Would [1] be a better lead image, or the current one (probably would redo the current one's colours a bit. While the original is a bit dark, so lightening it wasn't a bad idea, it might get a bit better look with some care when doing the levels adjustment.

Well, going to presume no-one much cares. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 20:28, 2 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

For fuck's sake. I spend literally a month working on an image, and the reaction to a fucking sliver of headroom is to "compromise" by replacing it with a completely different image that A. is full of chromatic abberation and B. appeared in the article much further down, so was used twice. @Emiya1980: Let the people who know what they're doing with images handle images, please, because you clearly don't know anything about historical images, and it's getting frustrating, like I don't want to do anything on any article you might potentially ever edit. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 07:58, 9 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I did not replace the image you used. I just made alterations to the "crop_top_perc" category when editing the Taft article's infobox. If you have that much of a problem with it, do an RFC and obtain consensus opinion on how the image should look.Emiya1980 (talk) 14:47, 9 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm really sorry. It was this edit withput a summary. I'll try to be less prickly. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 18:09, 9 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Adam Cuerden As someone still getting the hang of "CSS Easy Image Crop", how exactly would I go about cropping the image from the bottom upward?Emiya1980 (talk) 21:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

|crop_bottom_perc = 5

...would remove 5% from the bottom. Though I wouldn't crop too much. That shirt's going to look increasingly weird as more gets cropped. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 22:58, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
