Dorothy Anstett, Miss USA, 1968
  •  Comment I took the liberty to change the gallery link from People/Portrait to Historical/People#1960-1969; as the comment on People/Portrait says, “This gallery is for color head to half-lenght photographs […] of people from 1970 or later. For portrait photographs […] from 1969 or earlier, please use Historical portrait photos or Black and White portraits.” --Aristeas (talk) 13:56, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I dunno: A blueish tint in the shadows of a shot taken on daylight-balanced film is to be expected. Adjusting the facade in the background towards neutral grey is not the way to go here, imho. --El Grafo (talk) 09:15, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There wouldn't be such tint in modern photos under the same lighting conditions which to me suggests it's a thing of older technology that can be adjusted. Various digitized photos from that period have similar tint. Brandmeister (talk) 16:50, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, but IMHO in this version the shadows are still bluish enough; in the original the bluish tint was exaggerated – either a poor film was used, or it was not processed correctly in the lab. Of course everything depends on the film type used for the photograph, as different daylight films handled colours quite differently, even in the 1990s when I shot on film. It’s a pity that scans of old photographs almost never include information about the film. If they would just include the border of the transparency (often naming the film brand), we would know more. – Aristeas (talk) 20:03, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
