Hey Everyone!

Can someone edit the Sky over this house so it looks blue and sunny. That would be amazing!

Thank you for all of your help!

Do you have a copy of the image before you added the logo?

Here's my attempt.

Wow you guys never cease to amaze me. This is awesome. Makes the picture 100x better. You are all magicians.

@Rich54 Hey while I have your ear for a minute. Can you give me some feedback on how I might be able to get this picture to a pixel size range somewhere around 3450x2300. I need the file to be between 2-3mb (apparently the 5-6mb range is ideal) so that the clarity of a print will be professional. I saw that photoshop has an add-on called "Perfect Resize" that uses Fractal Interpolation to maintain clarity at larger sizes. Is this something you are familiar with?

I know. On1 PhotoRaw 2018.5 offers a free trial to use it. I was more just using that as a reference though that it can be done. Are there other ways that it can be done?

There are quite a few programs that can achieve a fair result, none of them free but mostly with 30 days (or less and watermarked) trial.
Just keep in mind that those programs are 'guessing' the missing pixels...

Yes I know Im just not sure what to do because we have .JPEG files of images of varying sizes and we want to blow the images up into 20x30 pictures for the front office but Costco said they need to be somewhere around 3450x2300 with a minimum file size of 3mb, preferably more. Do you know of a better way to go about this?

 

[Eggy]

I'll test the PS possibilities tomorrow (using my tablet now) but don't hold your breath...

 

[Rich54]

I'll defer to Eggy. Image resolution for print is not my area of expertise.

I used the build-in feature resize in Photoshop:

Using Image/Image size/resolution to 300 and then size 3450 px X 2588 px (keep ratio locked) /preserve details 2.0 and reduce noise 100 %.

turning the picture from 1024 X 768 px to 3450 X 2588 px - 867 Kb to 4,37 MB
The result is fair...
