•  Comment I marked some lines that remain on her face. I sort of feel like this picture has been unduly enlarged, overemphasizing scratches and producing posterization lines on the upper right and center. I remember when my brother made analog prints blown up with an enlarger in the 70s. They were high-quality. I think the problem here is that an existing analog photo has been enlarged, producing digital artifacts, instead of redeveloping it at a larger size from the negative. If that doesn't make sense, let me know. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:21, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

• More restoration done. Thanks for spotting these scratches. Sure, it would be much better to have a non-compressed high resolution scan, but we don't. I think an earlier version was over-compressed, which produced these artifacts. Yann (talk) 12:12, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

• Definite improvement, thanks. Still some artifacts on the upper left, which I see I didn't mention before. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:48, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

•  Support I can't see marking by Ikan, but saw it easily, at lest two...and marked. Watermark on left is more historic and could be left, right one was some internal marking and not useful. --Mile (talk) 08:46, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
