 * Support Though I'd suggest using the brush tool set to hue in order to fix some colour deviations. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 18:28, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose - serious damage/artifacts around the face, visible posterisation/JPEG artifacts towards the bottom. MER-C 19:23, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
 * User:MER-C, I fixed the area next to her face (next to her chin), and I restored the pixel level integrity of the nom version to that of the original scan from the source (University of Kentucky). Now the restored (nominated) image differs from the original only in the retouched areas. It's as good as it gets (given the original). User:FatCat96, I took the liberty of taking (and using) your restored version and uploading an updated version on top. I hope you don't mind. Thank you for your restorations and nominations.

 * I'll remain in the oppose column. That removed the artifacts around the face but the face and neck has the same problem. MER-C 11:18, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * That's on the original itself. It looks very much like brushwork to add texture to her skin. Not defects. That’s not something we restore or remove, unless there was a good reason for it. Bammesk (talk) 02:01, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * It's generally signs of image editing that aged poorly Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 02:41, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Victorian image editing. Like, physical edits to the negative. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 05:13, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
