Comment. Is it really a "restoration"? It seems to me it was just darkened (but I could be wrong). NauticaShad es 15:36, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I cleaned up a lot of JPEG artefacting in the restored version. Luckily, the original photo has a soft focus, so I could do that with minimal loss of information. Look between the man's legs (and, yes, I realise that sounds dirty, but you know what I mean). Of course, it's not as good as a new scan from the original would be - there's still some signs of it at full resolution - but the chance of getting that scan is almost nil, and I was able to salvage most of the really obviously artefacted areas by careful restoration.

Delist and Replace. I still can't see where the artifacts were removed, but it does look better darkened, so why not? NauticaShad es 16:02, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delist and Replace with restored essentially per Nauticashades and like him/her I can't tell the restoration differences really either but I'll take your word for it and it does look better darker. Cat-five - talk 09:45, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
