HOW TO MAKE NON-HQ PIC INTO HQ PIC

dedicated to: wolveswifeu regarding to her question.

foreword: some people have problem with changing non high quality picture into the high quality one, ikr. me too tbh, sometimes i still have that problem. but i'm here just wanted to share how i make the non-hq pic into hq pic with my own way. it might not helping at all, but i'm trying T_T hope it's helpful.

001. make a new canvas with a higher resolution (maybe 100+) open the picture and move to the canvas. (i used luhan's picture)

002. make the size bigger. when the size is bigger, the picture will look like noisy/broken, and being like a non high quality picture. (lol. what's the right word for this?) this canvas has been zoomed 200% to show you the broken/noisy part.

003. the first step to make it not broken/noisy or in another word, make it high-quality is turn down the brightness/exposure. (exposure: gamma correction to the right, arrange the pointer until his skin changed into dark brown.)

004. the second step is the brightness. make it more bright. tada, the broken/noisy part will got better than before. this is the result:

additional steps for more hq pic:

use topaz plugin (you can download and search for it on google)

005. use topaz clean and choose crisp style.

006. arrange the accent tool into '2'

007. click ok. 

008. add exposure again (move gamma correction to the right)

009. and the result will be like this:

before:

after brightness:

after topaz+exposure:

hope this simple tips would be helpful.
