Original - The Princeton University Class of 1879

High resolution scan of an old photograph. I rebalanced the shadows to make it less washed out and removed the yellow. Even if this doesn't make it through FPC I'd like to know how else I can improve it. Thanks.

  • I personally don't think it's suitable for FP - beyond anything else, EV is pretty dubious. Perhaps if you could identify some notable alumni in the image, EV would be better. TBH, I also doubt you'll get image quality high enough. In terms of improving it further, the first step would be to remove that big dark smudge on the left-hand side; getting rid of it would require a bit of work, but would be a big positive. Additionally there's a heck of a lot of dust and scratches at fullsize that could pretty easily be removed with a bit of casual cloning and healing in Photoshop. Also strikes me as having a very minor clockwise tilt (probably only 0.1° to 0.2°) which could also be pretty easily fixed. Regards, --jjron (talk) 10:46, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree with jjron. Even if some of the people in the image are notable, the image quality isn't high enough for any of them to be identifiable. Makeemlighter (talk) 20:07, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
