@PawełMM: Thank you. Is it possible to reduce the blurring? MrKeefeJohn (talk) 17:35, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

@MrKeefeJohn: In my opinion, trying to improve does nothing. After sharpening, nasty noise appears. Attempting to mitigate them results in a return to the original state. The initial photo was unfortunately not very sharp. PawełMM (talk) 18:07, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

@PawełMM: I had some doubts about the quality and you confirm them. Thank you for you help! MrKeefeJohn (talk) 18:11, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Removing spot

• 
  Catholic Church of Saint Anne. Rakaw, Belarus
• 

Article(s): w:ru:Костёл Святой Анны (Раков) and other languages.

Request

I did not notice spot on lens or ultraviolet filter before going on photo-session, so it's necessary to deal with consequences. It's more question about relatively easy fix, because two days photo-session was large (~ 200 photos), so I don't want to dump such job on other person. Photos in gallery are just examples. Complete set of uploaded photos of this subject are File:Belarus-Rakaw-Church of Anne-3.jpg - File:Belarus-Rakaw-Church of Anne-16.jpg. Automatic ones would be definitely better, because of my overall "expertise" in graphics editing. What are best tools for automatic fixing such problems, preferably open-source or not too expensive proprietary, if former is not available? --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:57, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

@EugeneZelenko: It seems that you are probably oversensitive. The dark spots in the first photo are probably shadows of something off-set. Both photos are sharp, contrasting and with saturated colour. Despite my efforts, I couldn't spot anything that needed improvement. I would leave these photos in their current state. PawełMM (talk) 20:34, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Spot is on sky on first photo (near center). On second photo it is on the tip of the cross. See also File:Belarus-Rakaw-Church of Anne-12.jpg - on sky on left side near center. EugeneZelenko (talk) 02:52, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

@EugeneZelenko: In my opinion, these are minimal errors that can be trivialised. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a tool to remove them automatically. The only thing left is the individual retouching of each photo. And this involves an amount of work that is disproportionate to the effect achieved. PawełMM (talk) 11:55, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

What are best tool(s) for retouching individual images? EugeneZelenko (talk) 16:45, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Looks like dust on the lens or filter. It can be easily removed from the first photo using the Clone Tool in the Gimp or similar software. It's much harder in the second as it overlaps detail but is not very prominent so can likely be ignored. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 18:17, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
