For graphists:

Graphists and other visitors to the Graphics Lab may be interested in the RSS feed of changes to this page. You may find it here.

Graphists, if you have completed work and have not received a reply from the requester, you may place the
{{GL Photography reply}} template on their talk page.

If you are looking for something to do, there are plenty of images with watermarks to be removed and files that need cleanup.

Request taken by Liandrei (talk) 21:53, 9 March 2026 (UTC).

Done - Hopefully this is ok. I'd be inclined to crop away the picture frame too as imho it is superfluous and detracts focus from the artwork itself, unless you see some value in keeping! Liandrei (talk) 23:00, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Perfect. Thank you. Keeping the frame. Regards, An emperor ✖ 23:30, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
