Graphist opinion(s): As nobody else tried yet - here's an attempt. If you think I've overdone it desaturating the blue in the globe, just say, I've kept the source file, so easy to change, and it's a separate adjustment to the highlights on the station itself. (in fact there are a couple less aggressive in the history of the 'edit' file) Begoon^talk 14:29, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, but the new files seem more... Blotchy? As for saturation, etc., if you could make the new file as close as possible to the first, lo-res version of the original file, that's what I'm looking for. :-)

That's straightened based on the lettering, since the geometry of the thing is all over the place. If you try to straighten based on the cutouts, the lettering runs uphill and looks wrong.

Request: Please remove the Japanese text. As an extra, change the background color to something more positive than pure black. bamse (talk) 09:55, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):  Done: I've uploaded the image under a seperate filename as the current version is used on both the Japanese and Chinese wikis and they may well wish to retain the text. I've evened up the space around the swords, cropped it a bit and kept the background black as I feel this offers the best contrast, I see no reason to make the background of this encyclopedic image a garish colour. However I could invert the colours if you wish, making the background white and swords darker. Regards

Thanks for the very fast response. Looks good to me. Inverting colors would probably make the swords look less like metal. bamse (talk) 21:30, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
