@PawełMM: To be honest they don't look as good as in the video shown above. Do you know how is this technique called and which program I try to make it myself? Eurohunter (talk) 20:37, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

@Eurohunter: I made as much as I could of the available source file. You cannot add something that is not in the source. The quality of the original image was not altered. PawełMM (talk) 05:46, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

@PawełMM: Do you know why there is difference between your work and one from YouTube video preview? Also do you know how it was done in case of Stromae image? File:Stromae 2011.jpg (original), File:Stromae 2011 retouched.jpg and File:Stromae 2011 cropped.jpg? Eurohunter (talk) 17:38, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

@Eurohunter: I loaded new versions. I think it's good now. PawełMM (talk) 19:10, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

@PawełMM: It looks great now. I would only edit shape on the left around hair and top a little in transparent version also little fix for hand on left side at black bacground. I would also pick colour code from the original image and use it in the blue version if you know what I mean. Eurohunter (talk) 20:35, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

@Eurohunter: Dark blue changed. I don't want to touch the rest. The possible future effect is not worth the effort. The head at the top in the original blends with the background and each crop is some kind of approximation. PawełMM (talk) 22:23, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

@PawełMM: Would it be possible to do the transparent and black variant also for this image? Eurohunter (talk) 19:49, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Article(s): This image in reachable via Ref. 172 at "Paul Martin (illustrator)"

Request

Hello. I am the original uploader of this illustration. But this was years ago (unable to redo). It's a rare image of a billboard dating to 1930. It's signed by the artist on the bed's mattress. Notice the glare in the upper wording, caused by the camera's glare. I don't want major alterations to be made, which would necessitate the creation of a new file name. I was just hoping this one could look more presentable. (I only have basic GIMP knowledge.) The problem is in the captioned word "hungry", especially in the "ngr." Perhaps the white part could be lightened and the background part darkened, in order to mesh better with the rest of the wording. In closing, I'd appreciate just some touch-ups to improve the overall quality, without having to create a new file name. That mostly means just lightening areas around the "ngr" so that everything blends in better. Thanks JimPercy (talk) 15:03, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
