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)

Graphist opinion(s)

• @MrKeefeJohn: Did you know you can crop these images yourself by using the CropTool that can be activated in your commons Preferences, under Gadgets. The CropTool will then appears in the left side of your screen. It saves everyone a lot of time because it transfers all the correct and appropriate information into the cropped image, such as source, license, author, etc. It even leaves a backlink to the original and visa versa so long as the original has been positively reviewed. That way all the proper information is there and does not need to be manually reviewed by volunteers. If you are just cropping a small bit of the image like a frame you can decide to overwrite the original image but for more major crops you should upload the copped version as a separate new image, but you have a choice. You can save time and effort of other editors by using the CropTool. Ww2censor (talk) 13:43, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

@Ww2censor: I didn't, but now I know. Very good advice. Thank you very much. MrKeefeJohn (talk) 13:55, 29 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)

Further restoration work requested

  Trial of Gaetano Bresci

Article(s): Gaetano Bresci

Request

This illustration was already restored with the fine work of PawełMM. But I have now submitted the image for featured picture candidacy, and the reviewers are requesting that further restoration work be carried out to improve the quality at the page join in the middle of the image. If this is too much extra work, I'm willing to take the L on the review, but just thought I'd ask. Cheers. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:47, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

 Done @Grnrchst: I improved the connection a bit. I don't know if this is enough, but further action may cause too far-reaching changes compared to the original image. Regards PawełMM (talk) 11:06, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
