Comment Smudge is gone. Comparing the edit to Durova's restoration, it appears she added punchier contrast and saturation, while PLW stuck closer to the original LOC file (besides his adjustment to white balance). I have a slight preference for her version but am ok with either; updated support above to reflect edit. Fletcher (talk) 01:17, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More comments on edit, please. Makeemlighter (talk) 19:12, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I changed my original support to support edit above...wasn't sure if I needed to add a new comment down here. Fletcher (talk) 00:45, 20 May 2010 (UTC) Promoted File:Humboldt River Papa 2.jpg --Makeemlighter (talk) 22:02, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
