Dunno where to begin...help!

[livelife]

Last summer, I got the chance to meet someone famous from a band while they were doing a reunion tour. Sadly, while the picture was being taken...my friend forgot to put flash and the surrounding dark background made it hard to restore some details in the photo. I've tried consulting some friends of mine who are talented with photoshop but they couldn't fix it. Could anyone give me some advice or attempt to help me fix this? I've tried everything...

Not easy to improve because of the amount of noise, but I've given it a try.

You posted this already and as I remember got a few replies with fixes.

Why the double post?
You joined in May and posted Here at that time. You got a few replies with help offered and you post again!!

I know that you cannot have forgotten about the first post as you went back to it yesterday and edited it I believe you removed the image link.

Consequently it looks like you joined just to get some free work done. I would be delighted to be proved wrong but..........

Anyway in the spirit of trying to be helpful your image looks like it was taken with a camera phone rather than a real camera and I am not aware of any phones that allow a seperate flash.

So the resulting image is so poor with so much missing information that it is unlikely that you will be able to achieve a decent result. If it is that important why not have a look on the classifieds here for someone who is prepared to take the work on - of course there is likely to be a fee
