I've been asked to try to create something out of essentially nothing. Specifically, to create a head shot similar to the ones I've done in the past (photo #1) using photo #2 which came from photo #3. There is no other picture of this Fireman and this one is not the greatest quality for what I need to do.
I'm trying out a trial of X9. Photo #4 is the result of the Magic Eraser, which I thought turned out pretty darn neat! But back to reality, the purpose of all this is that the Chief is making plaques with individual members' head shots. The one in question is now the oldest firefighter in the department so it's kind of a surprise. The group photo was taken by a professional photographer in 2011.
I really don't think that I can do much with it because the image, at 100%, is already pixelated. I know I am not proficient enough with this software or PhotoShop, etc., if it's even possible to clean up the image enough to enlarge it.
Do y'all have any suggestions? I'm to the point that I'm thinking he's just going to have to use the cropped image on the plaque. Even if I could remove the background, the image quality is so poor it wouldn't match any background into which I tried to place it.
Thanks for your help.
