahoma City National Memorial for use in this panorama. I thought it was pretty good, but when I nominated it at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Oklahoma City memorial, people pointed out several stitching errors (as well as an overexposure). I'd like someone who's better with Hugin than I am to take another whack at this one. I have the original shots here.

I also have a second set of panoramic shots here if someone wants to stitch those together as well. Raul654 (talk) 20:28, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

*Poke*. Anyone planning to do this one? Raul654 (talk) 07:10, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think unless the pictures was taken with a proper pano-head then it's nearly impossible to put back together without some stitching errors. Secondly the overexposed building is forever lost, once the detail is blown out you can't get it back. If you shot in RAW that might be different. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 15:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): I think we should convert to SVG. Isn't there a bot that does the image changes? --Blacklemon67 (talk) 21:25, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It will be easier probably to convert it to SVG, and then if you like the new look, save it as a PNG. Also note that the reason it's used so many places is because it's used in templates like {{Malaysian Expressway System}}. It will be extremely easy to replace it with an SVG then; I've done similar things many times. 76.117.247.55 (talk) 23:31, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about creating current image for popular and core sports such as athletics, boxing, hockey & swimming ?

Okay, I made the boxing one; the hockey one I already made before. I'll get to the swimming one later. Also, what do you mean by "athletics"? In regards to the basketball, what do you mean? The gradients match, so I'm kind of confused. --Pbroks13^talk? 18:29, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A panorama of the interior of Maiden Castle

Reduced seams and white space

Article(s): Maiden Castle, Dorset

Request: The article is currently a Featured Article candidate and an editor has commented that the image needs the colours tweaking. At the moment, it's very clear that the panorama is several different images stuck together and the different light levels is a bit distracting.

Their seems to have been some error in the program that made it. I used Gimp to try to get it out until I found the right balance but their was some sort of trasniton that I didn't see zooming.

Also when I tried hugin again it showed a fragment in the left hand corner where their is a small triangle missing but then it disappeared.Irunongames • play 18:43, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Coat of arms of the Republic of Macedonia

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 10:28, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[SVG version]
We, at the Macedonian Wikipedia and on Commons in general, are facing one problem concerning the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Macedonia. The problem is in the design of the COA in the only SVG version existing on Commons (and being used everywhere). The particualr problem are the colours of the COA and the star that could be found at the top of the emblem. Below is a description of the problem in details.
The coat of arms as it should be
(unfortunately, only in GIF)

Article(s): Republic of Macedonia, Coat of arms of the Republic of Macedonia and many other politics and government related articles.

Request: As you can see, the problem is in the colours of the COA and in the star that is at the top of the emblem. First of all the colour of the opium poppy is wrong, it is not light brown, but dark brown. Secondly, the colour of the lines that come out of the spikes should be dark grey and the last problem concerning the colours is the colour of the sky. Besides the colours, there is another problem with star. As you can see, the star in the current version is bordered with yellow lines, but it should not. There should be a white line that goes near the borders of the star.

We have tried to correct this problem, but without any success. Since your team has excellent results concerning the vector images, we hope that you will solve our problem. We need a new SVG coat of arms, a modified version of the existing one, in accordance to the instructions, i.e. to look as close as possible to the GIF version (right).

That the coat of arms should look indeed like we are claiming testify these links to official government websites, where you can see what we mean in each case (plus the passports).

Please contact me here on my talk page on en. wiki for any queries, or even on mk.wiki, where I am administrator Б. Јанкулоски. I would be very greatful to know how the work is going. Thank you very much in advance B. Jankuloski (talk) 11:53, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shrink fair-use image

Request: Found this fair-use image, needs to be shrunk (probably to about 66% of the current size...so far it is only used at about 50% of the current size, at least on my browser, but I guess some wiggle room should be left). Unfortunately, right now the only 'image editing' software I have is MS Paint, and this is a .gif; if I try saving as .gif in Paint it loses most of the color. Should be easy to shrink, though, for anyone who has photoshop.

