I have an old college-ID card from three decades ago. The photo is still one of my favorites, but the card’s watermark and low resolution make it unusable for display. I’d like you to isolate that head-shot, restore it cleanly, upscale it, and place me in a classic graduation setting. Here’s what I already know I want: • The background should feel like the timeless studio shots you see in commencement programs—neutral backdrop, soft lighting, and nothing too busy. • Please add a traditional cap and gown. I’ll send an example so you can match the fabric color and trim precisely. • No diploma or stage elements are needed unless you believe a subtle prop improves the composition; if you do add anything, let me preview it before finalizing. Acceptance criteria and hand-off: • Watermark completely removed with no visible artifacts when inspected at 200 %. • Final portrait delivered at 300 dpi, at least 3000 px on the long edge, in both PNG and high-quality JPG. • One layered PSD (or Affinity/Procreate file) showing background, subject, and any added items on separate layers for future tweaks. If you use tools like Photoshop, Topaz Gigapixel, or similar AI upscalers, please keep the layers non-destructive so I can see the workflow. Looking forward to seeing that old snapshot turned into a frame-worthy graduation portrait!

Hi there, I went through your project carefully, and the core challenge is clear: transforming your cherished photo into a stunning graduation portrait while preserving the original's integrity. This isn’t a surface-level task , it needs someone who understands photo editing techniques and can execute without hand-holding. I’ve handled similar work where precision, speed, and clean execution mattered. My approach is straightforward: I will isolate the headshot, restore it to remove the watermark and enhance resolution, and place you in a classic graduation setting that captures the timeless look you desire. I’ll keep all layers non-destructive in Photoshop, allowing for easy adjustments. If this aligns, I can start immediately and deliver the final portrait at 300 dpi and 3000 px long edge for ultimate clarity. One quick question before I proceed: can you share the example of the cap and gown fabric you’d like me to match? Best regards, Muskan
