I'd say the same about most makeup."And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961

I really think they shouldn't. For instance, in the one you posted it is all too obvious they were tampered with. Space behind the women is just too black compared to the rather faded colors of the scan. And IMO the edge between the tampered part and the rest of the image is just ugly. I deleted all the "cleaned" Bergey's the moment I first saw them.Originally posted by Winston
He was contracted to do covers for several "exciting stories" magazines, among them Startling Stories, for which that image was used. It was nicely cleaned up by the scanner before posting to the group I mentioned earlier.
Here's the original cover image.
Here is another one, for DanS

It depends, really. In most of the cases I've seen, it has enhanced the enjoyment of the picture. If done carefully, it is often the best way we have to acquire the image that is closest to the original painting, from the artist's hand. Bergey didn't paint the rather imposing header and accompanying text for the magazine covers, you know..
But obviously, it's a matter of preference, and like I said, dependant on the individual circumstances. Retouching a damaged scan source is probably done more often than one would realize, in the case of the dedicated scanners. That's part of the reason they have such a relatively low output, it's very time consuming to get it "right".
Anyway, the more we talk, the less we post those wonderful pictures!

Winston, you may vote for Venstre, you may read JP, but you make exellent babe threads - please continue
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Ah, such praise is always welcome, even from loony-voting, non-JP-reading babe watchers.

It's amazing how Freudian the space pinups are.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment
