Ok, I've updated the SVG file with some more coasts and the xmlns tag. The file renders fine on Commons now and seem to work as a 250px thumb as well, so thanks for the tip. I'll be working with Scandinavia now. So if you don't hear from me during a few days, don't think I'm dead, I'm probably just having nightmares about Norway.

Transparent compass card

StaleMarmBot 20:41, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: I made Image:Compass Card.png transparent to use it as an overlay on maps, but doing it to the whole image kills readability depending on the background colour. Is there something that could be done to the image, maybe apply transparency to some areas only, or surround dark colours with white or something? Para 20:15, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

A good solution may be to use a white disk in background, and to merge your compass on this white background disk. Yug (talk) 23:36, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But if I put a white disk in the background, even a transparent one, then the it will be less transparent generally. Anyway, thanks for the idea! I did something else instead: I copied the whole image on another layer, deleted everything but the text and their backgrounds, and made them just a bit transparent. I think they're pretty readable now and can't think of any more that could be done to make it better. It actually looks horrible here on the wiki, but if you try it with Google Earth using the kml at Commons:Geocoding#Parameters, it's much better. Too bad I can't include a screenshot. --Para 16:46, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Music map of the United States

StaleMarmBot 20:41, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A long time ago, I created a map (see it at Image:USmusicmap.png), a rudimentary attempt at creating something greater, primarily for en:Music of the United States. I think someone who actually had some experience with image-manipulation, even if not map-making specifically, could make a great map. I could provide all the information necessary to make something very detailed (which I know would be less useful for a Wikipedia article, since you'd have to zoom in to see anything, but would still be interesting to look at, and could even make for a dorm room poster) with symbols showing everything from cities with notable blues scenes to the home of acclaimed symphony orchestras. If possible, maps showing a subset of this information could be used for articles like en:Latin music in the United States. Is anybody willing to do the image work if I do the research work?

Using white text in the new version, as stated by Javierme, would be better. Also, users have their monitors calibrated differently, and the dark green background, with the black text will make it especially difficult to see on some monitors, colour blind or not. :). In my opinion white text would be a big improvement. Even on the best calibrated monitor black text on dark background should be a big no-no. GeeAlice 00:00, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Wouldn't it be better to move the text (not including the lables) to the image description. That would make the file more usefull in different languages. Actually maybe even the lables should go unless we have text (in the image description) that explains what they are, and even then new lables would probably be clearer. /Lokal _Profil 19:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, thanks. Original drawing has to be entirely kept, no matter if labels are not really used.--B.navez 20:05, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've uploaded a clean (no lables) version for uses elsewhere. To keep any inscription would require a much more refined tool so I don't think I can do that. /Lokal _Profil 20:20, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, however it's better and useful. If someone is able to make a further version also with the labels, it could givee a good reproduction of the original figure. There is no urge.--B.navez 20:28, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I worked on this. The labels in my version are all eh, 'good enough' with the exception of the page number(?) in the upper right corner. I considered searching for a similar font right before I stopped working on it. Would a version without that one text chunk suffice? -- carol 15:30, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I took a stab and added the labels with the closest font I could find. The text is kinda crisp, but it's labeled. I also made a png version, that was much more clear, but the file was huge to keep the same ratio, so I reduced it by half, but the labels are more blurry than the JPG version when viewed at a smaller size. GeeAlice 02:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You might try indexing the image at the original size. I think it is safe to reduce these scans of paintings from millions of colors to 256 colors because of the simplicity of the coloring.

Well, If the solution is just to create a new file, well, let's do it in that way but I think this is not a real solution...this is not the only svg file I detected with this problem to show image "above" a undetermined number of px; it would be useful to detect what this things happens. Besides that, your version has some errors but no problem, I will amend it, thano you for your support,--SanchoPanzaXXI 09:24, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

one thing i noticed is that text on path can be problematic when the image is resized. i recommend converting the text to a path before uploading (but perhaps retaining a copy of the original text outside the viewbox for edits) /Marmelad 10:31, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: I'm trying to create and SVG file, but can't get it to render properly. The above image is a PNG of what it is supposed to look like. The SVG file is located at Image:North Dakota's Legislative District 30.svg. I created the SVG using Inkscape. I originally created the image from a shapefile using a GIS editor, exported to PNG, and did the editing and coloring in AdobePhotoshop Elements 4.0. I then imported the PNG into Inkscape and converted it to a plain svg file. Based on Help:SVG, I presume the problem has to do with link reference files within Inkscape, but I can't seem to figure out how to remove those from the file before saving it. The xml editor within Inkscape crashes on me when I try to launch it, and editing the file later in a text editor doesn't seem to work. I'm on OS X Leopard, and this is my first attempt at creating SVG files. Any help is greatly appreciated, otherwise I may have to resort to uploading these as PNG files and relying on others to do the conversions for me.Dcmacnut 04:13, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Raw scan of same, to show what I'm working from

