  • Delist Much higher resolution, better contrast and colors. — Yann (talk) 09:37, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Conditional replace Support alt 2 - needs some touch-up to remove the creases and crop the border. MER-C 10:24, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Conditional replace – per MER-C. Bammesk (talk) 16:24, 6 July 2019 (UTC) . . . Support Alt 2 – Bammesk (talk) 02:19, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @MER-C, Adam Cuerden, and Bammesk: I uploaded a restored version. Please note that most defects are in the poster itself. Like an old painting, we don't want to clean cracks, etc. Regards, Yann (talk) 07:29, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's true for paintings. I'm not so sure that's true for mass-produced prints, where we should be providing an idealised copy. The big crack on the right, for instance, is not part of the encyclopedic value. I'm afraid I started on a restoration when you hadn't said anything for a day, and have... basically finished it before seeing this, so... sorry for stepping on toes.

  • Comment. I'm rather taken aback by this -- it's such a widely adapted image, in the heavily colour-saturated version; is this really what the original poster looked like? Have the colours faded over time? Espresso Addict (talk) 05:24, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the old FP is oversatured. I am not surprised, this is quite often done to boost the appeal. Regards, Yann (talk) 10:27, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It can be difficult to distinguish oversaturated because the original poster was oversaturated from oversaturated because somebody boosted it later. But in this case I think we should take the colors from the official government scan (as used in these restorations) as definitive. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:06, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
