Difficult photo 2

grandad · May 3, 2004

Hi folks. I have thios phot, taken of a young girl in the most tragic circumstances. Sadly her parents used a cheap digital cam and the resulting photo is shot to pixels. Does anyone know of a way to overcome this extreme pixelisation. The photo of 'Samara' can be seen on the following archive. http://grandads.instantlogic.com/PhotoGallery_Browse.ilx?idAlbum=%7b8982514B-FB3A-47AD-A3E8-C4067ADFF231%7d Many thanks for any help anyone might be able to give. Walt.

Is this any help?

Or this. The only real way I can find to lose the junk is to apply a texture and this is the lightest I can find. Do say if these won't do. I'm sure people here will be able to do something for these parents.

I don't know how to do it in PS but in Corel 8 you can resample and maintain the actual size of the photo.

I would try resampling to 600 perhaps 1200 DPI to smooth out some curves.

You might not gain much but it's worth a try.

Thought of one other thing but this is the best I can contrive. But Ican't help thinking that more could be done. I'm sure others better qualified will have a go.

is that the original or a blown up version? Maybe you can take a larger picture of the orginal. If there is nothing to work with there isn't much that can be done. Perhaps put her face from another picture on this one.

You certainly lost the jaggies, Kent. I didn't seem able to do so at all. Must take a look at this JPEG enhancer.

Put it on full 'dejag'. Don't use it much yet. I only got it becuase feivel did, now he's not around as much

actually :-( Although if someone had a restoration project, it may come in handy. I like your first take better on this one. Mine needs more contrast.
