I hear you. To quote my girlfriend: "Will you shut up now! I allready know they can't do that! You've said it a 100 times allready! It's just tv, you're ruining the whole show!! Shut up shut up shut up! And get me something to drink, I'm thirsty."
(some things may be exagerated )

From a PM:


You are correct. I had nothing to do with the photos. I would've definitely not let the moment slide without knowing I had a good photo. I don't even know what camera the person used (or who the 'photographer' actually was).

I'm thinking that, being a County government department, they had a cheap camera. They probably also had it set to the lowest resolution so that they could get more shots onto the memory card (not realizing the ramifications).

I'm not going to worry much more about the photos. I already told the person requesting help that their best, and only, hope was to simply reduce the pictures down before including them in the report.

Thanks to everyone for all the help and advice though. Moral of the story is to be sure they know how to use their camera before letting them take pictures.

Why you looking for work hot stuff?

I'M KIDDING (kinda)!

getting that small of an image into a printed piece is going to make it the size of the "emoticons"...

Good luck!

I fear for you

luckily I don't have anything to do with it other than advice on what can be done to the original pictures.

I gave it a shot and this is the best I could do... had to cut the size considerbaly and it's still not great....

I guess you aint really got much hope of sorting it out 100% I did have a go with the unsharpen filter and emboss but its no where near good enough for print sorry.




BTW it was an olypus C-1Z,D-150Z

Tofu, unless you're xeroxing your report, forget it.

I didn't know you worked up there!

I gave it a shot... I think I did quite good.


Not bad, huh?

Stage 2 ~

All you will get from the sharpening tools is a halo. and we would not want that

its wierd. That girl looks a lot, and I mean a lot like my sister's friend...Maybe I could take a picture of her, and kind of blend it into this one...oh, well. no camera
