A gradual reduction in the quality of an image is to be expect every time it is manipulated. I gave it another go, adjusting the contract more this time to try to bring out the writing a little more, but I think some detail (such as the writing) is simply going to get lost no matter what. --RA (talk) 20:14, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Bai Ze/Hakutaku

Request: The image is a crop of an 18th-19th century (Edo period) Japanese painting of a hakutaku, intended as an "icon"/talisman, as described in the article. I'd like to add it to said article (especially since we have a relative paucity of images of the creature). The original painting, however, is EXTREMELY fragile, & i'm still trying to figure out how to scan it, without damaging it; so, for the near-to-forseeable future, a photo will have to do. Image needs contrast enhancement (at least) to show the lines of the drawing more clearly; could use other work, too. Lx 121 (talk) 07:58, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
