Just converting the pic into B/W fixed the Yellow stains. Some cracks have been fixed as well.

Nice work. I love the way you accurately restored the roof base above.

Did you make the pic grainier on purpose?

Polarworc have your monitor calibrated? You said you just converted to B/W but i see it with a strong magenta tone.

Used unsharpen filter to bring out local contrast. Brought out some grain too, but if you zoom on face, the detail looks higher res.

I was just saying that converting the pic to B/W removed the yellow stains in the pic. I applied tinges through Levels adjustment layer, and probably overdid the Red channel.

This should take care of the reddish tinge.

Wow thank you guys they really look good. Up to like what size can it be printed?

The image itself is 56" X 42" at 72 Pixels per inch. However, 72 PPI is terrible resolution for printing. You would have to convert it into 300 DPI for a good quality print.

 

[Natalamo89]

Ok thank you so much.

 

[Natalamo89]

Sorry to bother u again but exactly how do I make the image a better quality? I would like at least an 8x10 can it be done in photoshop I have the program I just have no idea how to use it.

 

[polarwoc]

I know "a" method, but I am unsure if it is "the" correct method.

Open the JPG picture in PS
Go to Image>Image size...
Under "Resolution" you see 72 PPI.
Change this to 300 PPI.
Note that this would result in the file becoming about 600MB. Also note that is is easier for you to carry the JPG image to the printer and he would be able to change the resolution before printing.

 

[JJLAPIN]

Make sure you have Resample Unchecked when changing the Resolution to 300. Or it will be 600mb.

Here is a 8x10.

Here is another version. I did a lot of clean up in the background and ground area as well as removal of cracked sections.
