Why are you making a scaled down version in png format of a perfectly good jpg version which is the better format for photographs anyway? We normally only keep the highest resolution version of any image. And, if you want to crop an image and avoid it having to be reviewed again, just use the CropTool that can be activated in your commons Preferences, under Gadgets. The CropTool will then appears in the left side of your screen. It saves everyone a lot of time because it transfers all the correct and appropriate information into the cropped image, such as source, license, author, etc. It even leaves a backlink to the original and visa versa so long as the original has been positively reviewed. That way all the proper information is there and does not need to be manually reviewed by volunteers. If you are just cropping a small bit of the image like a frame you can decide to overwrite the original image but for more major crops you should upload the cropped version as a separate new image, but you have a choice. Good luck. Ww2censor (talk) 09:47, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
