Creator: United States Public Health Service, with restoration byJ.J.

Question: Is this from a scan? The image seems dusty. Spencer^T♦C 07:04, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It's from the 80s, so it has to be a scan of film. I've got this one; cleaned version will be up by tomorrow. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 09:49, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Not happening on my original projected timescale: I didn't realise how utterly filthy this image is. Will get it done ASAP. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:59, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - About a third to half done, though, to be fair, I have been quite busy. May stop to do the infantryman I promised if I need a break (these sorts of very dirty images are a little frustrating) Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 05:52, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - What is the mechanism for suspending the clock? I have a support vote ready to apply as soon as you finish, but there might not be very much time left when you are done. Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 14:13, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        I'll throw it into Suspended nominations. Oh, by the way, don't be surprised if you see some restorations from be in the meantime. When I get frustrated with a difficult restoration, I relax by doing something relatively quick. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 17:52, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Right. Let's get this uploaded. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 23:20, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Upload and Support Edit 1 Let me know about any other changes desired. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 23:55, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Edit 1 — An amazing amount of crap that you had to remove! Kudos to you for your fine job of cleanup! Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 00:24, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Edit 1. Good restoration. Spencer^T♦C 21:18, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Edit 1. Good work cleaning up all the dust specks. The picture itself has a professional composition and depicts the notable subject in a clear way. The sharpness and detail is not great by modern standards but is perfectly fine for a 1980s photo. The removal of dust spots seems to have produced some barely perceptible splotches (compare with original) but it is not a big deal. 99% of the monitors in the world cannot see those splotches anyway. dllu (t,c) 20:47, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Aye, the black was particularly hard to edit, as I had to actually be a little creative to be able to see some of the parts needing cleaned, which is annoying. I removed as much as possible of the problem, but didn't want to over-edit, but did want to get out the obvious smears above the image. I'm afraid your image for the original doesn't display, however, so I can't quite tell what I'm looking at Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 20:52, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
