  SVG shield

Article(s): Coat of arms of Turkey

Request: SVG ification. Arrange. Wheat, star, moon, shield, plume in coat of arms. Animal is wolf.-- Lord Leatherface ( talk) 20:53, 10 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Graphist opinion: This request is already on this page. -- SelfQ ( talk) 21:19, 10 August 2008 (UTC) reply

That request appears to have disappeared (Probably as "stale"). 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 17:30, 17 August 2008 (UTC) reply

I have been looking for a very long time for another version of this image. it would seem that there is none. The shiled itself is an easy part to do, the only main problem ( and the reason why it has not been done) is becouse of the seal bellow the shield and the wheat/feathers arround it. they are no clear enough nor there is a clear text (that i can read) in wich it describes what it should contain. so there is no way to realistically retrace it as svg - LadyofHats ( talk) 11:20, 23 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Could someone do the shield, at least (Since that seems easy), so when a better resolution image turns up, the rest can be done fairly easily? 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 01:14, 3 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Graphist opinion: How's that? -- pbroks13 ^talk? 23:55, 8 September 2008 (UTC) reply

looks good. There are some details which could be improved.

• last character in the k-row, red part: only the bottom "bowl" thick like that, the rest of the red part must be much thinner. Compare the different thickness of lines for p
• the two red characters in the l row have to have a hair stroke on the left, which is very thin. you can use the right column of this table http://www.omniglot.com/images/writing/sinhala_cons.gif as a model.
• for k and r, the pdf has lines of different thickness as well. Could you try to catch that in an svg?
• the r (6) seems unbalanced and very "hand-written", which has to do with line weight as well, I think

Thanks for you help! Jasy jatere ( talk) 10:40, 9 September 2008 (UTC) reply

I'd started a work on it but hadn't had a chance to upload until now. I've used the unicode characters from the Sinhala alphabet page (specifically p, k, r and ḷ from the consonants table and the a, u and ū from the vowels table. However, as you can see in the svg above I haven't completed the ku and kū because I can't see which characters in the table match the shapes in the pdf. Do you know which shape it should be, or if it is even in those tables, part of another character, etc? — ₪₪ ch1902 ₪₪ 11:19, 9 September 2008 (UTC) reply

for Lu/Luu, you can use the shapes provided for ä/ää.

for ku/kuu, there are no shapes you could copy in the imgs. The hook for short u is very similar to a Latin 'c'. The hook for uu varies, but if you take the right part of ruu and clip the 'tail' and bend it and then scale the whole thing down, you come close to it (hope that was clear ...)

Lu/Luu are missing the hairstroke on the left

smaller notes: the right arm of p should not touch the belly

The relative differences in thickness seem a bit too much, the thick parts can become a bit less Jasy jatere ( talk) 12:56, 9 September 2008 (UTC) reply

got inkscape and meddled a bit with the img. The L's are fine now. I do not know how to 'cut' stuff, so the red parts for ku and kuu still have their topmost line, which should probably deleted. The z-like part in kuu, ruu and Luu needs to be thicker, but I do not know how to do that either, so I would appreciate help there Jasy jatere ( talk) 00:03, 12 September 2008 (UTC) reply

  Alberta Taciuk Processor (ATP)

Article(s): Shale oil extraction

Request: The PNG is public domain (U.S. Gov). Looks ideal for converting into an SVG file. -- Kaldari ( talk) 23:55, 14 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Graphist opinion: I've had a good go at this one, but the resolution of the image is simply too low to get anything usable. I've also had a look at the source but I can't extract anything from that of significantly better quality. If all you want is a very abstracted view of the main chambers only (the colored bits) it would be possible to create that from scratch. The fine detail underneath the processor, however, is virtually unreadable even when magnified. Debate 木 12:28, 19 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Is that stuff down there absolutely critical? EG. I can tell that one part of it is a stairwell, which isn't very helpful other than giving scale... 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 03:22, 28 August 2008 (UTC) reply

According to the diagram there appears to be a range of other mechanical bits and pieces (motor, shale feed, riding rings, etc), in addition to some of the internal detail, that are too blurry to easily convert to SVG. Whether they are critical to the diagram or not is something only Kaldari can answer. Debate 木 08:58, 28 August 2008 (UTC) reply

I don't think those pieces are really critical to the diagram. Have a go at a simplified version and I'll let you know if anything really important is missing. Thanks! Kaldari ( talk) 20:19, 12 September 2008 (UTC) reply

I plan to change I changed the margins on this pic, mostly reducing the upper and lower margins. Then, I think I will try to fix up the *.PNG version a little. Maybe somebody can try something after that. H Padleckas ( talk) 07:02, 10 June 2009 (UTC) reply

I understand. Thanks for trying. I did create a basic GIF image for starters, Image:Obama McCain taxes.gif. See in the above gallery. Here are some bar chart possibilities if anybody can help: Commons:Bar chart (many bar charts organized by type).

