Scope:
Nicholas Wiseman Restored daguerreotype by Mathew Brady |
Reason:
I chose this picture because it was very damaged and I like the result of the restoration with GIMP and Flow. This Cardinal was the first roman catholic bishop of Westminster, England. Best in the scope IMO. Please see the original file for comparison. -- Jebulon (talk) | |

Comment Please specify information and vessel positions. --Pierre André (talk) 09:50, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
Comment Thanks for comment, position and more information done. --JPD115 13:28, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
Comment It is important to specify port or starboard, stern or bow, best regards.--Pierre André (talk) 16:52, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
Comment Thanks Pierre André, i understand the comment, right now i will had each time the point of view from the object. Regards--JPD115 21:36, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
Comment The scope perimeter must indicate the vessel's position view from starboard stern. Please examine how the scope should be constructed as in this example Valeriya (ship, 1971), port side view.Regards. --Pierre André (talk) 21:31, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Scope:
Pierre Jules Baroche, standing portrait, by Eugène Disdéri |
Reason:
Best in scope IMO, with a complete file page. A traditional official photograph of the time of the french Second Empire. This man was a jurist, a chief justice, a minister several times, during the reign of Napoleon IIIrd. Difficult to clean and restore. -- Jebulon (talk) | |
Comment It's impressively realistic. It gives a strange effect because it's perhaps much sharper and more defined than the original photo.--JackyM59 (talk) 18:55, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
Support It seems like a brilliant AI restoration. Wheather that is 'ethically' OK or not, I don't know. So I say to myself - would the photographer and subject have liked it? I think they would. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:05, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
Comment Thank you for comments and support. please notice that if I use AI softwares for major and repetitive corrections, I work on all my pictures by myself alone too. And the AI works well only if you give it the good and relevant orders. This is just another way to post-product pictures.--Jebulon (talk) 09:31, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
Comment In this VI nom, you have included the name of portrait photographer. In others (ex: Mathew Brady, Nadir), you have not.
IMHO, the original image should carry the name of the original portrait photographer or their studio. However, after copying from the original, followed by manual retouching and AI restoration, the result is somewhat removed from (and possibly better than), the original decaying print. For curious, what are your thoughts on inclusion of the original photographer in the VI nom? --GRDN711 (talk) 00:55, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
- This is a question of « scope » in the VI nomination. Several portraits of Baroche, standing, exist in Commons. I wanted to reduce the scope in portrait only by Eugène Disdéri, so we can nominate portraits of Baroche by Petit, Nadar, or any other old photographer.
Comment Responding to the question on colorizing old prints. Yours looks brilliant, but if you had done it two years ago, it might have looked rubbish. And there would be many who might add colour, for instance to medal ribbons, which might be difficult to check. The result could not be described as a restoration though. And you did the face; others might invent tie, frock, or wallpaper colours. Probably best to keep them away from VI for now. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:38, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Scope:

Please look at other nominations to see how we format VI scopes. I prefer this image as VI (and FP) for the female and will support. I do not know why both @Tisha Mukherjee and Paramanu Sarkar: reverted your good faith edit on enwiki. Perhaps they can have another look. Being FP carries no weight if there is a better non-FP image available on Commons. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:15, 6 May 2026 (UTC)@Charlesjsharp: Previously many people insisted that I use my images including you, now while they are being used people are not liking it. No one likes it when their images are replaced that's the reason I never wanted to replace anyone's image. If those badges (FP VI and QI) makes no difference why do we spend hours to get them? And why people spend hours reviewing them either? - Tisha Mukherjee (talk) 15:20, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
@Charlesjsharp: The image used is already a VI, FP and QI and to me way better than the one is nominated. - Paramanu Sarkar (talk) 14:24, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you Charlesjsharp. I did feel my photo was better in virtually every parameter, be it sharpness, colour depth and plumage and features detail including eye colour and a clear look at all 4 toes of the left leg.

- But please look at other nominations to see how we format VI scopes. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:00, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
Oppose Opposed as we already have an FP of the female. If you want to nominate this image you have to take it to MVR. Yes @Tisha Mukherjee and Paramanu Sarkar: , I encourage all users (like you Tisha) who take high quality photos to add their images to Wiki articles, but you should only replace an existing image if it is the best (on technical merit and EV). This nominated image, though small, is better on both counts in my view. I did support your image at VI, but missed this one. I was surprised your image made FP as the head is not in focus and there is some issue around the top of the beak. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:58, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
@Charlesjsharp: Yes I do exactly as you said, I replace only if I find it better otherwise not and with good intensions and not just promote self images. Our perspectives may differ but I truly find Tisha's photo less noisy, better feather details and includes much more color data which this image lacks. But I welcome your opinion. - Paramanu Sarkar (talk) 07:05, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
