I need a miracle from you guys

[Conscript]

I will pay someone $10 via paypal (maybe more if they do a phenomenal job) if they can enchance a picture or two for me. By enchance I mean my digital camera screwed up and it come out blurry. I think/hope it may be salvagable. I need it to look good enough to print on at least 4x6 (its a 5 megapixel picture) so that it looks sharp enough to be presentable.

Here is the picture:

and here is a larger version (800x600, the real pic is bigger)

Forgot to mention, I will e-mail you the original 2MB+ picture (5 megapixel) to enchance to whoever gets this project.

Well I sharpened it a bit, but you should never forget the laws of conversion: Crap in = Crap out. There's only so much one can do.

Maybe pro5ject or someone more experienced can help u out more.

I had this problem before. Your pic is way too blur but when printed, it might look abit better.

[mmkmaste]

NOTE: THESE ARE VERY HIGH BANDWIDTH IMAGES!! if you have 56k, i wouldnt recommend viewing this. each img is from 1.5mb-6mb.

u shaved the guy in the pic, lol ;)

[Wojtek]

isnt he supposed to be bold? :p
I'll try to fix up his hair a little, hold on, heh

/actually no, I wont wase my time on his hair :p
I'll try the real pic instead

[Conscript]

Yey, so far so good guys. I like them both.

mmkmaste, If you soften up and erase some of the outline that shows up it would be even better.

I like Wojtek's work too.

You both get the prize.

[Wojtek]

did you print them conscript?
you still need the big big one right?

[Conscript]

I'm going to wait until you both optimize those pics (the 5 megapixel ones) before I print them. I printed the original on 4x6 with my 7960 HP Photo Printer and it looks semi-decent but still kind of blurry. Once I get both pics from you and mmkmaste I will print them both out as well.

I'd like to be able to show the pic to people without having to explain the digital camera problem. I'd also like to be able to use it on the internet on my website.

take a look at after2.jpg, i tried to optimize that one the most, if u want it even more optimized, just post here. ;)

Yeah, It's really good, but like I said there is a visible outline around the faces almost like a shadow. You see what I'm referring to? I'd like to get rid of that.
