Hyper-Realistic Portrait Recreation

I have a single, scan of an old painted portrait of my grandpa, and I want to see it remake as a photorealistic digital image—something that looks as though it was captured with a modern camera. The goal is strict fidelity: facial expression and original colour tones must remain intact, with no decorative additions or background changes. Think of it as pixel-level restoration, not reinvention.

You’ll receive the scan and any reference notes you need from me. Work in the software you know best—Photoshop, Procreate, Corel Painter, Adobe illustrator—so long as the finished piece is razor-sharp and print-ready.

Deliverables
• A layered PSD showing your full process
• A flattened, 300-DPI RGB TIFF or PNG ready for large-format printing

Acceptance criteria
• Expression, proportions, and palette match the reference exactly
• Subtle colour correction only where required for realism; no saturation shifts
• No new elements introduced

Send a brief note and samples of comparable photorealistic portraits you’ve completed. I look forward to giving this cherished painting a lifelike new life.
