[edit] Zoomify image

Can it be possible to extract the larger version of File:William Ewart Lockhart, Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee Service, Westminster Abbey, 21 June 1887 (1887–1890).jpg from this site? One probelm is that when you zoom in to the highest there are gray patches that don't show up. KAVEBEAR (talk) 06:25, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Done. You were right, the gray patches were indeed corrupt. I managed to fix them somewhat with a bit less detailed version of the image. —Quibik (talk) 01:43, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for your help!--KAVEBEAR (talk) 12:33, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Can you upload this image [1]? Thank you.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 06:09, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

✓ Done: File:Samoan family c 1909.jpg. –Quibik (talk) 23:00, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Do you understand why I can't change the image size on this article but when you put them in an infobox, you can change the size.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 17:11, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Infoboxes don't use the "thumb" keyword, which does not allow images to be enlarged from their native size. I guess uploading enlarged images justified in this case (use something like GIMP or Paint.NET to do the scaling, if you do). —Quibik (talk) 17:43, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Or, actually, you could use this as a workaround:
{{multiple image
| image1    = Prince Punuarii Teriitapunui.jpg
| width1    = 150
| footer    = Prince Teriʻitapunui
}}
Quibik (talk) 17:43, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. I will do that in the future.
Do you know how to best version of this image or should I just copy my computer screen?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:29, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
Here's what you can get by viewing a single tile in that zoom and fiddling with its parameters: [2]. There is a plan to add this specific type of zooming software (and others) to Dezoomify, too, whenever that might happen. —Quibik (talk) 04:48, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
Then again... if you use the "download" function at the top of that image and choose "PDF", the PDF will contain the image at the maximum resolution, which you can extract if you have the right tool(s). Either method will work well enough. —Quibik (talk) 05:00, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
Could you do anything about this--KAVEBEAR (talk) 16:44, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Could you help me clean File:William Pitt Kinau (PP-98-5-004).jpg?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 08:21, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Digital watermark in JohnKeats1819 hires.jpg

I'm not sure why you removed the digital watermark notice from File:JohnKeats1819 hires.jpg.[3] The file definitely contains a Digimarc digital watermark. Kaldari (talk) 00:50, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. I removed it because I could not find any watermarks upon visual examination, which is the kind of watermark I have come to be expect when {{watermark}} is used. It is indeed, strictly speaking, a watermark but I still would not use the tag in this case as I consider {{watermark}} to be an indication of an image needing cleanup. I don't find Digimarc any more distracting or inappropriate than EXIF metadata, which is accepted on Commons. Do you disagree with my point of view? –Quibik (talk) 02:53, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
I think you have a reasonable point, but my opinion is different. Digital watermarks can be even more problematic than visual watermarks. Sometimes galleries will use them to search for copies of "their" images and demand licensing fees from reusers. I believe the {{watermark}} template is appropriate for both types of watermarks.

[edit] watermark removal

Hi Quibik. As someone with an interest (more or less) in images with watermarks, I thought I'd point you to this discussion in case you wanted to weigh in. Jbarta (talk) 19:14, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Watermark removal with an external editor

Hi, can you elaborate on how to remove watermarks from the images using external editor. Vensatry (Ping me) 12:06, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi! Are you more interested in the watermark removing process or setting up external editing capabilities? For watermark removal I use GIMP with a couple of very useful plugins ( which are listed on user page). As for external editing, the key information for setting it up can be found here: mw:Manual:External editors. I'll gladly elaborate on either of them, just ask. It would be great if you could tell me which operating system you are using, too. —Quibik (talk) 12:15, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
I thought I would learn both from you. I work on windows. Vensatry (Ping me) 15:02, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Waiting for your response :) Vensatry (Ping me) 22:52, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you! I will get around to it but probably tomorrow or a day after that, when I have a bit more time to spare. Meanwhile, you can help me focus by answering some questions. Have you used GIMP or Adobe Photoshop (or something similar)? If so, what kind of things have you used them for? What web browser do you use? Do you have any specific images in mind that you would like to clean up perhaps? (You seem to have worked with pictures of Indian people, so maybe Category:Images from FilmiTadka and Category:Files from Bollywood Hungama?) —Quibik (talk) 23:13, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
I haven't used GIMP so far. I only have a little knowledge about Photoshop and Photofiltre. I use Google chrome. Yes, I'd like to work on images from "Bollywood Hungama" and "Filmitadka". Vensatry (Ping me) 11:10, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the answers! So, as I promised, some instructions for watermark removal and external editing.

Watermark removal

First, about the software: I would advise using either GIMP or Adobe Photoshop. Each can handle the task well while having their pros and cons. Photoshop comes with some more powerful and easier to use tools out-of-the-box. However, I personally use GIMP (with some important plugins that I have listed on my user page) and find Photoshops capabilities lacking for some specific things I like to do (missing grain extract & grain merge layer modes is a huge issue for me, for example).

