Clean up to improve appearance

Article(s): en:Paul Martin (illustrator) - reachable via the link in reference 201.

Request

Hello. I am the original uploader of this image. I still have the original magazine. I would like to avoid any alterations that would require a new file name. Please tweak this image to make it more presentable. Notice how there is a bluish tint or something in the lower-third left section, for instance. The background should be more naturally uniform. I'd appreciate just some touch-ups to improve the overall quality without creating a new file name. That might mean improving the focus and coloring and removing any glare area. I attempted to improve the image with my basic image editor on May 2, 2025 (under "File history"). However, I seemed to give it an artificial glitter appearance instead. Update. I increased size and tried again w/o success on 7/5.

Graphist opinion(s)
Hi JimPercy, I strongly recommend rephotographing if that’s possible. Ideally use a bright sunny room during the day, but set the magazine as far away from the windows and direct sunlight as possible. Turn indoor lights off (if using natural light); we don’t want mixed lighting sources that have differing colours. Zoom your lens in, step back and set your shutter speed to 1/100 or higher. Take the photo without cropping in the outside edge of the magazine, and we can crop digitally. HTGS (talk) 18:50, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

Best to get this images right would be with to the original raw files. Work on the jpgs will get nothing out of the many raw processors magic. Grunpfnul (talk) 23:41, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
Any way to provide raw files? Commons doesn't allow to upload raw files Wasiul Bahar (talk) 15:50, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
WeTransfer or Dropbox could be possible (yes, its a shame that commons dosn't support this :( ) Grunpfnul (talk) 15:54, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

* Partially done. I will leave his shoulder to someone else. Could you ask the UP for a higher-resolution scan? JayCubby (talk) 16:09, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
Thank you! I'll try to get in touch with the UP Library. – Ubediplomacy (talk｜contribs) 16:14, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
Hi, unfortunately, the library hasn't gotten back to me. – Ubediplomacy (talk｜contribs) 15:44, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
That often happens. If they do (I've seen archives respond after several months), just ping me. JayCubby (talk) 17:18, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

This pic has been used for years for this article. It would be improved, I feel, if the hand and wrist at the right side of the pic (left of Mr. Hess's hand) were removed from the photo.Joel Russ (talk) 22:54, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
I found the photo and retouched it. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 10:55, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
