Request: Could someone help me out with this image? I uploaded the image, but unfortunately for some reason it was cut wrongly.

@Centpacrr:, thanks a lot, looks neat! Could you also perhaps remove the two bar at the bottom, under the image? Basically the bar with Arabic text and the one under it (Latin text)? That should finish it. Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 19:09, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Watermark removed. I might have a go at using Lens Blur to 'remove' the other person later. The masking will be quite tricky. nagual design 15:32, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Removing that guy might be a bit too much for an encyclopedia... I'm not sure. I could do it with cropping and duping the crowd, but that's an awfully heavy hand to take. Does anyone else have thoughts about doing this much editing to an image? MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 15:44, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a quick test that I did using Lens Blur. [dead link removed] Obviously the masking needs to be tidied up but I think the effect looks okay. What would be heavy-handed is cropping out Prince Charles/replacing the background with something made up. What do you think of my test image? nagual design 15:52, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see it (I'm at work, and they block the site you used). You could upload it, and we could revert if needed.

I agree that cropping and painting out the guy would be heavy handed, that's what I was trying to say. If your lens blur effect looks good, I'd vote for that over any airbrushing type changes. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 15:57, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rather not upload a half-finished image to the Commons. I've got my reputation to think of, dontyaknow!
