Re: A cup of coffee for you!

Добрый вечер. Спасибо. Aleks G (talk) 20:34, 27 September 2011 (UTC) }} Tip: Categorizing images Hello, Aleks G! Tip: Add categories to your files Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them. Here's how: 1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense: 2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page. [[Category:Category name]] For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code: [[Category:Astronomical diagrams]] [[Category:Comets]] This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets". When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations"). Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk. CategorizationBot (talk) 14:39, 2 October 2011 (UTC) Image:Петергоф.

You are very welcome to keep uploading images, even though you can't win prizes any longer. To get started on editing relevant Wikipedia articles, click here for more information and help. You can find all uploaded pictures in our central media collection Wikimedia Commons. Many photos are already used in Wikipedia. The contest was very successful with more than 165,000 images submitted throughout Europe. To make future contests even more successful, we would like to invite you to share your experiences with us in this survey. Kind regards, the Wiki Loves Monuments team Message delivered by Lucia Bot in 20:13, 17 October 2011 (UTC) Though the collection of images for the contest has been completed (as we informed you previously), the organizers of the contest "Wikipedia loves Petersburg" are glad to update you on the current course of events. Our jury is working hard; on November, 1 it will declare the winners and the recipients of special prizes. We ask those of you who have not yet set up an e-mail address to do it at user preferences page so that the jury could contact the participants of the contest and to hand out the awards. The winners of the European-wide Wiki Loves Monuments competition will be announced later, in mid-November. Already on November 2 in St. Petersburg, the Art-hotel "Rachmaninov", located on 5, Kazanskaya St., will open an exhibition of works by the participants of the contest. We inform you about the opening time via the website http://wikilovesmonuments.ru/ If you have any questions or need help with Wikimedia Commons, you can contact user kaganer. You can ask any questions about the contest by sending an e-mail to infowikimedia.ru Thank you again for your participation!.

Comments красивы --Hagman 18:17, 26 October 2011 (UTC) "Wikipedia loves Petersburg" contest results are summed up On November, 1 the winners of the contest "Wiki Loves Monuments" were announced. It was difficult to select the winners. More than 450 users participated in the contest, having uploaded more than 4400 photographs. The Organizing Committee thanks everybody who took part, tried their hands, and agreed to make their work available to the whole world. There is fascinating work ahead of Wikipedia users: To employ the images to illustrate the articles in Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia which is available in 270 languages. Do not get upset if you have not won. Look into Wikipedia articles - you may soon find your work there, to help people to visualise the buildings you have taken photographs of. Besides, we will contact you to hand you in a souvenir to recognize your particiation. We hope you will accept this sign of our gratitude. If you have a chance, you can visit the exhibition of photographs, which has been organized in Saint Petersburg and shows some of the photographs submitted to the contest. We hope you will participate in the future competitions planned by Wikimedia RU and thank you for your contribution. You can ask any questions about the contest by sending an e-mail to infowikimedia.ru. Sincerely, In the name of the Organizing Committee, Lvova Anastasia.

I know this marvellous city a little bit (a travel...20 years ago...), and I' m very interested by all about Russia in general, a very fascinating country. thanks for good pictures, cheers from Paris, --Jebulon (talk) 13:09, 2 February 2012 (UTC) FP Promotion ★ This image has been promoted to Featured picture! ★ The image File:Палач,-Петропавловская-крепость.jpg, that you nominated on Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Палач,-Петропавловская-крепость.jpg has been promoted.

Concerning the colour profile, I think everything is all right: I use <AdobeRGB (1998)> for all my newer photos and this information is correctly stored within the images, which can be checked for example with Adobe Bridge, by not by looking at the EXIF information. The EXIF data just says color space not defined, because per present EXIF convention colour space can only be 1:sRGB or 0:other/not defined. -- Norbert Nagel (talk) 20:05, 22 February 2012 (UTC) File:^Portal Annakirsche St. Ulrich Gröden.jpg Sorry Aleks, I don't understand what you want me to correct in this picture, but thank you anyhow for your revision and appreciation --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 09:47, 24 February 2012 (UTC) Perfect!--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 11:45, 24 February 2012 (UTC) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edinburgh_Castle_Overview.jpg I usually get annoyed when someone "corrects" one of my photos but your result with respect to the sharpness and clarity of the image was impressive. What was your work flow to achieve that result? Saffron Blaze (talk) 18:47, 8 March 2012 (UTC) Thanks for the explanation. Please be assured. I was not offended by your edit as it actually improved the final image. I was suprised by the amount of unsharp mask you applied but cannot argue with the result. Well done! Saffron Blaze (talk) 14:13, 9 March 2012 (UTC) My attempt Original My attempt Hi Aleks, what is the possibilities on this? Is this oval crop is good or something better you suggest? I saw a lot of beautiful updates of you in QIC. Thanks, Jkadavoor (talk) 06:57, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Thanks, Aleks; your update is great. Jkadavoor (talk) 01:58, 31 March 2012 (UTC) There is a discussion about this work at: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Quality_images_candidates/candidate_list#File:Jamides_bochus_by_kadavoor.jpg Could you please take care of it, if possible. I doubt whether it is about sharpening. Regards, Jee Jkadavoor (talk) 15:52, 3 April 2012 (UTC) Thanks, Aleks; it is enough. I just inform you the comments of the reviewers. It was a funny shot with subject on one hand and camera in another :) Thanks, Jee Jkadavoor (talk) 05:28, 9 April 2012 (UTC) Another request Hi Aleks: I have a few more images with series vignetting. Is it possible to edit them. Mycalesis mineus, I guess Mycalesis perseus, WSF; I guess Mycalesis perseus, DSF; I guess Mycalesis mineus, I guess I afraid, whether requesting too much.

