Allow overwriting of Mona Lisa, by Leonardo da Vinci, from C2RMF retouched
I have run a series of very delicate digital restoration techniques to remove the scan lighting reflections from the image above. The revision can be found at Mona Lisa, by Leonardo da Vinci, from C2RMF retouched+noise removal
The methodology for removing these can be found at https://dsp.stackexchange.com/questions/84727, along with some samples from Bruegel's works.
The results are particularly dramatic when looking at the full resolution image, especially the lower right side of the image.
(20040302 (talk) 12:49, 8 July 2024 (UTC))
Not done At full-resolution the retouched version is noticeably more blurry in the dark areas. It also introduces new artifacts in certain areas (black spotting in the lighter area in the bottom right) and it half-erased the cracks in the paint, which is especially noticeable on her face and hands. These aren't flaws to be retouched, they are part of the painting's texture. ReneeWrites (talk) 12:55, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Allow overwriting of File:PNG transparency demonstration 1.png
It's slightly silly, but I'd like to throw my hat in the ring of the last few contributions to this image. I wish Avayak and Rhapsody Scarlet had mentioned what optimization methods/tools/algorithms they used in the last two uploads, but they didn't. All I really know is I can actually beat their score. My usual optimization workflow is to take the image and run it through OxiPNG followed by ZopfliPNG. I went back to the last version by CyberShadow and ran it through my workflow today. It came out looking exactly the same (which is the point, all of my optimizations are supposed to be lossless, so they don't change how the image looks), and I managed to shrink it to 219 KB. I'd like to upload my new low score (it's like golf). Obscure2020 (talk) 22:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- I like your png optimization work but the difference of 3 KB is not a substantial improvement. Abzeronow (talk) 16:17, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- In the grand scheme of things, I agree with you. On this specific image, a reduction of 3 KB is more substantial than the previous contribution (a reduction of 1 KB by Rhapsody Scarlet). So I thought I might as well ask. But no biggie if you just want to leave this one alone. Obscure2020 (talk) 17:56, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
Done Abzeronow (talk) 17:59, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Allow overwriting of File:RTA_Afghanistan_Logo_(2021–).svg
The actual logo color is light-blue and not black. This was discussed and approved in User_talk:Xi_Knight/archives_1#RTA. (This user uploaded the current version of the logo but seems busy and hasn't done the change agreed upon - so I have managed to correct the color myself and am ready to upload it) Mobilustener (talk) 14:08, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
Done I'll split the file later so the black versions get their own files. Abzeronow (talk) 17:28, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks it's been uploaded. - Although the black is not official or used in any shape or form so maybe it's not even necessary to keep it as it effectively would be made-up. Mobilustener (talk) 14:34, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Could I overwrite the screenshot with a less noise and full BSOD display (without red area)? Thanks. XIC123 (talk) 06:42, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- There is already a PNG version without the red area. I don't see a reason to remove it when the red area was intentionally put there to highlight Inaccessible Boot Device, and there's nothing stopping you from uploading a new jpg with the changes you want. Abzeronow (talk) 17:27, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Hier trifft es allein https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andernach#Schiffsverkehr. Ersetzen macht auch weniger Arbeit, zumal man auf das Original verweisen muss.
