•  Info When I nominated the Livingstone image, I said it was going to be hard to move on to something different. So I stuck with Annan for now, because there's some beautiful prints of his work out there. Basic dust/scratch/damage cleanup; slight levels adjustment.

•  Support Very good portrait. Good restoration, but I think there is a frayed area on the lower right (viewer's left) of the cloak that wouldn't have been there and could be eliminated. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:48, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

  I think I see where you mean. It does have a fairly crinkly texture, though, so I'll go in carefully. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:17, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

  Comparing it with other prints, unsure if changes should happen. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:58, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

  Wikipedia needs them, after all. And one rarely needs photo restoration on a sufficiently modern photo, and ones 1927-2000 are rarely out of copyright. There's some from that era - Rosa Parks has an FP, Carl Van Vechten and Carol Highsmith did releases - but it's rarer.

  Basically, it's the sweet spot for availability Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:27, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