Jkadavoor (talk) 09:10, 23 April 2012 (UTC) Perspective distortion, perspective correction, update of files ??? Hi Aleks, Thanks for correcting and updating many of (my) files. You do a great job. I cannot say that I agree every time (this one, for instance, is now a bit to "warm" for my taste), but anyway, your contributions and help are very useful. I would like to ask your new opinion about this file, because you supported a perspective-corrected (by you) version, and now, after a revert, we have again the not corrected previous version, but still with your support vote. I think the situation is not very clear. Could you please have a look ? Thanks.--Jebulon (talk) 16:41, 8 May 2012 (UTC) Castelbouc Hello Aleks G, Thank you a lot for your kind attention to my image File:Castelbouc gorges du Tarn.jpg. Inspired by your amendments, I reworked that image from the RAW file. Your version had a kind of yellow tone - at least on my computer, maybe because of its color space (AdobeRGB)? Another thing, the image was sligthly tilted, considering the houses and the reflections in water. Anyway thank you again, and have a nice day! Kind regards, --Myrabella (talk) 00:26, 16 May 2012 (UTC) File:BMW Welt, Múnich, Alemania 2012-04-28, DD 03.JPG Hello Aleks, thanks a lot for your help. Nevertheless I have the impression that something went wrong since the file size got much bigger, regards, Poco a poco (talk) 19:08, 20 May 2012 (UTC) File:Gm-air-2461.jpg There is no use in changing the final result after sharpening and jpeg-compression. Could you please tell me the numbers and values for correction, so I could change the original tiff file? Thanks. (Also, 12 MB is twice larger that this file really is.)--PereslavlFoto (talk) 08:58, 25 August 2012 (UTC) Этот фотоснимок сделан в рав, а потом обработан в течение примерно пяти часов, так что лучше его сделать уже нельзя. Яркие участки были погашены при помощи HDR техники. Контраст был поднят через кривые наименьшей предустановкой с уменьшением эффекта через непрозрачность слоя. Резкость были поднята через high pass радиусом 1,7. Ваше предложение насчёт unsharp mask - это слишком грубый приём, я не пользуюсь им никогда, потому что он даёт катастрофические светящиеся контуры. Я надеялся, что вы укажете мне числа для поправок; однако коль скоро чисел вы не записали, значит, я могу судить только на глазок. На глазок же я вижу, что вы сделали картинку темнее, поэтому невозможно разобрать, что происходит со стволами деревьев, и поэтому картинка потеряла естественно-научный смысл. Очевидно, вы пользуетесь LCD-монитором с завышенной яркостью, поэтому вам приходится увеличивать контраст и продавливать тени книзу. Я пользуюсь калиброванным CRT-монитором. Вы поправили оттенки так, что картинка стала жёлтой, чего не было в природе: трава не имеет такого жёлтого оттенка при нейтрально-белом нормированном освещении.--PereslavlFoto (talk) 10:52, 26 August 2012 (UTC) Будущее этой фотографии таково. Если вы желаете сохранить свои поправки, вам надо загрузить их новым изображением и поставить шаблон о том, что вот тут производная работа с моего оригинала. Если не желаете, я просто откачу вашу правку. В будущем эта фотография будет заменена совершенно другой, сделанной с того же места с того же самолёта другим объективом. Сейчас тут находится временная затычка, далёкая от идеала, которая призвана выполнить только одну задачу: дать людям свободное изображение. Я трезво понимаю, что по чёткости она далека от идеала и что алхимия не поможет делу.--PereslavlFoto (talk) 10:52, 26 August 2012 (UTC) Прошу вас, не берите в голову. Она же изначально с выбитыми светами и смазанной чёткостью, такую лечить — только портить. Моя-то задача была главным образом по отношению к лётчику — показать ему, что можно сделать из его снимка, и сагитировать на повторный полёт в те места. Кроме того, она единственная свободная покуда, так что выбирать не приходится. Особым шедевром эта фотография не станет.--PereslavlFoto (talk) 12:00, 27 August 2012 (UTC) File:Cais da Ribeira, Oporto, Portugal, 2012-05-09, DD 14.JPG Hello Aleks, since I am quite stubborn :) I tried it once more and saw afterwards that you had already promoted the picture. Please, have a look to the last version and if you think that it does not deserve QI, just revert. Thanks a lot for your help! Poco a poco (talk) 22:04, 29 August 2012 (UTC) You convinced me, I have reverted to your version, thanks again, Poco a poco (talk) 08:55, 30 August 2012 (UTC) File:Virgen de la Chiquinquira en la Basilica de la Chinita, Maracaibo, Venezuela.jpg Hello Aleks,I'm honestly impressed by the improvements that have been done.
