Basic cropping[edit]

A major staging ground during the Second Battle of Corinth

Article(s): Not sure yet, but National Register of Historic Places listings in Alcorn County, Mississippi at least

Request:

I've just gotten a new camera, but I've not figured out (1) the photo editing software that comes with it, or (2) how to get it to produce images with panorama-type dimensions (much less height than width, e.g. this image). Please crop out the bottom (including my car mirror) and top, so there's less sky and less asphalt. I was imagining something with the current width and a height of c. 3400 pixels, with approximately equal amounts removed from the top and the bottom, since I'd like the center of the current image to be at the center of the cropped image.

@Andre Kritzinger: Doing so would obscure the black & yellow bands in the middle. Are you sure you want it done? Changing the middle will change what the ribbon means. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 22:05, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, that's how it is in reality, and it does change what the ribbon means. For comparison, see the Pro Patria Medal ribbon bars without and with Mentioned in Dispatches emblems.

I usually upload the full page scan for record before cropping to the desire image. I never intend to keep it as a page scan of a book page because usually page scans useless and useable on Wikipedia to illustrate articles. Page scans of page usually comes with the entire book as seen here. I would prefer that the current version be overridden since they were upload to be images of the images not the texts of surrounding pages. Thanks.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 04:04, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

rotatebot on wp/en?[edit]

hello;

IS there something like commons' "rotatebot" available on wp/en? because i've just tried "invoking" it, & it doesn't seem to have worked.

if not, then i need this pic losslessly rotated 90 clockwise; aka right-side-up xD

i've uploaded the file here, because of the "country of origin" PD requirement at commons; the item is easily & obviously "pre-1923", & therefore PD-USA, but it's not as clear how european copyright(s) would apply.

there's going to be rather a lot more of these; i've got a small collection of postcard art; mostly original works, not printed cards, & mostly wwi-related. i want to get a small gallery together in time for the centennial.

& many of the images will require rotation... if we don't have a rotatebot here, could we get one?

if anyone wants to play with colour/contrast, they are more than welcome to do so, but please upload it as a separate file? we are the "primary online source" for the item(s), so the originals should be accessible.

as some point, they can all be moved to commons, when the european copyrights are either clear, or clearly expired.

thanks-in-advance
