Melissa Smith Portrait

I've done some enhancement work on a rare color Melissa Smith picture I came across. I've included two versions and the original. Which do you like better, 1 or 2? I'm going to be using it in an upcoming video.

Sadly, it looks as if we can't post images to Patreon comments. The image was created by Instagram user angels_thatweretaken_too.early and you can hopefully see it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CHcz_TalM1o/?img_index=2 If the address doesn't appear here as a link, just copy and paste it into your address bar.

I like 2. Although it's brighter and therefore shows more evidence that it's been enhanced, it also makes her face look much more alive to me.

That link does not work. Would you share the pictures anywhere please?

I guess I'd have to go with #2, but truth be told, I don't like either of them: they both look too highly processed to me. The irony is, this probably isn't that rare a photo: Melissa and her parents probably gave copies of it to all their friends and relatives, meaning there are probably lots of pristine prints around to this day in albums and frames all over Utah, Nevada, and beyond. It's just a matter of contacting the right person and getting the photo to a good scanner.

Version 1 would be better for a video. Version 2 looks neat with the black bordering but it's a bit distracting from the focus of the image i.e. Melissa herself.

They both are good. I think I like the one with the darker background just a little bit better.

I'm leaning towards no 1.

They are all good. I like them all. Maybe the first one…..

They’re both really good, but it’s the first pic for me.
