Long shot. Very long shot

This is a long shot. You are permitted to say "no". However, the only certainty is that if I do not share my problem with you, you won't even get the opportunity to think about it.

I attach a picture of what we in England think of as a Mazda 929. Although the license plate is Dutch the photograph was taken by me in Cambridge, England (I think in Brookside, a little street between the Botanic Gardens and Lensfield Road, in case you know the city). It was taken using an Olympus OM2 35 mm camera which was quite a good camera in its day, but I think I may have been short of funds and it was probably taken using low quality colour slide film (probable Boots or Photo-Porst own-brand). In any case by the time I scanned it and uploaded it to wikipedia it was pretty dire. Various well intentioned wiki-comrades have improved it over the years. I don't think they ever sold a lot of these cars, and although there are other photos of these cars on wiki-commons, none of them should ever be mistaken for a wiki-show-stopper. "My" moderately dire wiki picture has been used for wiki entries on the car in various languages (not, I am pretty sure, linked by me).

Why should you care? Indeed. But then again, maybe you're ahead of me.

I recently spotted that you had done a brilliant job of improving an only slightly less dire picture I uploaded some years ago of an Austin Montego. Also, as it happens, in Cambridge. Is there any chance that you might be tempted to work the same magic on this one? For information, I am pretty sure that the last time I saw the car it really was a sort of woodbine shade of metallic green. It's a colour with which some software programmes seem to have difficulty. The houses in the background are a sort of dirty greyish brown (most of them are still there). I agree that the "vaguely golden" coloured version of the car looks better, but I just thought I'd mention it. I have no particular "pride of authorship" preference between green and gold. Just thought I'd mention it.

To repeat, you are more than welcome to think and say "hell - no". (Though you could leave out the hell bit if you wished.) But you will appreciate that there is - according to me - nothing to be lost by asking the question. And thank you, since you did, for reading it.

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Photo Retains

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Bull-Doser

See the latest deletion entries last week Myloufa made? Wanna inspect if they could be retained or not? -- Bull-Doser (talk) 01:19, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Bull-Doser: Please see my comments here, here, here and here.

Please note that there are still quality problems with many of your images. I argued to have these ones retained because there aren't any better examples, and they are of usable quality, but I would still argue in favour of deletion if the quality was so bad that an image was not really usable.

cropping

Please upload a NEW file if you are cropping, instead of overwriting the existing file. Thanks Famartin (talk) 00:25, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Famartin: I assume you're talking about your image File:2019-11-08 14 17 20 An unopened roll of Smarties in the Dulles section of Sterling, Virginia.jpg, which I uploaded a cropped version of yesterday?

The guidelines on overwriting do- by default- permit overwriting images with minor changes, including minor cropping that is ultimately inconsequential. The example given here- where dead space is removed- is arguably similar to the crop I carried out on your image.

However, I also respect people's wish (and right) not to have alternate versions of their files- however minor the changes- replace the originals, and in this case I'll keep an eye out and avoid doing this with your files in future.

Thank you for taking the time to upload the modified version elsewhere as well, instead of simply reverting it (and losing the edit).

FWIW, if you prefer to explicitly indicate that you don't want some (or all) of your files overwritten, this should be possible. Although there are some "do not overwrite" templates it's not clear whether one exists for the original uploader to request their file not be overwritten (without any further reason). If there isn't one, I'm sure it would still be okay for you to indicate in your own words that you didn't want a particular image overwritten.

Hope this helps,

Help Adjusting/Cropping Images

Would you be able too help adjust - crop some of these?

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EHeckhart.jpg (More centered, more brighter, maybe trim the above the head and sides, getting rid of some extra space?)
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PaulStewart55.jpg (Maybe trim above the head a bit?)

Hope you maybe able too help a bit. Thanks in advance.--Black BIC Ballpoint (talk) 15:38, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Black BIC Ballpoint: ; Modified versions at File:EHeckhart (crop and brighter).jpg and File:PaulStewart55 (crop and levels).jpg. There are various different versions in the histories, you're free to be able to choose which one you prefer and revert to that version.

I reduced the contrast of the Paul Stewart image in some versions as (IMHO) the original scan was too contrasty.

