CIE Automotive[edit]

Dear RaphaelQS:

May I ask if you could help me and vectorise this logo? (it is already vectorised, but the round thing isn't)!

Thank you!!!

Hum... The original source isn't vector graphics, only the text is see this PDF --RaphaelQS (talk) 12:21, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AI upscales[edit]

I noticed you've been recently uploading new versions of images that are 2x the original resolution, with the summary "Same picture, higher resolution". For starters, you are not sourcing these from official sources that have scanned prints or negatives at higher resolutions. You seem to be using some AI program that upscales the images. It seems to do this by denoising, and then sharpening somewhat, but it introduces artifacts, such as near the subject's shirt and tie at File:Friedrich_Hayek_portrait.jpg. At File:H.G._Wells_by_Beresford.jpg, your upscaler actually gave him green eyes! It's introducing information that was not present in the original source, and even misrepresenting the original. Please stop this immediately unless you get consensus to do so. Browsers can already naively upscale images. Your uploads give the illusion of being higher quality, but it's just an AI interpreting, without information from the original print/negative, so not higher quality in reality.

"It's introducing information that was not present in the original source" this is a bug, thanks for telling me, the model is trained to reduce compression artifacts or other issues of low resolution with picture scanning/digitization. --RaphaelQS (talk) 15:46, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fixing that still doesn't address the main issue: your use of AI to upscale images rather than sourcing actual higher resolution scans. Firstly, you should have been 100% transparent about the use of AI as a matter of ethics. Second, you should have gained consensus for using a new, controversial, technology on Commons' original images. Like I said, no matter how good it gets, AI will only ever interpret data rather than being truly higher resolution, since it does not have access to the original physical media, and for those, we will just have to live with compression artifacts and low resolution until new scans are made available. Please revert all your uploads where you used such a program and refrain from any new uploads until you gain consensus from the Commons community.

I've been doing image restoration for Commons using Photoshop for years (see for example File:TRUMAN 58-766-06 (cropped).jpg), it's just a tool that speeds up the process of removing artifacts and damage caused by the digitization process by restoring the image to its intended resolution. But if you see any specific problem, for example another bug with the eye color, you can report it to me, I'm not perfect! Thanks. --RaphaelQS (talk) 16:19, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You think you're removing "damage caused by the digitization process", but you're introducing your own damage such as the two cases which have already been pointed out, and I'm sure if I took a closer look at all your recent uploads, I'd notice artifacts introduced in each. You're just speeding up the degradation of images under the guise of "higher resolution", while only being technically higher resolution, with the pixels themselves being inferior. Using AI to upscale is very different from manually restoring an image by removing dust, where a human editor uses appropriate judgement to not "change" the original, but rather "restore".
If you won't voluntarily agree to revert your recent uploads and refrain from uploading any new AI upscales, I will have no choice but to raise the issue with the Commons community. Opencooper (talk) 16:38, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you find a picture I restored to its original resolution ending up being degraded by the process I'm happy to discuss it and I have no qualms about reverting to an earlier version (even if it's at a lower resolution), but in most cases what is being altered is no different than what is done by applying a Photoshop sharpening and noise reduction filter in a selective manner to remove the artifacts and damage introduced by the digitization of the pictures. --RaphaelQS (talk) 16:52, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you uploaded a file using the name File:Friedrich Hayek portrait.jpg. A file by this name already existed on Commons. Overwriting an existing file should not be done except when making minor, uncontroversial corrections, so the file has been restored to its previous version. If the file that you attempted to upload is within our project scope and is in the public domain or published under a free license, please upload it again under a different name. Thank you. For more information, please see Commons:Overwriting files.

Image clean up help[edit]

Hello, I've noticed you cleaned up file:TRUMAN 58-766-06 (cropped).jpg. I was wondering if you can help do something similiar for File:Presidente Óscar Berger.jpg? Thanks. Encyclopedia2001 (talk) 20:24, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
