Graphics Lab/Photography workshop

Shortcuts

The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps.
This specific page is the requests page for the photography workshop. Anyone can make a request for a photograph to be improved for a Wikipedia article. The standard format for making a request is shown below, along with general advice, and should be followed.

Advice to requesters

All requests:

Please make sure your request is "legitimate" by copyright. If the image(s) are in the public domain or freely licensed, you are fine. If the image(s) are "Fair use", there are only certain things we can do with them without falling afoul of Wikipedia's fair-use policies.
- If you are requesting assistance with a copyright or fair-use image, don't display it on this page; place {{GLNF|Example.png|caption|align=left}} to create a link to it. Do not add the File: extension. Our fair-use policy does not allow displaying fair-use images out of their articles on ANY account.
Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed.
If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.

SVG requests:

Make sure your request can actually BE vectorized. Note that vector drawings are not suitable for certain applications. We generally use SVG format for icons, logos, drawings, maps, flags, and such. Certain things, photographs especially, are totally impossible to vectorize.
Per our non-free content policy, vectorization of copyrighted images is not permitted. If a vectorized non-free image is desired, seek out such an image from the copyright holder.

Ninomaru Palace Nagoya

AI restored interpretation

Article(s)

Nagoya Castle

Request

Probably the only extant photograph of the Ninomaru Palace of Nagoya Castle, this is a historically very precious photograph. Is it possible to use AI to try to restore it as much as possible in colour, but also correct the overexposed main turret in the back left so all details of the structure can be seen? I know that this would make it a composite, but I hope the new version can show as many details as possible, as if being there in person on that day. Please also do not trim any of the missing black pieces on the border but restore it, essentially extending the image. Thank you very much. Gryffindor (talk) 23:01, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Gryffindor:

Done - Apologies for the delay on this, took a while get to something looking half decent! Hope this is ok :) Regards, ⟦ Lιᐰndrєι ⟧ ✧ talk ✉ 19:56, 14 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I know this is an unusual request. Two things: 1) the largest roof in the back left side, and the two smaller ones next to it to the right should be thatched, not tiled. Please see image of the twin palace next it where you can the colour and texture of the roof [1] and for the two smaller roofs they are probably tea houses, similar to this [2]. For the main keep in the back please see this historic images for all the correct details such as the windows, the dark colour of the gables, etc. [3] and how it appears today [4]. Thank you very much Gryffindor (talk) 23:28, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Is proving to be quite tricky and troublesome to get the right prompt that yields satisfactory results, taking into account all of the valid points you raise! Shall keep persisting however. ⟦ Lιᐰndrєι ⟧ ✧ talk ✉ 21:27, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Still struggling to get it looking right! But to be honest its likely that any AI generated image will not be acceptable or last long in mainspace per the nascent AI image generated polcy, WP:AIGI refers. Unfortunately as much as I want to help, going to have to capitulate on this one and admit defeat. ⟦ Lιᐰndrєι ⟧ ✧ talk ✉ 20:17, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
