Loved this so much so I removed the watermark. The date of this image is December 22 1977 in Inglewood California Definitely not December 22nd. If it's even the same venue (which it might be), this is either March 2nd or March 3rd. I agree, I was definitely having second thoughts at the date as no picture from 12/22 has Freddie wearing that leotard from my digging |

While all these photos are quite stunning, I feel rather uneasy with people removing watermarks from photos – not watermarks like MustaphaLover69 or whatever, get rid of that shit, but I mean from Getty and other stock websites. That's essentially the same as pirating music, and I know there's that whole argument that "oh it's out there on the Internet, anyone can use it" (that's bullshit), but a person took that photo, and they should be compensated for it, regardless of how much they may get.
Also, people who "upscale"... it's not working. Good effort, but you can't turn a low-res image into a high-res one just by adding "AI".

Everyone I see who uses an "upscaler" uses "Remini", which is a "meh..." enhancer. I've tried it before, and it looks terrible for lower quality pictures (with higher quality pictures looking decent). I posted my attempt at it earlier in this thread, and I'll find it. Edit: Here's what it did with the Yamaguchi 1979 pic.  |

Even though I posted an AI picture earlier, I'm just going to be plain out honest that most screw up such as this one, making the picture way too smooth with smudges:  |
