Hi all,



I am not good with Photoshop and got a bad image of myself. Could people try to fix this and make it look good at the same size that it is?
The jpg can be found at:

Also, could you tell me the steps in what you did so I can try on some other photos taken at the same time?

Thanks again!
My email is timmerk AT overridedesign DOT com

The photo is out of focus. Isn't much you can do about that. :/
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

Are you going to be printing it or using it for web presentation?

Apparently there's a technique which uses ray-tracing to trace the pixels back to the (virtual) camera, then alters the focus and re-draws the image... but I think it needs a G5 cluster to get the speed down to realistic levels!

What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.