Request:

This time I'm mostly looking for advice. I have some old (1860s) Harper's magazines. There are a lot of interesting illustrations. See A Peep at Washoe for some examples. I've been doing these as follows:

scan at 300 dpi
convert to grayscale
use GIMP to threshold it to straight B&W
use GIMP to clean up some stray pixels from imperfections in my copier or in the nearly 150-year-old paper

I assume that the third step is the most controversial; I need to do something, though, to deal with image bleed through the page.

Do people think I've come up with an acceptable approach? Does someone have a better idea? - Jmabel | talk 04:08, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, but that's the least of the problems: it's pretty easy to get rid of the bleed.

What I've tried doing since I last wrote (with a good bit of success) is to posterize with a few more levels, rather than go to pure B&W. I'm pretty happy with what I'm getting out of this now. - Jmabel | talk 23:30, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done Pattern in svg-file

I uploaded an svg-map which contains three patterned areas. However when rendered by wikipedia/wikimedia (as png?) those areas don't appear as pattern but uniform colour (mix of the two colours of the pattern I believe). Is there a way to display them correctly, i.e., as pattern? Bamse 05:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's been solved. When cloning rectangles to create a pattern in inkscape I specified an "initial color" which was different from the rectangle's color. That's what caused the trouble. Strangely enough it looked ok in inkscape. Bamse 07:04, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inkscape doesn't allow clones to have different colours from their parents. rsvg (and firefox) do however. /Lokal _Profil 10:27, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done Black blobs in SVG

Request: I'd appreciate if somebody could solve the bug in this image. There's a black blob instead of nicely distributed names, as in [2]. I have frequently this bug when editing svg in Inkscape :(. Thanks in advance. PatríciaR ^msg 13:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Save as 'simple SVG', not 'Inkscape SVG' and use http://validator.w3.org/. The principle code issues are at the end of the markup.

Here is an empty, valid template:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg 
	version="1.1" 
	xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" 
	xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
	<desc></desc>
</svg>

In general, you're going to want to clean up any SVG from Inkscape either manually/by hand (in a text editor), or at least using some 3rd party cleaning script.

Personally, however, I wouldn't bother to try and improve this image, since the paths seem to be generated from a poor trace (there aren't really any good traces). It would not be difficult to recreate this image with just circles and lines from the center, and of course the text, which is trivial.

¦ Reisio 04:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice! Yes it's really poor tracing, I've tried to figure out whether Inkscape can do it better or not, but I'll lose less time if I just do it from scratch. PatríciaR ^msg 10:24, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've also struggled black blob syndrome. Fortunately w:en:User:Kjoonlee taught me the way to solve this problem. I copy that way [3] here with little modification.

Download svg file & open it by Inkscape
Press "F1" key for Selection tool
Click on text object (select it)
Press "F8" key for text tool.
See blue box. The blue box is for flowed text. Inkscape's flowed text is not supported in SVG 1.1 viewers or at Wikipedia/Commons.
Press F1 key again.
Shift-click on other text-object to select both.
Go into ”テキスト"(text) menu. Click on "テキストに変換"(convert into text, or Change to text or so in English)
Save

DoneFlag of Ireland- Pantone colors to RGB, CMYK and Hex

Article(s):w:Flag of Ireland

Request: Trounce 15:39, 3 July 2007 (UTC) The precise colors of the Irish flag are defined as Pantone 347 and Pantone 151 (and white). Does any body have an objective, accurate and "standardized" way to extrapolate the RGB, Hex and CMYK values from the given Pantone colors?

Or embed the fonts directly in the SVG. All you have to do is in Inkscape, go to Edit > XML Editor and individually select the text objects in the left pane , then in the right pane go to each one's style attribute and add to it ;font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans (with the semiclon at the front, it is to separate arguments in an attribute) or exchange Bitstream Vera Sans for whichever font you want.

Done Help requested from someone good at stitching panoramas

Inside the Georgetown PowerPlant Museum, Seattle, Washington, USA, four panning top to bottom along one of the vertical boilers at the plant.

