'''Article(s):''' [[Daniel Tyler]]

'''Request:''' Handsome old photo of a Union general. Needs some patient TLC. Grab the hi-res version from the LOC. In it's restoration I ask for minimal crop and full cleanup only. Don't play with brightness, etc. Prefer to stay away from smoothing filters and cloning large swatches. I'm looking for a significant improvement of what's there, not a repainting of backgrounds, etc. Also, no "interim" edits or "studies"... if you take the job, do the whole job, ''then'' upload it (over the original). &ndash;&nbsp;[[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 19:59, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

:On second thought.... after looking at that high-res tiff close up (no, I didn't do it earlier) you probably ''should'' employ an automated scratch filter. I'll leave it up you to employ it judiciously and with restraint. &ndash;&nbsp;[[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 22:24, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

::Needs must when the Devil drives, JB. As I've said before, I work under a self-imposed Hippocratic Oath when it comes to retouching, and this image will be no exception. I must say though, this is one of the most difficult images that I've ever worked on. It's taking a great deal of effort and every technique in my arsenal to deal with it. Thankfully the people who scanned the image saw fit to scan it at ''far'' higher resolution than the photograph itself, and in 16-bit too. When I've finished I might downsample it a little without loosing any information. What I'm most impressed with is the performance of my new laptop. It can handle hundreds of healing brush strokes per minute without even needing to power up the cooling fan! It's blowing my mind really, and making the £1000 price tag seem much more like money well spent. I'll finish it off tomorrow as my wrist is now killing me and I'd like to do the whole thing myself. This one's going in my portfolio. Hopefully when I upload it you'll agree. Night night. ''':-)''' [[User:Nagualdesign|nagualdesign]] ([[User talk:Nagualdesign|talk]]) 04:40, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

:::Just wanted to say that this hasn't gone <nowiki>{{stale}}</nowiki>, I've just been busy and have been working on it in fits and spurts. It will get done though. Regards, [[User:Nagualdesign|nagualdesign]] ([[User talk:Nagualdesign|talk]]) 18:04, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

*Added a separately uploaded restoration (i.e. a new [[:File:General_Daniel_Tyler_USA.jpg|file]]) of the LOC Tyler image to the above gallery which was created for my own purposes and not as a substitute for the efforts of anybody else.

:*I have marked this as either "Resolved" or "Stale" as I am the only one who has done anything at all to it in the month it has been here so it should be archived. [[User:Centpacrr|Centpacrr]] ([[User talk:Centpacrr|talk]]) 19:08, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
