Can non-HD pics be converted to HD? I have some non HD pics on my site which reviewers always rightly tell me need to be replaced with HD pics but one is of me in a uniform from many years ago and I have no uniforms anymore to take a new HD pic as I no longer get out in the field. Is there any way to convert my old pic of me in uniform to HD or something close to HD? Thanks.
Upscale + sharpen, of course :smilie4:
Upscale + sharpen. Wow. Was that supposed to help? Ever considered specificity? Like the name of the photo editing software to use and what option(s)?Quote:

in one simple word: NO
Cool, thanks for the straight answer. I did notice on YouTube that my non-HD video was uploaded and displayed by someone else this time as an HD video. Guess video can be converted to HD but not pics...weird as video is a sequence of many pics.Quote:

HD quality?? Using those words are loaded.. If you are happy with the finished product, i wouldn't care what it is called, as long as it is improved to your satisfaction, and you are happy with it..
If you live in Ontario Canada i can recommend a few photographers and they do a great job turning shit into gold...
PS. If you take a video that was not originally filmed in HD and you convert it ?? Do you really consider the finished product HD??:unsure:
No.
Quality once lost from any digital media can't be retained. But you can alter the photos in such a way that wouldn't look weired upscaled. The most simplest of the techniques would be to first upscale the pic to your desired resolution then apply the blur ( there are many types of blurring , you have to select the one that suits your pic) and finally alter the "levels" There are numerous scripts for Photoshop/GIMP to remove noise from the image (blurring) with tons of different settings. You must have the patience to find the right combination of settings for the script you use which would be specific to your image.
Also, a non-HD movie can't be transcoded into an HD movie, you can't bend the laws of the physics.
Hi David. There are some photo editing softwares which promises to convert normal images to HD images like PicSizer and some online tools. Though I have never used it myself, still I wish it would be helpful for you.
Good Luck.
