•  Oppose very poor quality BW picture, by far not mitigating historical value. Lycaon 13:42, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Ouch. Jaakobou 17:48, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Actually, because of the manipulations it has even lost its historical value!! Lycaon 19:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Support, to Lycaon - look at the picture at 2 mp resolution. It's not that bad. --Aqwis 18:26, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose I think this picture should be downsampled to match the quality/resolution of the original image, simply scanning an image with extremely high resolution doesn't make the quality any better. This image is extremely noisy and blurry at full res. -- Gorgo 21:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Really bad at full res! Doodle-doo Ħ 21:48, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Comment -- there's been a lot of work on enhancing minute details and getting the most out of the original. What would be the upside of down-sampling? all it will do is diminish the details of the original. It's not like anyone is planning on getting a perfect per-intch result on this with a 12 feet x 3 feet print... but if they want to print it in that size, I made sure that it would be the best quality possible.

•  Oppose - Agree with Gorgo, it is not important to be able to see the silver salts on the original emultion... -- Alvesgaspar 01:20, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
  • I thought the idea of posting here in larger than 'for screen' format, was for use of other formats, such as print and media. If I scale it down, other formats (that don't use 72 pixel/inch) will get a lesser result. I have experience in print format and it's nothing like web format. Jaakobou 10:11, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Support I don't see how losing detail would help it any. Adam Cuerden 07:30, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

• • Note: A down-sampling would create a big loss of retouch detail on the faces of the Indians. Jaakobou 21:51, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose Personally I'm sorry that water has gone. The picture was IMO a better composition with it. --MichaelMaggs 20:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