Article(s): University of Oslo

Request: File:Seal_of_the_University_of_Oslo.jpg is from 1842 and in the public domain, but in very low quality. If someone could redraw it in better quality, without background, it would be great - a free version of the university seal, that can be uploaded to Commons and used on other projects which do not allow fair use, would be greatly appreciated. The seal shows Apollo with the Lyre, and the text is "UNIVERSITAS REGIA FREDERICIANA".

A better quality version of the free 1842 version isn't available, but check out this drawing of the seal, used in a 1926 Festschrift, which is almost the same. A redrawed version doesn't have to be 100 % identical to the 1842 version, the important thing is the motive (Apollo with the Lyre), and the text UNIVERSITAS REGIA FREDERICIANA.

Graphist opinion(s):

Done Not sure what you meant about making the "shape look better", but I converted the image to PNG and made the background transparent.

BTW, the trick I usually use for cases like this one is, briefly:

Use the magic wand tool to select the background only.
Expand the selection by one pixel to include any anti-aliased pixels between the object and the background.
Apply "Color to alpha" only to the selected area.
Test on different backgrounds to see how the result looks. You may need to blend some of the background color back into the semitransparent pixels: you can do this by converting the transparency to a layer mask, creating another layer below with the same mask but filled with the background color, and then adjusting curves for the mask of the lower layer until it looks good (you generally want a strongly S-shaped curve).

Penang Map

Plain Penang map
Penang map with labels

Request: I believe both of the images were created using Adobe Illustrator that leaves a large size of transparent background around it. Would someone do me a favour by removing it (the transparent background on both of the images)? And there are also another minor mistake on File:Penang-labels.svg. The "n" word was hidden, can someone make it visible by moving the whole word to the left a bit? Please do not remove the big black dot. Thanks

Ohh, almost forgot, fyi this is the map that I've requested a month ago on GL. Arteyu ? _{Blame it on me !} 17:03, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: I've removed the borders. I moved "George Town" left a bit: it still looks wrong on the description page File:Penang-labels.svg but good (rendered in Firefox 3) when you click on the image there. I think this is renderer-specific (and text-anchor="~~right~~end" doesn't seem to help). I suspect we need to replace 'MyriadPro-Regular' by one of the Meta:SVG fonts - any suggestions, Arteyu? Can someone else fix this better, or must we give up and move the name above/below the dot? Certes (talk) 10:27, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you may do it as you please. The Georgetown word can be moved to the top or to the bottom of the big dot, or you can also change the font type. It's up to you (: Arteyu ? _{Blame it on me !} 18:04, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"George Town" now moved above the dot, so it can grow as long as it likes. Maybe one day we will be able to do this better with a {{Location map}}. Certes (talk) 20:16, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Kernow lb.png - SVGification

Resolved

This is File:Kernow lb.png a map about the language shift of the Cornish language. It's grainy, poorly coloured, unclear and needs SVGification...
...The colours and look of this map may be a possibe way to redesign the image?
...Or this is another (preferable) one which is simillar and ideally would be used as the basis for a new map.
...this is a map of Cornwall in SVG (without the Isles of Scilly and the rest of England) which could be used to speed things up?

Request: A newer, sharper, clearer SVG image would be more befitting to the forthcoming, revamped version of the Cornish people article. There are other maps of Cornwall (for reference) here. The content of the map is verifiable, and is based on a page in "K. George, Cornish, in: M. Ball (ed.), (1993) The Celtic Languages".

Notice: The place names are in the Cornish language and should be in English (for the English WP). Truru should be spelt Truro, Pensans should be spelt Penzance and please ignore "Foath". --Jza84 | Talk 13:38, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done: The PNG file is corrupt: it does not have required IEND-chunk at the end [6]. Which program did you use to create it? --Petteri Aimonen (talk) 18:56, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The crystal structures are created with ViewerLite 4.2 (accelrys.com, 2001) - can't avoid using that program for now. Then they are processed with another soft, usually ACDSee 3.0 (1999) or GIMP 2.2. Processing is just crop and resize. Some other PNGs (e.g. File:HARDCOMP.PNG) are created in Origin 3.5 (again, old 16 bit soft), exported into BMP and then converted to PNG with ACDsee 3.0 (GIMP crashes upon conversion).

