[edit] Wiki Photo Questions

Wiki is compressing thumbnails in a degrading way which I don't know how to accommodate. Alpha Ralpha Boulevard 05:09, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

You could try editing the photo in photoshop, for example, cutting it down the the size you want and then re-upload. That way, it won't be compressed. —— Ryan (t)(c)(review me!) 06:44, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
That idea was on my list, RyanLupin, and it's certainly workable, but also I have a feeling I'm missing something in the staging, since others manage to get their full resolution as artifact-free as their thumbnail. (I'm using a flat field 55mm Nikon lens, a Nikon D70, and Photoshop). Here's a page where some of the same type of French album covers have a similar problem, but others do not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirou_et_Fantasio Alpha Ralpha Boulevard 07:24, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
No, I don't think you're doing anyhing wrong - rather it is an artifact of the image subject and heavy jpeg compression in Wikipedia's rescaler. Jpeg is notoriously bad at line drawings, but it can vary alot between different images. I would give the same advice as RyanLupin above, upload a version of the right size manually. henriktalk 10:01, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Wow, thank you very much. This is exactly the sort of thing that I was hoping for. Hopefully with your helpful comments I can bring it up to par in quality. In any event, thanks a lot! --Liempt (talk) 00:21, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments! I was just looking for comments on my cleanup, but you showed me how I could really improve that article further. Thanks for going the extra mile! Lunar Jesters (talk) 10:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
