Restoration: was it worth it? sent on May 09, 2023 (17:58) by Ema49. 42 comments, 1259 views.

, f/16.0, ISO 400,

Immagine di 50 anni fa, già proposta. Un laborioso (per me) restauro ha tolto il 70-80% della grana, che pure a me non dispiace, e restituito il contrasto originale che, per i mie gusti e nel bw, deve essere forte. Eliminata anche qualche inopportuna imperfezione. Ma mi è rimato qualche dubbio sulla validità di questo restauro... Originariamente, la foto è stata scattata con Pentax e Takumar 135mm, sviluppata in 30x40. Utilizzati tutti prodotti Ilford.

Here the photo posted about 10 months ago, NOT retouched. I only re-photographed the vintage print, cropping a lot to eliminate destroyed parts:

Thank you, Philip :-)
My doubt is that the restoration has not taken something away from the original, of which I posted the link at the beginning of the comments.

The photo is beautiful and it was worth restoring it. For comparison, you should also publish the unrestored version ;-)

Thanks Charles.
At the top of the comments there is the link to the photo not restored, but only cropped to eliminate completely irretrievable parts (indelible cosmetic stains)

Well, looking now, I prefer this result to the previous image and I find it very beautiful; It is more difficult to pronounce on the question you ask in the title and in the note: academically you could write a book on the yes in favor as well as on the no against.... So it's the question that's wrong! And even more: you yourself already have the answer! If anything for us it would be interesting to know in bit of your yes in favor and your no against: anyway here I just looked at a long time a nice photo of fifty years ago :-)

It's easy for me to answer. In the face of a restoration that has eliminated many imperfections, a well-rooted memory has been lost. A bit like the restoration of Leonardo's Last Supper, made the necessary proportions. The dust of time has its own, enormous, importance. :-)