Important is not the image itself, but that I did and will produce dozens-hundreds of such. So far I use JPG and sporadically get comments "please convert to SVG or PNG". A word of advice would be appreciated (no, can't install any soft on my PC). Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 23:20, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GIMP crashing upon conversion sounds a bit strange. However, all your images seem to be broken in the same way. Because you do not want to install any software, I made a script: http://koti.kapsi.fi/jpa/stuff/other/addpngend.cgi . You can upload your image there, then it will offer to download a fixed version. Note that this does not fix anything else than missing IEND chunk. --Petteri Aimonen (talk) 14:30, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Tested. Works. Many thanks! I naively though GIMP crashed because of missing IEND. I might install software, but not any. Which program can fix this ? Materialscientist (talk) 23:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Atleast my GIMP 2.6 opens those files and "Save as" fixes the problem. --Petteri Aimonen (talk) 04:31, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Hello. There are SVG versions of all of the arms of the officers within this authority (compare scanned versions to SVG versions), but the arms of the College itself can only be found on this illustration taken from this 16 century roll of arms. As far as Wikimedia is concerned, the status of this coat of arms is no different from those of its officers.

Baltimore Tram improvements

Baltimore Tram network 1945
SVG by ZooFari

Article(s): Maryland Transit Administration

Request: I would love to see this image "cleaned up". That could mean a lot of things from complete SVGing of the map to just a removal of the really bad fonts and drop shadows. Obviously, it would be best to have clean lines without text running over them and proper format (PNG, SVG). Any improvement would be great and hopefully we will eventually get a decent Baltimore street car article going. gren グレン 09:11, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by ZooFari. Done I wasn't able to fix some of the overlapping issues, as there was no other way, but I was able to do some. How's that? Zoo Fari 06:43, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I used red for the lines, as it is better to distinguish them from the text, IMO. I can change to black if that doesn't work for you. Zoo Fari 06:45, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work. Can the "N: not to scale: schematic reproduction(?)" bottom left be removed or is it better to translate it? Certes (talk) 19:04, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I actually think a fork between the Dutch version and an English might be nice? You can keep that as is and use it on the Dutch pages to replace their version. On the English page I think it would be great to add a little key / infobox on the bottom left that said "not to scale" / Baltimore Traction Company / tram network / 1945 however all of that fits best.

I can't define what is or what should be there, or what needs translation. The "Baltimore Traction Company Trammnet 1945" was removed, since we don't need the title within the diagram. That's not part of any legend. However I did think about the lower left text. Should I take Certes's suggestion? Zoo Fari 06:09, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, it doesn't need to be in the diagram and I don't know what the colors meant specifically in the original diagram to make a key based on colors. (It's line name, street name, and something else). As for the lower left. You can decide whether to put "not drawn to scale" or just remove it completely. But, I'd upload the edited version into a new file on Wikimedia so the Dutch can still use their version with the Dutch text if they want. I tend to think it doesn't need "not drawn to scale" since it is rare for diagrams of this size to be to scale but I'll let you use your judgment.

One thing I forgot to mention was "Eutow". I am pretty sure that was a typo in the Dutch version for Eutaw street which is a street right in downtown Baltimore. I tried searching for any references to Eutow but I couldn't find any so I think you're safe to change it to Eutaw. The same goes (but with a lesser degree of certainty) for PATA ... which I think is referring to Paca St. right West of Eutaw. This map shows both of them side by side just as on the diagram. And Cilmor should most likely be Gilmor... just give me a quick reply whether you want to change them or not. Since you used <text> elements I can easily go in and change any references to that and I'm going to try to go to my university's library and find a good book to check any of these references out. Hmm, and this map from the BTCO site seems to corroborate my guesses. I will look into this more when I am less tired. gren グレン 08:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'm going to remove the bottom left, as we don't need disclaimers in diagrams. I'm going to leave this one alone and I'll upload an English version that we can modify. Zoo Fari 16:31, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
