  • Comment – Looks promotional = boring. – Sca (talk) 12:24, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – Promotional then, but historical now, EV is good enough for me. However, I'd only support Alt 1 (the edited version) shown lower down on the file's page, fingerprints & dust removed (from a 35 mm slide, I presume). --Janke | Talk 12:30, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Added as Alt 1. Inclined to agree this is superior - the proposed version crops off part of the subject, for a start. TSP (talk) 13:17, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • One little tweak would be nice; The color is a bit wrong in the alt, the Mac looks brownish gray. The original Mac had a slightly yellowish hue, which is much better in the original. --Janke | Talk 16:22, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        •  Comment: If this photo was published with good reproduction at the time? If so period magazine/promotional material may help guide to original color details. -- Infrogmation (talk) 16:33, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • If necessary, I could try doing a color tweak - I know the color exactly, since I still own an original Mac 512K... EDIT: Done. --Janke | Talk 09:12, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Alt 1. (I uploaded the first version; I only cropped the non-photographic border and did a rough levels adjust to be closer to what looked more natural to me - I just wanted to get a usable version of Commons promptly after I became aware of this free licensed photo was available.) I'm glad to see this photo getting the attention to restoration by others more skilled with photoshop than I. -- Infrogmation (talk) 16:24, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support alt 1 per Janke. Nosferattus (talk) 20:26, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update - I uploaded a color-corrected Alt 1, over the old one. Now the color of the Mac looks like the original. --Janke | Talk 09:35, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support ALT 1 – A bit concerned about the Encyclopedic Value; the image is used in just one article, that too is decorative. I'm open to reconsider, just ping me. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 15:10, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – This posed and predictable composition doesn't meet Criterion 3, IMO. – Sca (talk) 15:29, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support alt 1. MER-C 13:54, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support alt 1 – Bammesk (talk) 16:10, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support alt 1 --Petar Milošević (talk) 12:27, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support alt 1 - what once was promotional is historic now. Artem.G (talk) 07:06, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
