Re: Jagdfliegerverbände 9 / I
Once you restore photos you are dealing with interpretations and the subjective choice of the one restoring the photo, whatever his qualified background. I'd rather get the unrestored photo and apply my own interpretation using basically the same tools.
Of course you can enjoy restored photos, I know I do, but it is important that their captions include the fact that they have been "enhanced".
As long as the material is closest to the original print you know you have more or less the same "raw material" subject to enhancement.
But I can certainly understand both sides of the argument.
