One of the reasons that the Lenna pictures got traction was that it is a good test image because of its detail, flat regions, shading, and texture." [1], something to keep in mind when looking for a replacement. A human face would be good, with hair, and some textured background - no need to be the picture of a woman. For example in [2] a picture of Fabio Lanzoni was used (However, since they specifically acknowledge Mr Lanzoni and his agent, I guess they also got a special permission for their publication). Well, to get such a picture with the proper distribution rights we could call out for a "Lenna replacement photo competition" at DebConf :) Best, Gert [1] https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~chuck/lennapg/editor.html [2] http://arxiv.org/abs/1202.6429
