This image is a digitally restored version of File:Inupiat Family from Noatak, Alaska, 1929, Edward S. Curtis.jpg to remove scratches, spots, artifacts, water or stains, hairs, and overall deterioration. Contrast was decreased. The image was cropped to remove the frame. Remaining edges were filled in or darkened with cloning, burn, and healing brushes. The image was not stretched, warped, or rotated as it was already straight during the scanning process. Restoration work was performed on the original TIFF file downloaded by the U.S. Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Online Catalog.

Licensing[edit]

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1952, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1963 and although there may or may not have been a copyright notice, the copyright was not renewed.

For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart.
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
