- Comment It may just be me or my monitor, but I think I slightly prefer the brighter, browner coloration of the unrestored File:Sojourner Truth, NPG.79.220.jpg to the restored version, which seems a little dull to me and makes the folds of the shawl almost disappear.

- I can redo this without changing the levels if others agree with TSP but I thought the highlights were overblown in the original, especially on her face and on the shawl. On my monitor the shawl is more visible in the restoration. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 14:13, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- Support in any case - a great, historic photo in whichever coloration TSP (talk) 14:31, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
