Hi !

I've attached an image, which is critical to improve. Give me suggestions or anyone can resotore or retouch it please submit back.

Thanks.

The picture is really too small to see much detail or see what it needs properly. At that size, it looks like a bit of sharpening and contrast would do the trick to improve it.

[philbach]

Well a larger file would be helpful. For information on how to post image attachments to this forum clickHERE .

I used levels adjustment layer in photoshop as well as screen blending modes on parts of the picture (face). Since it is quite blurry I sharpened the image as well.

[ashkumar]

Thank You ! I'm submitting Larger file for further improvement.

[Cassidy]

Well I adjusted the levels, did a little cloning mainly on the background, did a highpass layer and painted out the extraneous noise, adjusted the saturation, did a gaussian blur and then did another highpass overlay, once again painting out the extraneous noise. Image is still noisy, but has detail

[ashkumar]

I think we can do more work to make it eye looking image. If anyone make painting by photoshop please show me.

Ashkumar, we are a helping lot, not a freebie lot here. Hard to put back what is not present. Personally think your last comment is insulting and rude and presumptuous. I acknowledge we may be dealing with a language barrier here. If I was charging you, consider it as being $75

[ashkumar]

Don't angry with me. I'm also professional retoucher and know most of the possibilities but by above posting I want to know ending possibilites of this type of problematic images. Care my emotions, don't go professionally, hope for the +ve response.

Well then look within, and be satisfied, surely then you realise that is not what is there is hardly a given. Dont look like an imp with a limp, looking to survey the kind hearted, I already have a disabled child who knows how to milk the system for sympathy. For my bit, think I need to see some incentive from you, actually, thiink the $ component has struck a chord so far, sorry

[philbach]

Well I did the usual. I did replace the background. I did not do any eye work. I used a copy of the face selection using screen mode which helped and then used a levels adjustment layer.also neat image.

[ashkumar]

I'm attaching image which I've improved, hope for your opinions that I'm going right or not ? or where I'm missing.

Looking good Ashkumar.

Still looks a little blurry, so I took your version and converted to lab and ran the unsharp mask on the lightness layer which didn't seem to do too much, so I then converted back to rgb and ran a highpass filter on a duplicate layer in overlay mode.

Hello Ashkumar

I thought your version had too much saturation and not enough contrast. I also modified the mouth a little so it's closer to the original.

That's a good idea, but I think those replacement eyes need to be increased in size (the lips also look too small.)

had a go also...

I thought I would give this a try, After doing all the usual things, I added some noise and smudged and painted in overlay in some areas. It may be a bit dark, I find it hard to lighten without bringing back all the noise.

[Kraellin]

had another go at this one. this time i dodged the eyes and manually cleaned up some of the noise.

I think the eyes look too fake. That's my honest opinion.

[Kraellin]

i think the reason the eyes look 'fake' is that the sharpness of the eyes doesnt match the sharpness of the rest of the image. this is why i used the dodge tool on the whites of the eyes.
