First of all, neither of these two attached photos was taken by me. A friend of mine sent them to me in the hopes I could improve the quality of the first photo. Due to my limited capabilities in PP I have been unable to accomplish this.
The first photo is the one that he wishes to improve and is a photo of the Destroyer Cogswell in Tokyo Bay in 1945. His brother was serving on the ship at the time. He sent the second photo to show how he wanted Mt Fuji, in the background, to look in the first picture. He wishes the mountain to be more distinct.
Any help you magicians in here can furnish would be greatly appreciated by both me and my friend. I have uploaded the photos as he gave me. If anyone is curious and googles the USS Cogswell you will find the ship had an interesting war history. Thanks for your time and consideration.

I downloaded the first one, but it's way to blurry to do much with it. Nothing is going to make it look much better..... Sorry.

Cannot even find that hull number other than civilian ship (1970) and a MSC cargo ship (1945) So this ship is older if we had the name we could likely find a picture of it!!!! (and use it as a 'better' result') :shock: :mrgreen: :-D

If your friend was a member of that ship he can sign-up here and possibly find some of his shipmates.

The photo is pretty challenging. I was able to remove some dust and scratches and sharpen it a tad.

Thanks for trying everyone, yeah I figured it was a tough one. I even tried to superimpose another photo of Fuji over the one on the picture but it looked horrible.

You definitely improved it, thanks. Do you think you, or anyone can somehow improve the mountain?