The most common and basic tool for watermark removal is "clone" (in GIMP, in Photoshop): mark an area on the image that you want to take content from and then clone the content elswhere using a brush. Other, similar but more powerful (depending on the occasion, though) tools exist too. For example, Heal in GIMP, Spot Healing Brush, Healing Brush and Patch Tool in Photoshop (see this for more details). A new and very powerful tool in Photoshop is the Content Aware Fill. Video examples: using the clone tool, using Content Aware Fill.

I suggest you give any of these tools a try and practice on some image with a simpler watermark from User:Quibik/Files by viewcounts/Images with watermarks, like this.

As I mentioned, "clone" is the most common but is also rather basic. I thought I might as well give you the process I usually use for most watermarks (quite possibly too complicated for you right now, feel free to disregard it):

  1. (I am using GIMP here. Most of this does not have exact Photoshop equivalents, unfortunately.) Using the Select by Colour tool I select the watermarked area in the image. Then Selection→Sharpen and Selection→Grow 1 or 2 px to fully select the watermark. Create a new transparent layer with Layer→New Layer. Fill the selection with white color, Selection→Grow 1px. Now, in the external plugin G'MIC, choose Enhancement→Region inpainting, set the "Input layers..." (on the left side of the window) to "Active & below" and then press "OK" to run it. Deselect all. As a result of all this, the watermark region should now be replaced with content roughly similar to the surrounding areas. Sometimes this (with a little bit of blurring) is all that is needed.
  2. Next, I use the Wavelet decompose plugin and split the image to different scales of wavelets. This has the huge benefit of being able to edit only the high-frequency "grain" of the image without affecting the brightness or color of the area, for example. So, after splitting the image to wavelets I merge any amount of them together that seems appropriate to get the desired range of wavelet scales (frequencies) I want to work with. Then I use the clone tool on that layer just as I usually would. When satisfied, merge the layers back together with either Image→Merge Visible Layers or Image→Flatten image. This can be repeated as many times as seems necessary.
  3. If I want to modify only the color of the watermark area, I do the following. Duplicate the image layer. Desaturate the duplicate layer with "luminosity" mode. Set the duplicate layer's color mode to "grain extract", right click on that layer and choos New From Visible and set the layer mode back to "Normal". Then set the created "Visible" layer's mode to "grain merge". As a result of all this you have split the image to "luminosity" – the lightness-darkness of things – and "chroma" – color. You can now use clone, for example, on the "chroma" layer to fix the colors in the watermark area.

That's it. As I said, this is probably a too much for you to take on at once but with these three steps/techniques and determination you can remove most watermarks quite efficiently and easily!

Now, you said that you would like to do watermark removal on "Bollywood Hungama" and "Filmitadka" images. There was a reason I asked about them specifically since you can use a small "trick" to fix them relatively easily. The main idea is to find an alternative version of the same image that might be watermarked too, but has the watermark in a different part of the image, or a version that is simply smaller and totally watermarkless and then use it to fix the watermarked area. To find these alternative images use Google Image Search, press the camera icon and paste the image's URL there. For example, this is the result for File:Raageshwari Ghagra Choli.jpg. From that page I would use this image. Then (in GIMP) open the (main) watermarked image and copy-paste the smaller version from Google on top of it (use Layers→New Layer to convert it to a normal layer afer pasting). Use Layer→Scale Layer to scale the smaller image to the larger one's size. Now comes the most annoying part: set the top layer's mode to "Difference", open Colors→Levels and play around with the sliders (usually must be done for each color channel separately) until the image looks as black as possible, which means that these two layers match in brightness and color. After that use Eraser or "select" of some sort & delete button to erase everything that does not cover the main image's watermark (make sure the top layer has an alpha channel using Layers→Transparency→Add Alpha Channel. Then Image→Flatten Image and you are done! :)

External editing

I already mentioned where you can find the general instructions for external editing. I'll now give you some more spcific ones.

  1. Download and install XExternalEditor.
  2. Unfortunately Chrome does not have a way to associate specific file types with external programs, so you will have to instead associate .php file extension with the XExternalEditor's executable ("C:\Program Files\XExternalEditor\xexternaleditor.exe" probably) system-wide. If you don't know how to do this, just ask.
  3. After this you should be able to use the "Edit this file using an external application" on the bottom of image description pages to open the image in the default program for that file type on your system.
  4. Edit the image however you like and save it. After that press the "Save" button in the XEE window to upload the image. That's it.

Having said all that, external editing is probably not that important for you right now, though. It is most useful when you are doing a large amount of image editing on wiki. Nevertheless, I suggest you give it a try.

