This photo of the Mona Lisa was posted on This is Colossal. It looked dark so I made a copy and applied the Photo Tools > Brightness Levels Dialog > Auto and the restored masterpiece is on the right half.
No need to thank me Signore da Vinci.

And with a few additional tweaks.
Great job Gary.
She scrubs up nicely!
Nice work!
I was at the Louvre in 2014 to see something else but happened to go past the painting. It was crazy, all the people taking selfies. It’s installed behind bulletproof glass which might account for the original darker image.
Here’s a snap I took as I skirted around the mayhem.

My wife and I saw the painting in the 80s when we went to Paris and it was behind glass at that time. There are so many better paintings in the world. We were so impressed by this portrait by Vigée le Brun who really captures feminine beauty and softness. The Mona Lisa is hard and androgynous.
I agree there are so many more interesting and thought provoking portrait paintings around the world. Of course art is subjective but It’s fascinating why the Mona Lisa remains so popular. Must be the lack of eyebrows!
Thanks for the ‘Joy of museums’ link. I'm just going around the Art Institute of Chicago at the moment to find Grant Wood’s ‘American Gothic’ (without the crowds!).
Here's an issue I can't find a solution for. The attached xar file previews as expected in a local browser but if I publish it to my server it no longer displays as expected. Any one have any idea why?
Egg, yo0u have mixed secure and insecure resources. Try changing <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script> to https. Try with a later jQuery version too.Quote:
