  •   Oppose I'm afraid I must oppose this because it is not just restored but considerably lightened and contrast-enhanced vs the original. I would like to know what changes were made. I think you are trying to compensate for the yellowing of the linen sheet but you have also made the other colours (pink, blue, green, brown) much lighter too. I am not convinced that all colours would darken (some may even have faded and be more vivid in the original). Perhaps we should stick to removing obvious blemishes rather than trying to emulate what you think it might have looked like when new.
Also, Paris 16, I think best practice for restoration is that you first upload the original as either TIFF or PNG (I've done this now here). Then you should upload your restored version as TIFF or PNG so that others may make derivative works without suffering from lossy compression issues. Then upload a JPG for others to easily use, preferably with modest compression to help folk download large files. I uploaded the original as a JPG here with Photoshop compression 11 that is about 60% the size of your JPG. I suspect yours was saved at compression 12 (minimal compression), generally considered overkill and wasteful as it is visually indistinguishable from level 11. I've added {{Retouched}} template to your JPG and I think you should add details of what changes you made to the template parameter. I don't think it is educationally honest for us to present files like you did and claim the source is the National Library of Australia when in fact the image here is not same (I have appended a note to the Source entry on your JPG's page). We are fundamentally an educational media repository, so I think these aspects are essential for all our work, and required at FP. -- Colin (talk) 20:18, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank Colin! But I can't upload the original TIFF file. It's always "not verified".--Paris 16 (talk) 05:40, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I got the same error with the TIFF. Wondered if it was just because it took so long (or my PC was busy). Since it was only 8-bit TIFF, I saved it as PNG, which was smaller so I uploaded that instead. -- Colin (talk) 07:58, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
