Wikipedia talk:Graphic Lab/Facelift

The Graphic Lab improves any graphical content stored on Wikimedia Commons and the English Wikipedia.

Wikigraphists work to improve the quality of images that are proposed to them by the community. This involves work such as extracting key elements from photos, improving the color of images or emphasizing the main subject, 'stitching' multiple images together and often vectorizing images (converting to SVG). We also create new drawings, diagrams and maps when requests are made to do so.

Interested in helping out? Then go to the Images to improve page, and start improving. You can also add your entry to Wikigraphist abilities and yourself to Category:Wikigraphist.

Can't draw a thing? You can still help us: We need people to find images that need improvement and submit them. Anyone can make requests, even unregistered users.

For examples of work done by the Graphic Lab, see the archives of past work.

Instructions

Requests for the Graphics Lab are placed on the images to improve page with explanation of the work requested, following the instructions in the template. A Wikigraphist will sign up for the work, carry out the work, and, after approval, replace the original image with the improved one.

All help is welcome!