I assume that a pretty good panoramic image could be made from these, but I really don't have the techology to do it well in any reasonable amount of time. I'm guessing someone else would do a better job: help sought. - Jmabel | talk 05:37, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can give it a try. No guarantees, depends much upon if you have managed to keep the nodal point fixed...-- Slaunger 11:44, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, here is an example. The stitch itself is pretty good. If you have the possibility to retake the scenary some other time I suggest adding more overlap and having more spare space at the image borders. After stitching, the resulting panorama is not rectangular, and I had to crop of some of the subject to avoid blank space. I addition, I think a equirectangular projection would have been better (to make straight vertical and horizontal lines). I tried that but realized I'd have to crop even more. This panoramic projection seemed like a reasonable compromise.

I have not categorized the photo properly to relevant subjects (feeling lazy). I trust you will do that? -- Slaunger 12:21, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Nice job. I'm afraid there is really no way to get more space at the image borders, unless with a wide-angle lens: this is as far back from it as one can get, and this was with no zoom. -- Jmabel | talk 09:11, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You could have photos side-by-side. For instance a 4x2 matrix of photos. This can easily be stitched in Hugin as well. -- Slaunger 09:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can offer the right one --Marku1988 13:17, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Plz fix the flag so it will be more like the original: shade of colour, size of stripes, and size and quality of the Coat of Arms inside the flag. Oren neu dag 20:26, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Coat of Arms inside the flag doesn't come from the image you mentioned, but it is a vectorization of the flag from http://www.vector-images.com that i did using a software called VectorEye3 that i downloaded from http://www.siame.com/ so i don't think that it is in danger of problematic copyight/source status. Oren neu dag 10:06, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've Rebuilt the flag and it is fine now. Oren neu dag 15:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Could try to fix it but I'm suspecting that the Coat of arms in the flag comes from Image:Bandera de Andalucía.png which has a problematic copyight/source status. If that image is deleted then this one would have to go as well unless the Coat of Arms is redesigned from scratch... which is a bit to much work for me, right now at least. /Lokal _Profil 00:49, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done Image:Glyn Ceiriog.jpg

Article(s): English - Glyn Ceiriog, Welsh - Glyn Ceiriog

Request: This image was produced directly onto CD at the developing lab from a 35mm film camera, and the results could be improved. There is a horizontal line running across the photo about half-way up (possibly a scratch on the negative), and there is a small white blob in the top right part of the sky. Finally the generally quality is somewhat grainy. Is it possible that an expert with Photo-shop or similar could clean this up please? – Tivedshambo (talk) 15:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I've Gaussian blurred the image to get rid of some of the noise and painted out the white line and blobs. I hope that helps! Time3000 16:03, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great improvement! Many thanks. – Tivedshambo (talk) 19:29, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Removing it is no trouble. But was ther supposed to be some other text there? The code suggests that ther might have been a "θθ" there. I'll remove the box for now. /Lokal _Profil 23:43, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done SVG cleanup needed

Request: Could someone clean code of the picture?-- QWerk 19:02, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Size halfed by vacuuming unused definitions. More improvements could probably be done by cloning parts of the image (one of the eagle wings/legs, all the stars etc. but that (unlike the vacuuming) would require actuall work, 784kB isn't that bad. /Lokal _Profil 19:55, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I tried searching online to read about cloning, but I couldn't find. Can you please explain this to me, how it works? I don't know about svg that much, but would love to. Thanks. --Jak 00:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cloning basically means that you take an object (or a group of objects) and make a copy of it. This copy will not contain the actual code but will just point to the original (hence the smaller file size). Thus if you do any changes to the original these will happen with the clone as well. The downside is that you are limited in how you can manipulate the clone, i.e. you can resize it, rotate it and twist it but you can't change it's colour or redraw any of the objects. The best way to figure out how it works is probably by looking how a image such as Image:Flag of Europe.svg is done. However for this particular image I'm not sure it's really worth it. Found a tutorial on [5] on cloning in inkscape which might be usefull. /Lokal _Profil 01:01, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info... Out of curiosity, I started working on this image to see how much size reduction can be made. Still working on it, If I ever finish it, I will post it here... Thanks again. --Jak 13:28, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did a version, feel free to change around the colours. All of the objects with "other land" colours have been grouped together so that you only need to change colour in one place.

