Hoi, We were discussing making the uploading from Picnic and making it something that would be available to everyone. I am sure some bright light will create a bot to "improve" pictures with a bot.. by making the uploading from Picnic available to everyone, it will just happen and the results will not be good because of the escalation to the existing controversy that it will bring. Thanks, Gerard

Hoi, Improving of the 'quality' of pictures is not in and of itself something that is not without controversy. There have been fierce fights in the
past
over exactly this subject and there are a great many people that do not upload to Commons as a result.
The notion that there is software that allows you to improve pictures
needs
to be handled with caution. I have seen tragic attempts of improvement
that
were anything but. It is nice to have tools that allow you to work on pictures, it needs judgement to know when to do this. Giving the
possibility
to overwrite existing pictures to everyone is imho NOT a good idea.
Everyone (account > 4 days) already has this possibility. It's just now they have to do it manually, by downloading the file, editing up, and uploading it again.
