Other versions Image:Seattle - Moore Theatre - early vaudeville poster - raw.jpg is my raw photo of the poster. Image:Seattle - Moore Theatre - early vaudeville poster.jpg is significantly retouched (mainly to compensate for the distortion caused by the angle of the photo, which was selected to minimize reflections). Image:Seattle - Moore Theatre - early vaudeville poster - A.jpg is further retouched, both to minimize the few reflections and to fine-tune for deformation.
