Hello, This is a design I am triying to repair in photoshop. I am sending a 200% view. As you see it needs sharpening and restore the blue color, with dots and uneven

is there a way or filter to make the blue color more even without loosing the tonal range?. Raising the levels solves the problem but I get a darker blue

What would the best way or filter to sharpen this? again without loosing the tonal ranges

cheers

It needs 'sharpening' because you have blown the pixels.
 
So, what do you mean by that? I dont have to sharpen this because you dont see the point? the question about making the color more even does no count? sending a 200 % view to appreciate that better is pointless? The fact that I know this desing has a downgrade in quality from the original for several reasons, and the fact that I would like to restore that, is not enought to post a question here?

Please, send me an answer because I dont know what to think

Nope that is not what he was saying at all. He was saying because you have zoomed in and enlarged it so much the pixels are over stretched therefore loosing the quality. Hence the wording blown.

Is this part of a bigger picture because it would be very easy to reproduce if that is all it is.
 
If there's some reason why you have to use the original image rather than recreating it, the Surface Blur filter would at least even out some of the blotchy color without further blurring the edges. : \
 
FWIW, the word, "blown", when used in photography discussions almost always means overexposed, not over-magnified. I suspect this may be the cause of the confusion.

I dont understand why you wouldnt just do this over from scratch. Color dropper used for the correct colors. And shape/fill tools for the rest. This seemed like a no-brainer for me.
 
Thanks for the answers, I dont have the original elements to start from the scratch anymore, this photo is only the edge, there is a design in the middle of the composition with drawings etc. and I dont have those anymore
 
Sorry Tom i disagree my wording is what it is 'blown' to me means overdone/blurred out.
 
Ahh, Paul, you are right - there are two meanings & I think we're getting to the root of the difference:

You were thinking "blown", as in, "this area of the picture was blown up" (ie, magnified), whereas I was thinking "blown", as in, "these pixels were blown" (as in overexposed).

It might even be that in your part of the world, one doesn't specifically have to add the word, "up", to the phrase to mean magnified, in which case one would have to look at the context very carefully to figure out what was meant.

This reminds me of the analogous problem with the use of the word, "resolution" in digital image processing -- sometimes it means ppi, sometimes it means pixel dimensions. :-)

Cheers,

That is why I teach, over and under exposed, and enlarged or reduced image.

yes of course I have blown it a few times.......:banghead:

just too many different thoughts.....
