This image is a digitally restored version of File:The Scout in Winter, Crow, 1908, Edward S. Curtis (original).jpg to remove scratches, scuffs, spots, creases, hairs, water stains, writing, and deterioration. Details in the foreground were brought out and the background slightly darkened. The image was cropped to remove the frame. Remaining edges were filled in using extremely subtle warping (affecting only the immediate pixels). The image was otherwise not stretched, warped, or rotated. Restoration work was performed on the original TIFF file downloaded by the U.S. Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Online Catalog.