(unindent)Maybe income tax percentages would be better than actual dollar amounts. Since the change in tax rates as a range of percentages is much smaller than the dollar changes. Percentages were used in the bar charts on pages 38, 39, 46 of [2].

Maybe dollar amounts could be used if the table was broken up into 2 bar charts. One would cover the lower 7 income brackets. The other bar chart would cover the upper 2 income brackets. I think this would look good, and be easily understood without having to have a wide range in variation of length in the bars. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 12:57, 13 September 2008 (UTC) reply

  Article(s): Sarah Palin   Request: Hi, this image is at the top of the article.  As you'll see at the image page, it was created by cropping a much larger image, zooming, and sharpening.  I did all this myself, but my software is crummy.  Can you do a better job?  Thanks. Ferrylodge ( talk) 01:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC)   Graphist opinion: Would you object to a wider crop—closer to the lectern, maybe just above the sheet of paper she's holding, and all the way to her right shoulder? Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 01:23, 21 September 2008 (UTC) reply

The main thing is to have the eyes centered.  Some people asked for that at the article talk page.  As far as how wide the crop is, please use your best judgment.  You folks are the experts, not me. :-)  Maybe you could do one with the existing crop, and one with the wider crop? Ferrylodge ( talk) 01:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Will give this a go tomorrow morning. Eyes will be centered :) Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 02:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC) reply

(undent) Thanks, I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with.  Do you think this image or this image might be better at the top of the article? Ferrylodge ( talk) 07:18, 21 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Quality-wise, the "tracksuit" image (which was in the article for quite a while) is still the best, despite the awkward composition. I think the one above is the best substitute right now. Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 15:19, 21 September 2008 (UTC) reply

OK, here we go. I've made three attempts; I recommend no. 2, but I'll leave it up to you to decide which is best :) Please let me know which one you'd like to keep and I'll move it to Commons under a more descriptive filename. Best, Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 15:44, 21 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Okay, I'll go with your choice, despite the hand (it kind of humanizes the whole thing, makes it look real and spontaneous, and will make for an interesting topic of conversation). #2 it is!. BTW, did you do any sharpening? Ferrylodge ( talk) 20:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC) reply

On second thought, I think the head's too tiny on #2, so I went with #1 (after a little bit of sharpening). Thanks. Ferrylodge ( talk) 21:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC) reply

No, I didn't do any sharpening as I didn't think it would be much of an improvement. Would you like any of the above versions kept or should I delete them? Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 22:01, 21 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Thanks for your help and suggestions. I did a crop that is sort of a compromise between #1 and #2, and uploaded it, so I think we're all set now. The extras can be deleted, I think, unless you think the image now at Sara Palin can be substantially improved. Cheers. Ferrylodge ( talk) 22:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC) reply

The new version is a good compromise. There are plenty of images of Palin on Commons, and I don't think these work-in-progress versions are necessary; that's why I uploaded them locally in the first place. Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 22:13, 21 September 2008 (UTC) reply

(undent)Fvasconcellos, an editor has created another image that he thinks is better, though I disagree. What do you think? I've inserted the two images side by side (the one on the right is the current image in the article, as I write this). Ferrylodge ( talk) 03:49, 23 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Yes, that was me. I sharpened and tweaked the levels and highlights so that it is not so washed out. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 04:36, 23 September 2008 (UTC) reply

• More accurate skin tone

More accurate hair color and detail

• Face features looks sharper
• Noise on blouse is less obvious
• Sharper overall, such as mics, glasses details, etc.

We could tweak it further by keeping the original background, but using the sharper foreground portion

≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 04:39, 23 September 2008 (UTC) reply

The subject's shirt is so black in Jossi's image that you can't see the folds and wrinkles. The colors in the background are so bright they look like neon. I'm not convinced that the image on the right can be improved, but surely a compromise would be better than the image on the left. Ferrylodge ( talk) 05:06, 23 September 2008 (UTC) reply

In all fairness, I do think it is a bit excessive, but the white balance has improved, and I can see still see the detail of her shirt just fine. Are you sure it's not your monitor?

I actually did do some color correction myself but decided against uploading the version because (as with the sharpening) I didn't think it was a real improvement. I said it above, and I'll say it again: this image is certainly not the best in terms of quality. Let's just try not to make this an issue, shall we? The article has seen more than enough of those as it is... Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 12:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC) reply

I agree that the color saturation is excessive. It is also dark and has lost detail. I have worked on this image in Photoshop and have other versions with more subtle corrections that look better. IP75 75.25.28.167 ( talk) 18:08, 23 September 2008 (UTC) reply

I'm just noting that I can see the folds fine, the blouse doesn't look that dark really. Make sure you have your monitor calibrated to this and this. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 23:03, 26 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Article(s): Electron configuration, Atomic orbital

Request: I think these all are of very low quality.. → Nitya Dharma / ? 13:19, 12 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Graphist opinion: I agree that they're low quality and perhaps these should be SVG-ified, but I'll just mention that the images were created using Orbital Viewer which outputs to "TIFF, PPM, BMP, AVI, and VRML files." Also, it's Windows-only. So you won't be able to use the same source to generate the images.— ʞɔıu 13:33, 12 September 2008 (UTC) reply

I did the series, but I don't have the time to scale & composite them, add text & make backgrounds transparent. Please will someone pick up from here. Note that the name format is [orbital][N]M[Mcode].png where orbital is S, P, D or F; N is 1 to 7 and M is 0, -1 to 1, -2 to 2 or -3 to 3, depending on orbital. A selection of renders are shown here but I didn't want to spam 44 images to the Lab so the full gallery can be found at User:Dhatfield/Sandbox2. Dhatfield ( talk) 03:11, 25 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Request: Our current logo is not an accurate representation of the official logo and I was told to "sofixit". I was wondering if one of the gurus here could help? Here's what we have now: Image:OSU.svg and it needs to be: http://afrotc.osu.edu/common/home_osu.gif

The background needs to be: PANTONE 200 or CMYK: four-color process formula: 0 cyan 100 magenta 65 yellow 15 black or Hexadecimal: #990000 or RGB values: 153, 0, 0 Thanks! §hep • ¡Talk to me! 21:22, 15 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Graphist opinion: Honestly? Use the logo provided by the university, under fair use if necessary. Whoever made the SVG version did a great job, but it's just not accurate enough; the visual integrity of a logo is sacred! Color is not the only issue: the O in OHIO, for instance, has much more severe oblique stress in the actual logo (that is, the "axis" of the O is tilted much farther to the left; the stroke of the letter is thickest at the bottom left and top right), and the SVG's T · H · E and UNIVERSITY don't match the original—they should be set in Palatino, not hand-drawn. See if you can spot the difference in the "R". Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 15:14, 19 September 2008 (UTC) reply

By the way, you can request a logo from the University in EPS format (easily converted to SVG without any modifications) here. Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 01:17, 20 September 2008 (UTC) reply

You can get a very high-quality version here at the same site, but I'm not sure if I may upload it to commons, because the webpage, where I find the current version at commons as thumbnail, determines as copyright:

Permission for educational use only granted

— Cartography Associates, The AMICA Library

At commons, the license is public domain because the copyright expired. However, the copyright of the image belongs to "Victoria and Albert Museum 2002". If you are sure, you could upload the bigger version, but if it's a copyright violation, the current version should also be replaced to a redrawing or a free picture available anywhere else.-- Demoeconomist ( talk) 15:06, 15 October 2008 (UTC) reply

License of a reproduction of two-dimensional public domain work is public domain. It is not important who took the photography. I am almost sure that the same policy applies the frame because a photography of a frame cannot be counted as a work with a lot of originality. I have uploaded the image in full resolution. -- pabouk ( talk) 11:22, 16 October 2008 (UTC) reply

The frame is 3D though, which makes it 3D (Note the Commons PD-Art tag has "2D" all over it and " Commons:When_to_use_the_PD-Art_tag#This_does_not_apply_to_photographs_of_3D_works_of_art". 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 14:53, 16 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Thank you. I was not able to find the description regarding the 3D frame. The correct link is commons:Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag#When should the PD-Art tag not be used? I did not believe that a photographer can use enough of creativity for such an image to be able to obtain new copyright.

Although he uploaded the image universaleditbutton:Image:UEBfullsize.png, which is definetely not a digital zoom of the standard logo universaleditbutton:Image:Wiki.png, he says at universaleditbutton:Questions that it is the highest resolution he "know[s] of". Accordingly, he doesn't seem to be able to render a bigger file using a scalable image. At that community page, they even don't know under which license the image has been created firstly.

Why images in other websites ( 1, 2, 3) are different by this one?   ■ MMXX ^talk  18:33, 21 October 2008 (UTC) reply

They are for different levels, and they change the color every so often. There is also a green one. Thank you for your hard work! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 00:10, 22 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Request: Could these be combined with HDR? Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 23:50, 16 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Graphist opinion: I just gave it a quick go and I am not really convinced the results will be worth it. The images are not well aligned and the +3ev (lighter) one has a color cast and washout from the blown sky which is running all into the bridge shadow area. I can post the best I can do if you want? Mfield ( talk) 07:11, 17 October 2008 (UTC) reply

If you do not think it would be an improvement, then please do not worry about it. Thanks anyway, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 12:12, 17 October 2008 (UTC) reply

I haven't seen this done before... I'd be interested in the results if it doesn't take too much time. --- J.S ( T/ C/ WRE) 16:59, 17 October 2008 (UTC) reply

I woudn't mind seeing it either. As well, a tutorial might be useful for the graphist community here. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 17:57, 17 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Since at least three people are interested in seeing this, would it be possible to please post the "quick go" version so we can all see what it looks like? Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 18:03, 18 October 2008 (UTC) reply

OK, I am not at the right computer at the moment but when I am I'll post it. Mfield ( talk) 18:25, 21 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Here are the two quick edits. (The framing on the files is slightly different to the originals as I used a stitcher to align the two files on top of each other and straighten them which then necessitated a crop). The first edit is a basic rescue of the 0ev original single file using the Photoshop shadow/highlight tool followed by some noise reduction and local contrast enhancement. The second is a PS HDR merge of both the original files (both having been aligned first by the stitching app and then I removed the blue cast from the +3 image with a color balance adjustment). They were merged to HDR with Photoshop's HDR automation rather than any more fancy third party method. The blue sky was then blended in. The images wouldn't align completely - probably due to low contrast and me not spending enough time on it - so there is some slight ghosting in the HDR version.

As I said before, these are both c. 5 minute edits, if there was more to work with, say a -2 frame with the sky and trees intact, and the +3 exposure wasn't so blown out then with 20 mins (of more careful work than my quick blast) the output would look a lot better. Mfield ( talk) 22:12, 22 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Thanks so much - I prefer Edit 1 and have put it in the article in place of the first version. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 02:23, 23 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Wow, thats amazing. Even with just 5 min of work it's much improved. --- J.S ( T/ C/ WRE) 04:36, 24 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Hi, I'm really sorry I didn't get back on you. After I made a request, I gave a shot, downloaded Inkscape, learned how to use it and edited the svg myself. But thank you anyway for the attention and reply. And thank you for indirectly presenting to Inkscape, such a nice software (I was this close to buying CorelDraw, but it's so expensive...).

Graphist opinion: Hey, I worked up an SVG image. What do you think? -- pbroks13 ^talk? 08:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC) reply

That is stunning work, truly. Some of the best work I have seen ever. Two quick things-can you remove the outside shading (from both the svg and the jpg), and can you make the horse and rider larger within the center, like the other two? Thank you so much! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 14:18, 24 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Okay, I removed the shadows for both. Also, I converted the first one to PNG so I could add a transparency. -- pbroks13 ^talk? 18:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC) reply

I'm no expert, but it looks to me that it would be more faithful to the original picture to take the "inside" of the middle picture, with the "outside" of the picture on the right. Headbomb { ταλκ – WP Physics: PotW} 18:05, 24 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Is that not what is represented? You cant simply "copy and paste" a raster image into an SVG file. Also, this is a Coat of arms, so there is some ambiguity allowed. -- pbroks13 ^talk? 18:11, 24 October 2008 (UTC) reply

  Here's the composite version

Article(s): Waldseemüller map, Americas, Cosmographiae Introductio, Early world maps, Continent

Request: Hopefully this will be really really easy! I could do it myself if I didn't keep getting error messages about insufficient memory. The LOC has two versions of this amazing historical map, one a composite version (a 25mb jp2 which I could open, convert and upload, see above), and one a non-composite version (which was a 75mb jp2 that my computer cannot open, sad). Can someone go to http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.gmd/g3200.ct000725C , download the map on the right, downsample/compress it so it's under the 20mb limit, and upload it to the commons? This is up at FPC but right now voters don't like the compositeness of it. Thanks!! Calliopejen1 ( talk) 13:02, 27 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Oh, and a bonus - could you also upload 20mb versions of each of the 12 sheets, so that if viewers want even more detail (this map is GINORMOUS) they can look at those? Thanks!! Calliopejen1 ( talk) 13:04, 27 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Graphist opinion: I'll have a go but it's a very big image, maybe I won't be able to open it either. Jackaranga ( talk) 14:44, 27 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Well I managed to open the file, and I made Image:Waldseemuller map 2.jpg, I hope this is what you meant. I also saved the whole file as jpeg with 100% quality, the filesize is 87MB though, so I can't do much with it using normal image manipulation software (uncompressed size is around 2GB).
