TTQ B4U Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Send me the original. timothylauro@yahoo.com It's likely been compressed on photobucket. I'll see what I can do. What size were you thinking ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Not well enough for a print, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleaned up jpeg compression and artifacts from video/still capture.Balanced exposureWhite balance adjustedEnlarged for 4x6 print size Won't blow you away, but will print 4x6 now much better and cleaner than the original.

TTQ B4U Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 How does one go about undoing a lossy compression algorithm? You can't actually undo it but you can correct it. The first step in small images like this are to remove all artifacts aka JPEG "blocks" that ALL JPEGs exhibit to some degree. They just happen to be huge in this image which is common in still capture from video. You have to target it on individual color channels and then on the A&B channel in lab color mode. Once that's done you can apply other typical edits and adjustments. Finally, you finish with resizing it properly. Not just resampling or resizing the existing image but actually converting the pixels to vectors and then resizing it. This will eliminate any further jaggy edges. Again, this image was by no means easy as it lacks detail and is very low resolution, but it will print 4x6 for good memories and better than the original. Here it is with a little motion blur added. Not only helps the image but does help technically hide stuff too. However, I provided him with both a motion blurred version and non. The below is of course downsized to match the original and thus is not the print quality image or size. http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/140599230/large.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
