[confused]
I can't get this thing looking good. Is there anything that I can do? I know it is a bad-quality photo but I have to get it looking somewhat decent; better than it is now for the most part.

uhuh.... color retouch...... not so good at it ;\...... but I'll give it a try, Al.....

In the meantime, try experiment with color adjusting each of the 3 channels of RGB in the channels pallete. That's what I'd usually go for first.

Business at hand first...... devastation later.....



errrrr..... I don't know.... what do you think? 8}.... Color replacement was'nt one of my best.

I had to use / play around with the channel Mixer, Colorr Replacement and Selective Color Controls. I concentrated on the yellow tint first to replace it with a brown tint and then replaced a blue tint that appeared most especially in the shadows.

After which I used variation.......

I give myself 5 for this..... maybe even lower.? 8))?

I believe that the color here is better, but one thing that I'm really stuck on is how bad the photo quality is. It's grainy and pixelated and I would like to fix that without resizing it to the point of nondistinctability (what a word [stuned] )

OK ..... I'll see what I can do with it.......

Pretty messed up photograph. You can take yellow out and maybe slightly do a 'median' blur on the blue channel to get rid of some jpeg artifacts, but that's about it. All the rest is just a lot of work to improve the image just a tiny bit. I would suggest to swallow and move on Al.
