I finally caught my son on a clean break-away tonight, but the frame that matters is soft and unusable as-is. I’m looking for a skilled retoucher who can bring back the sharpness without introducing artificial elements. You’ll receive the blurry hero shot along with several clear action shots of him from the same game so you can reference facial details, jersey texture, and colours while repairing the motion blur. Once the main image looks crisp and natural, please crop a square 1:1 version ready for a custom trading card (think 2.5"×3.5" at 300 dpi, bleed and safe zones intact). Key points I care about: • Restore sharpness first; gentle colour balancing is fine if it helps realism. • No invented logos, text, or random players creeping in—everything should match the reference photos. • Deliver the full-resolution restored image plus the card-ready crop in JPEG (sRGB) and a layered PSD or TIFF so I can tweak later if needed. If you’re comfortable with Photoshop, Topaz Sharpen AI, or similar tools and have experience rescuing motion-blurred sports shots, I’d love to see what you can do.

Hello, This is not an AI bid; this is a self response. Your hockey breakaway hero shot deserves a natural rescue, and I’m confident I can restore its clarity while preserving the authentic moment. I’ll use Adobe Photoshop to carefully reduce motion blur, reference the supplied action photos for facial details, jersey texture, and colors, then apply restrained tonal balancing without inventing logos, text, or players. I’ll also prepare the 1:1 trading-card crop at 300 dpi with bleed and safe zones, delivering full-resolution JPEGs in sRGB plus an editable layered PSD or TIFF. I can provide an initial restoration for review within 1-2 days, then refine it based on your feedback. Would you like the final square crop to prioritize the player’s face, stick, or the full breakaway composition within the trading-card safe zone? Best regards, Sahil

That hero break-away frame sounds worth saving, and the extra reference shots from the same game make a big difference for restoring it naturally. Motion blur can be reduced while keeping facial detail, jersey texture, colours, and the overall scene true to the original, without fake logos or invented elements. The final delivery can include the full-resolution restored image, a 1:1 trading-card crop prepared for 2.5 × 3.5 at 300 dpi with safe layout in mind, plus JPEG sRGB and layered PSD or TIFF files.

Hello, I can restore your hockey action shot by carefully reducing motion blur, rebuilding facial and jersey detail from the reference photos, and keeping the result natural with no invented elements. I’ll then create a square 1:1 crop for the trading card layout, preserving bleed and safe zones, and make sure the final image is clean, crisp, and print-ready. I’ll work in Photoshop with non-destructive retouching and, where helpful, use sharpening tools like Topaz Sharpen AI to recover detail without overprocessing. You’ll receive the full-resolution restored image and the card-ready crop in JPEG (sRGB), plus a layered PSD or TIFF for future edits.

Hi there, I have read and understood the project details. You need the blurry breakaway shot carefully restored using the clear game photos as references, while keeping your son’s real facial features, jersey details, colours and the original scene completely authentic. I’d use Photoshop with professional sharpening/deblurring techniques, using the reference shots to guide facial and jersey detail without inventing logos, text or other elements. I’ll keep the restoration natural rather than over-sharpened, then prepare the 1:1 trading-card crop at 300 DPI with the required bleed and safe zones. You’ll receive the full-resolution restored image plus JPEG and layered PSD/TIFF files in sRGB. Could you share the original blurry photo and the clear reference shots so I can assess the motion blur and confirm how much detail can be recovered naturally? ✅ PORTFOLIO: https://www.freelancer.com/u/AneesaIBA/Graphics-Animation I’m ready to handle the restoration, colour balancing, card-ready crop and final quality checks while keeping the original image authentic. Cheers, Rabia Shaikh
