•  Comment I think you could increase the contrast. Yann (talk) 19:22, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

•  Support He could, but would that be justified, based on something about the original intentions shown in the photograph? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:53, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

• Historic documents should remain faithful to the original in my opinion. Restoration is accepted, but the render should be as close as possible to reality. It's not like the treatment of own works that can be arranged as desired -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:16, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

• The issue here is if this copy reflects the colours of the original print. I suspect it doesn't. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:55, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

  Well, the scan as we have it now is in the file description. I've done some fade correction. Adam Cuerden (talk) 12:25, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

•  Question Folks, isn't this version plausible as a sepia-toned photo? I don't understand why no-one is voting for this photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:13, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

• Can we be sure that the photographer produced his original prints as sepia-toned? Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:01, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

  Oh, yes. The original scan very obviously is. File:Amanda Berry Smith by T. B. Latchmore - Original.tif The photograph is pasted to the mount. The paper colour of the mount is just what they chose, it doesn't indicate anything about the photo colours. Sepia was pretty much the method of stabilising photographic prints of this period; most of the stuff that wasn't sepia'd won't have lasted. There are exceptions - glass plate negatives and such - but they're rarer. Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:16, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