If you have any questions about this (which I have no doubt you have, since I probably could have been clearer in quite a few places), just ask! Cheers, —Quibik (talk) 23:13, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks very much for you detailed explanations :) Vensatry (Ping me) 10:13, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Files by viewcounts

How do you generate this list? – JBarta (talk) 17:09, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

These statistics are derived from July & August 2011 monthly view counts for all pages (that had at least 5 views in a month) on all Wikimedia projects, taken from here. These are the same stats that you see on http://stats.grok.se. July & August is not recent at all, I know, but it's the most recent data available (and compiling this from scratch would mean downloading and processing tens of GB of data for each month...). The "views in articles" value in that list is the sum of view counts of all pages (on all projects) a specific image is being used on at the moment of update; "views on file page" should be obvious; "number of articles" is the total number of articles this file is being used on, across all projects. I use GLAMorous to get a list of articles where the files are being used. The updating itself is done automatically, using a program, of course, which I run about once a week.
I don't think that my method of doing all this is quite optimal, though, which is why I have not advertised these lists on the GL too much. I would very much prefer to see something like this as a toolserver tool instead. I have considered (for quite a while by now) contacting and asking Magnus Manske to perhaps code something like that. His GLAMorous and BaGLAMa are already pretty close to what I am doing. —Quibik (talk) 18:51, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanation. I had a general notion of where they might have come from, but wasn't sure. I just wanted to rule out something simple that even I might be able to update easily. The list certainly is a useful way to sift through tons of images and try to get the most bang for the editing buck. Thanks again for the explanation and thanks for the list Smile. – JBarta (talk) 20:13, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] FFT

I have just a short question: Do you remove patterns only with the gimp plug-in? It's very interesting, because i try to keep as much details with the FFT Plug-Ins for Photoshop, without much handwork on it (but photoshop fails me often). So the results as long weren't very satisfying for me, but alsways better than the version before.

Thanks for you answer and and tme :-) --Grunpfnul (talk) 16:02, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I always use GIMP for my image editing. You can probably get quite a bit done in Photoshop too, but I find 2 significant things to be missing in Photoshop that I simply can't do FFT cleaning (or watermark removal, etc) without. The first ones are grain extract/merge layer blending mode, which is essentially addition/subtraction operation that preserves negative values. The second one, wavelet decompose plugin, is a huge help in doing FFT (and many other editing tasks as well). With it you can basically split the image to different frequency components and work on any desired range of frequencies. This has two significant benefits: you get rid of the horizontal and vertical line in the center of your image in the frequency domain (these lines are caused by the image being non-periodic because the left-right & top-bottom edges usually have differing intensities) and you can mask any unwanted components (steep gradients, that is, edges) in the image that would otherwise show up in and muddle the transformed image. Also, to remove anything but the highest-frequency noise and get a satisfactory result usually requires either masking areas (as I already mentioned) and/or doing FFT on smaller, selected areas of the image. You can see an example of this in the File:Hladisch.jpg image that you worked on: the high-frequency halftone pattern can be removed pretty easily by doing FFT on the whole image, but the low-frequency patterns in the background require masking all other areas to get rid of them without distorting the overall image. I'm sorry that I can't really give you any Photoshop-specific tips, though.
Anyway, I am very glad to see that you are interested in cleaning up images with FFT! There is always a need for people like you on Commons. I guess you have probably already seen the category Images containing regular noise? If you would like to further help with images like these, then User:Quibik/Files by viewcounts/Images containing regular noise is a list of the most viewed & visible images in that category. As you seem to have done watermark removal too, I might as well add an analogous list for watermarked images. Oh, and you should definitely consider joining the Graphic Labs on Commons and/or on English Wikipedia! :)
If you have any other questions, just let me know. —Quibik (talk) 17:13, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
That was very helpfull - i'll try gimp today. Those functions sound very usefull and handy (it's a shame that photoshop dosn't offer something like that). I've seen the category and found you too over it, so it would be very nice if you could make that page with the most viewed watermarked pictures too :-) At the moment, i just take random pictures out of the categories and edit them. I'll will try to join the graphics lab, but i'm not sure if my english skills are "high enough" for this. It's not very fluid and mostly i can better read than write it ;-) --Grunpfnul (talk) 07:59, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

They sent me a message a few days later saying they want it back as they are selling the photo to something for "exclusive rights" in response they deleted the photo from the flickr account and i removed the image from english wikipedia its global usage is massive though but i do not know what to do now is Wikipedia allowed to keep it anyway as they gave permission first or not??

Licenses like Creative Commons are irrevocable, so Wikimedia Commons is legally not required to remove a photo if the photographer changes his/her mind along with the license on Flickr. The reviewing process exist exactly for this reason – to prove that the license on an image's description page was indeed correct at one point in time; what it is now does not matter. Still, you can consider opening a deletion request for these images as a courtesy to the photographer but the chances of that succeeding are not very high. Keep in mind though that you might get better advice at Commons:Village pump/Copyright. I am helping you to the best of my knowledge but I am really not an expert in these questions. —Quibik (talk) 08:16, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
