This needed quite a bit of work, and perhaps still needs more. After a small amount of rotation, and a tiny amount of cropping, , it needed some significant addition to the top of the picture, such as the greyish part of the building and the top of the picture of Mao. The latter was cloned from the bottom frame, then the rest was tidied using the clone tool too. The worst highlights in the cycle behind the soldier were toned down using the clone tool and contrast/brightness. The intrusion of a sign on the top left was removed using the clone tool. Then it needed levels & curves to improve the tonal range, and variations & colour balance to improve the colour balance. Then the web version was sharpened using "unsharp mask".
Image size - rotate (a few degrees), crop, image & canvas size.
Image adjustment - levels, curves, variations, contrast/brightness, colour balance, clone tool.
Presentation features - stroke (for print border), automate - fit image, save as JPEG.
In mid-January 2002, for the web version only - "unsharp mask" managed in layers created for the purpose.
Layers. Filters. Over 90% of the tools.
But in mid-January 2002, I started to use "unsharp mask" in layers to sharpen the web image.
