Equipment: Canon EOS 30D (mostly with a Canon EF-S 18–55mm lens), and, for travel and macro, the Olympus TG-6, sometimes Photoshop 2024, more often PhotoPea.

I maintain a small but growing list of media tools accessible through a web browser at User:JayCubby/Browser Tools. There are some interesting ones there. You are requested to add to it. I also have created an (always) incomplete collection of photo resources which provide hi-res files. You can add to that, too.

• 
  My first featured restoration
• 
  Uploaded without restoration
• 
  I didn't create the photo, but I did run a JPEG artifact reduction program. FP.
• 
  Early composite image, which I restored.
• 
  Restoration of Nadar's many self-portraits. FP.
• 
  Restoration. Featured.
• 
  Restoration work with Yann, made FP.
• 
  Re-restoration at better resolution
• 
  FP, cute.
• 
  I simply uploaded this. Higher-res of an existing pic.
• 
  I did remove dust spots, I suppose. Not that it makes it my picture!
• 
  Uploading this had been on my mind for some time. It has some flaws, which are outweighed by detail and resolution.
• 
  Some poor soul did all the restoration work only to get paid pennies by Getty when a news agency paid hundreds for the image...
• 
  I discovered a trove of LoC that are featurable. I'll disclose the source later...
• 
  Belongs on the Wiktionary entry for 'ornate'. FP voters agreed on its quality. Royal pain in the ass to restore, though.
• 
  I'm particularly pleased with my restoration work here.
• 
  Yes, I only nominated this because of the season.
• 
  Passed, in spite of a subpar restoration by me.
• 
  A combination of two techniques: forced perspectives and montaging.
• 
  Soon I will shift from the Library of Congress to the National Portrait Gallery. Stay tuned.
• 
  As I promised, I pulled from the NPG. More image sources have also been located. I may publish a list.
• 
  Back to the LoC...
• 
  Purchased from eBay. Yann, awesome as usual, did much of the restoration!
• 
  New source, the California Archives!
• 
  Pulling from the list of Pulitzer Prize photos
• 
  Science History Institute
• 
  Europeana again. Lots of good carte de visites of that era.
• 
  I still pilfer from the LoC's blog.
• 
  NYPL by way of the DPLA.