Also, if you go to Preferences->Gadgets, you can enable something called "CropTool" which lets you perform crops of images and might be useful for you. (Depending upon the image, rather than cropping the original version, you might want to upload a copy under a different filename (e.g. "OriginalImage (crop version).jpg"), ignoring the warning, and then crop the new upload using CropTool.)

@Black BIC Ballpoint: ; Hi. I've uploaded the brightened and cropped version to File:RutaLeeDec09 (lighter crop).jpg.

I've reverted the changes you made to the original upload at File:RutaLeeDec09.jpg as I feel that this is not a change everyone would agree with unreservedly- some people may think that the original is preferable for some uses.

Please see Commons:Overwriting_existing_files#Minor_improvements for the guidelines on overwriting existing versions of images.

Generally, if I am in doubt, I will upload a modified version of an image under a new filename.

Hope this helps,

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ELSA-L.jpg

@Black BIC Ballpoint: Can't do anything about that one; it's low quality because it's obviously been upscaled from a lower resolution version, and the black areas are "crushed" (i.e. completely lacking in detail), so brightening it up won't fix it. (See image history to see why this is). Ubcule (talk) 17:28, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Adding derivative copies questions

For the first time I tried to use the derivativeFX tool to add an edited version of an existing file. I was trying to use one of your derivative uploads as a model. Everything seemed to work except it did not put a thumbnail on the original image page like yours did. Why? Once I understand this I will probably have another question. Thanks. Jim Evans (talk) 00:29, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jim Evans: ; I used to use Derivative FX, but haven't done so for years now, so I can't really comment on it. (Can't remember why I stopped using it).

I tend to do things semi-manually now. If you're using the {{Derivedfrom}} template, it has an option parameter "display=150" that shows a thumbnail of the specified size. So do many others IIRC.

BTW, if you're going to make more than basic modifications (crop, colour balance, sharp, brightness etc.) to an existing upload (as you did to File:Fargo_Theatre_-_Fargo.jpg) *or* even if you upload the modified copy under a separate filename, it's a good idea to add the {{Modified}} template.

(Actually, I'd say that if you're modifying an existing upload enough to warrant "modified", it's likely that it might be a good idea to consider uploading the new version under a modified filename. (See Commons:Overwriting_existing_files).) That's a common-sense issue depending upon the original image though, so I wouldn't say it was a blanket rule.

All the best,

TDK MiniDisc and AA-battery 200703.jpg

Hello Ubcule,

saw your development of the MiniDisc with AA-cell. To be honest, I had the same idea, but didn't realized it. Which software did you use? Please let me know, thank you in advance. Regards, --Wikisympathisant (talk) 18:20, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikisympathisant: It's just a few minor changes with Photoshop CS5 (which is pretty old nowadays anyway). All the best, Ubcule (talk) 18:25, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ubcule: Thank you for your fast answer :-) that's the way technics and internet should go everytime ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikisympathisant (talk • contribs)

@Wikisympathisant: No problem! BTW, I use Photoshop because I've had it for years and am used to it. But I'm guessing you could probably do much the same thing with GIMP which is free anyway. Ubcule (talk) 19:09, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ubcule: yes, I heard of GIMP, and it's fine, but the handling should be something like an own science. From your words I got the idea, to look for an older (non-expensive) photoshop ... :-) --Wikisympathisant (talk) 19:39, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikisympathisant: I'd say it's more important to know what tools you have and how to use them; PS doesn't have a magic wand to do all that easily.

I'm not a PS expert, but (for that image) I knew how to use layers, layer (blending) modes and so on, how to cut and extend the reflection on the dark part, then skew it so it lined up at the other end. But GIMP supports all that too.

For other images, things like LAB mode and wide-radius unsharp mask (to improve local contrast on "flat" looking pictures) are useful. But these are all techniques, and- again- GIMP supports all that as far as I know.

The only thing that PS *might* be better with for this sort of thing is the auto-repair tool for spots and other things.

People complain about the GIMP interface, but PS isn't always that intuitive either. I think a lot of people are just used to PS.

I think the new versions of PS are subscription only, so even if you learn the older versions, you risk getting stuck with that ageing software and/or "locked in" to Photoshop in general. Although I do use it (for the reasons I already gave), that shouldn't be taken as a recommendation- but the choice is yours!

All the best, Ubcule (talk) 20:10, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
