Can anyone help me replicate this?

Hey all,

Can anyone replicate this for me? I need it as large as possible, but as you can see the quality's bad. It doesn't need to be identical but as close as posisble :-)

I think it enlarged it. Duplicatd the layer and then guassian blurred the bottom layer. Then lowered the opacity of the top layer until image is soomth. ;)

You`re wellcome!
First save image as tiff, then resize it, change the mode to rgb.
Now use some filters like: Dust and Scratches, Despeckle, Paint Daubs, Gaussian Blur, Blur....I don`t really remember all, but the iddea is to play with the settings of those filters. :beer:

Thanks very much, I'm sure I'll have fun trying it out :)

Again, you`re wellcome. If you don`t really know Photoshop, the only way to achieve something is try, try and try again. So, keep working!

Of course, you may allways use tutorials...

well after you use a tutorial over and over, don't you in effect, learn that technique?
