~~Oppose~~ Restoring scratches, blemishes, etc. went quite well, and applying a black background is a good idea. As the high resolution original reveals, the colours in this nomination are a tad too bright. Assuming the original faded over the years it's quite reasonable to apply some sort of brightening and contrast enhancement. I'd be glad to support an improved version. The book's binding (and the resulting bend) is always an issue, but I think it's fair to assume that separating the original is not an option.

Support As some may know, the "Community" nominates me as a kind of specialist of restoration, and of this special book. No one have any idea of how such a restoration is difficult, and needs time and care in post-processing. Far much more than for any photograph here around. And this one is very well done. Yes, the brightening is maybe a bit strong (faces), but illuminated books, especially made for a Queen, were painted with "harsh", and flashy colors, with exagerated contrasts, in order to remain colorated for years or even centuries. Remember that this was painted around 1500; 500 years ago ! And we kept enough of original colors, to be able to restore almost how it was. Look, one can see the brush marks ! So, I support strongly this picture of the famous two brothers, patrons of med. doctors. My advice: add a bit of darkness, and reduce the brightness a little, then adjust the contrast.--Jebulon (talk) 09:15, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New file uploaded. I understand Chistoph Braun's arguments ( he's an expert too) but I think Jebulon, who worked on this book before me, understood what I tried to do : I wanted to show the picture as it could be seen by Anne de Bretagne the first time she had a look at it... I know it's difficult and probably impossible but it can be honestly tried, especially with somebody else's advice. So I've modified a bit my first picture according to the upper appreciations. I hope the difference with the original is now not so big as it was previously.--JLPC (talk) 18:20, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
