Professional Portrait Upscale and Refinement
Budget: $10 – $30 AUD
I have a single portrait of myself that I’d like to feature in my professional portfolio, but the only copy I have is a tight crop—once you zoom in it turns soft, blurry, and pixel-heavy. I need the image carefully upscaled to a high-resolution version that still looks like a true photograph, not an over-filtered illustration.
The priority is the face and skin: pores, hair strands, eye clarity, and natural complexion should look sharp and lifelike without introducing artificial smoothness or plastic sheen. The background can stay understated; subtle noise reduction there is fine as long as it doesn’t draw attention away from the subject.
Deliverables
• A high-resolution PNG and a web-ready JPEG of the restored portrait
• A brief note on the restoration steps or tools used (e.g., Photoshop, Gigapixel AI, Lightroom) so I understand the workflow for future reference
Please keep the color profile intact, match original lighting, and avoid stylistic changes. If you can show me a quick low-res preview before final export, that would be ideal to ensure the look stays natural and realistic.
