Oppose - Crop is a bit too tight - notice how her hair continues past the edge of the image - and the highlights on her lapel are blown. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 08:47, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
~~Conditional~~ support restoration - Lapel is not blown - in the 215-240 region. The crop at the top doesn't bother me, but the background has a lot of scratches - needs some light restoration, and at the same time those few strands of hair crossing the image border could be cloned out; no big deal... --Janke | Talk 09:03, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Adam Cuerden, I need your help, please. Vinícius O. (talk) 01:34, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Will do my best, which hasn't been... great of late. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.5% of all FPs.} 02:16, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
~~Conditional~~ support restoration – pending restoration. I am not bothered by the crop. Bammesk (talk) 14:27, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, there's a less-cropped version in the history. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.5% of all FPs.} 23:14, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adam, I support either way, a wider crop would be fine. I doubt the other participants would mind a wider crop either. Bammesk (talk) 03:25, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's about half-done. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.5% of all FPs.} 18:47, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support restoration. -- Radomianin (talk) 13:08, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support restoration. Also, @Vinícius94, Janke, Crisco 1492, Bammesk, and Radomianin: I did it. I did have to revert the original image to the, well, original image as part of it, though, as it's the only way to keep the documentation. Not 100% happy with that, but not sure what to do. Might crop or edit the right edge, if desired, let me know preference between editing or cropping. I cropped for now.

Adam, the "Mayer" in "Metro Goldwyn Mayer" is there. It's almost invisible, but may be worth taking a look. Bammesk (talk) 13:47, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Did the trick where you make a layer with altered curves to emphasise the parts you want to fix, then edit the lower level (then check again). That probably got it. Couldn't see much more than a couple letters, but they're gone now. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.5% of all FPs.} 19:16, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your effort, Adam. I support the restored version, personally prefer it. Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 20:24, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support restoration only -Quite a bit better, and there appears to be more detail on her face — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:00, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