According to that license, a GIF version of the vector graphic from that website is allowed on Wikipedia. I think creating an SVG version violates the copyright. Maybe somebody else can look into this as well.↔NMajdan•talk 17:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can a Coat of Arms of a country be copyrighted? It can always be said that it was based off of any of these images, as it would be true. -Indolences 18:13, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes and no. The idea or blazon behind the image cannot be copyrighted but a particular artist's version of the insignia can be. Wikipedia practice seems to be that as long as it is not a direct duplicate of a copyrighted version, we'll be fine. Valentinian ^{T / C} 23:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay so I should make it look more like this? As it is on the government website I would think it would not be "copyrighted". -Indolences 05:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This looks like a good version to base a new image on. From a heraldic perspective, I'd say that the idea about claiming copyright for an official coat of arms image or flag is meaningless, since these images are owned and used by nations. The U.S. flag was designed by somebody, but nobody considers this image off-limits to Wikipedia, no matter that the first person to add the 50th star can't have been dead for 70 years. Unfortunately, U.S. laws weren't designed to take this situation into account. The legal situation behind such images is very tricky and I'd be surprised if traditional encyclopedias didn't simply use such images without consulting others first. But if you create your own image inspired by another image, there'll be no problems at all. If anybody is game for it, a new .svg version of the coat of arms of Denmark would also be very welcome. I'm not the biggest fan of the current .svg version and a better one would be much appreciated. Valentinian ^{T / C} 12:27, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the original version
my first attempt to remove the car

Article(s):

Request: I'd like to get rid of the Mercedes car but leave the London cab's in the background. I tried the "Stamp Tool" in PhotoFiltre already but I'm not happy with the results so far. As a source I copied the picture and flipped it along the vertical axis. Then I patched the tarmac from the flipped over copy back into the original picture. It turned out quite tricky to "replace" the missing parts of the last cab on the right hand side and to complete the lamp posts, which are covered by the Merc on the original picture. Ideally also the silver car parked in front the cabs would go. If someone knows how, I'd be grateful for any hints on basic techniques or especially for PhotoFiltre.

Graphist opinion: I don't know about PhotoFiltre, but you need to use some kind of smoothing to blur the obviously edited areas so there are no sharp edges. Also, I guess the pavement comes out as far as the lamp post, and is inset for the taxi rank. For a realistic shop though, you'd really need to know what's missing so you can draw it back in.

Request: Redo the first in the style of the second. That brain is not even the right shape o___O – Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 21:32, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Had a shot at it, it required a fair amount of artistic licence to translate the rough areas onto a more detailed image, if anyone knows of a better reference image, I'd be happy to make alterations. I'm new to the whole posting on wikimedia, so if anyone can get the image into its rightful place on the w:Primary auditory cortex page please do, hopefully I'll be able to get it to work with a few more attempts (time to do some reading!)

Graphist opinion:

I'm guessing you meant you wanted the image straightened horizontally. James.mcd.nz 17:25, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New version looks good. Unless the original uploader minds you should probably upload the new image over the old one. Also the licensing of the new one is wrong but I assume thats due to copy pasting =). /Lokal _Profil 02:00, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SVG will not display

Request: This image will not display in the medium view, though it will display inside article and full. Any help? -- Knulclunk 02:48, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: open your file with an editor like notepad++ (on windows) and look at his end: you will see a string like: <i:pgf id="adobe_illustrator_pgf"> <![CDATA[ eJzsvXuTHMeRJ/g/zfgd6v4YM2lv1chHZGak7mzNqh/Qco0SZSS1q72xNVoTaJLY6Qe3AYyW9+nP etc. this is an embeded raster file! You need to make a proper conversion without including it. Morgoth666 09:46, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: I scanned and uploaded this illustration from an old encyclopedia. It is almost 5MB; I also uploaded some less compressed versions previously (see page history). Please could you comment on it? What should I have done better, and what could still be done to improve it? Unfortunately it is blurred at the left edge as it is still bound in the book and would not lie flat on the scanner. Could anything be done about that? Strobilomyces 20:15, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: 9,604 × 13,600 pixels is a generous size for an image -- as this image contains so much information, I suggest that the best way to 'improve it' is to know that you have uploaded a very generous image (both in pixel size and the information it contains) to the commons so that others can have access to it -- or in other words, relax and don't worry about the warning. -- carol 23:40, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's especially true for a image like this where other users might want to extract parts and upload as separate images. Tagged the image wiht {{Extract image}}. /Lokal _Profil 00:25, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
