I liked this guy so much - i decided to have a quick play to see if I could lift some extra details out with CS5. Sadly there is signigicant clipping - so most shadow details have been lost. In the end in CS5 I applied 'noise ninja' - adjusted the curves - and overlaid the pic with a 'high-pass' filter. The overall size of the pic was reduced. Does it improve the pic? Sadly, I don't think so - if the info isn't in the pixels, you can't recover it. But for your interest, given how cute this guy is here are the results.
But thanks for a good post m8 - I enjoyed myself with this one!
good try cleaning it up.Unfournatley i was not there and have to rely on others but if i was there would have been lots more photos and i feel confident in thinking if i asked he would do some poses for us. Perhaps siitting up standing etc..
