There are some good larger images of Harper online (i.e. St. Louis, New York) and I don't think the attached Cincy enhancement looks all that much like them. On the other hand, compared to the original Reds team photo, it's a plausible result.
Also, cap and jersey pinstripes didn't survive the enlargement. It could probably be faked with some more Photoshopping but I got lazy.  |
The Harper image looks outstanding to me and as far as being a likeness appears to closely match another 1924 image of him in the uniform of the Phillies.
This image with the Philadelphia Athletics, attached, does date from 1924 but is not of the same quality of earlier images of Bob Hasty so I don't have great expectations in terms of the outcome compared to what would be the result from those earlier examples.
