I have 2 pics taken by legalese77 on a dive in Belize on ARFCRUISE 08 that I'd like to enlarge and frame - but they're so hazy & the first pic is a bit out of focus I think.  Is there something you photoshop wizards can do to make them more suitable for enlarging?  As always, I appreciate any help.

Is that the full size of the original images?

The bottom one could be cleaned up some, the top one has what looks like motion blur and isn't going to get a whole lot better.

I'm  not really sure - whatever happens to pics when you load the original onto photobucket is what they are.  I didn't resize them or anything.  A member just sent me a message to e-mail him the originals so he could take a stab at them for me.  He must have seen whatever it is that you're seeing too.

Whenever you try to do something like this you need the maximum amount of image information to start with.  Image straight from the camera would give the best results.

Ruh roh - legalese77 has the camera.  He put all the pics on a DVD and sent it to me, I downloaded it and e-mailed it.   Prolly not much better than Photobucket huh?

Sure.  If the pics  on the DVD are straight from the camera and not processed/resized then you're good.

Just played with it for a couple of minutes.

Also very nice - blues are enhanced, the orange in the BCD not as much as the above shop, but it looked like the orange bled into the print elsewhere as well on that one.

Got rid of whatever those weird red artifacts were, but it's still not very good.

Figured I could put a little time into helping out. This is what I got without going totally nuts:





I reduced the noise first thing so the results are rather clear and vivid without jpg blocks. If there is something specifically wrong with them, let me know and I can do a quick touch up.
