Hi, I checked the newspaper image you shared and it’s quite low resolution with visible noise and blur, so this will need a careful enhancement process to avoid artificial results. I’ll upscale the face area using AI to reach the 8x size, then manually refine it to reduce grain, restore edges, and bring back facial clarity without over sharpening. Since it’s a printed newspaper source, I’ll also clean the halftone texture so the final result looks smoother and more usable. The goal will be a sharper, clearer face while keeping it natural and not overly processed.

Hello, I can help you with this task, including enlarging the face up to 8x while preserving realistic detail and enhancing sharpness using AI-assisted upscaling combined with manual retouching to avoid the “over-smoothed” or artificial look that often happens with newspaper images. My approach would be to first clean and isolate the face, then apply high-quality upscaling (Topaz/AI SR or equivalent), followed by manual refinement in Photoshop to restore natural skin texture, correct artifacts, and ensure facial features remain accurate and consistent with the original image. Final output will be a high-resolution PNG optimized for clarity and print/web use. I have experience working with low-resolution archival and print-sourced images where maintaining identity accuracy and detail integrity is critical, especially in facial enhancement workflows. Please come over chat and discuss your requirement in a detailed way.
