Not the possibility of any photo.

I'm guessing since she likes the photo, she's not dead.

Run thru Topaz AI and save as a TIFF. In LRC or PS isolate and replace background.
30 minutes should clean it up.

This photo is a real mess.
Fooled around forawhile, needs a lot more time to get decent, but for now, this is what I got.


Hi BigDaddy: Of the efforts made in response to this post, yours is by far the best to my eye. Really nice work! I think Alemorkam should grab it, give you enormous thanks, and run. Really very impressive. I've got a few I should send you. Richard (nervous2)

My Mind's Eye - Bill Harbison, I thought your work looked very good and used it to save me a lot of time on my try. I know it is not great but had fun trying. I think your work and mind did help the photo alot.


I forgot to send my retouch attempt so I will now

I would try the Photoshop healing tool close up. It would be tedious work, but it wouldn't take hours.


The new AI remove tool can do it pretty quickly. It’ll still be a very low quality photo.

There is very little to work with and what there is of it is in quite poor condition. This leaves little else but one's imagination and boy, do I have a vivid imagination. A bit of this, a bit of that with a few dashes of Voodoo, and this is what came of it.

This is what happens when one has nothing to do and they have all day to do it.

Okay....Not as much Voodoo nor imagination over the edge on this one, however, this is as close to resembling the source image as I could get.


Is this her brother in drag?

OOPS! I see some more I could have done. I should have enlarged it to see those things.


By far the best of the bunch. The neck area could use more work, but at least yours doesn’t look like a disembodied head stuck on a cartoon neck. It looks like some people did an entire replacement of the neck with a flat color. The only way to do it right is to zoom way in and deal with every line individually.

Where did you read SHE asked for it?

This might determine why this picture is important to 'someone'.


From the OP
"It's a driver license photo she likes of herself."

15 minutes to edit...
I do see this is a photo taken of a passport or other government ID photo. Hopefully I didn't help this person create a new falsified document.

Or a passport photo. It appears to have been designed to NOT be reproduced easily.

Thanks Richard. This photo is a real mess, and a challenge to say the least. I wonder if it's real in that I've never seen a pic so messed up.

Anyway, my edit needs some work from the neck up, not a lot and certainly doable. From the neck down, the skin needs completely replaced with some texture, and the sweater work I did is horrible. Not sure how I would attack those issues, so I didn't.

I should have used the original background. I had cleaned the background up to about where MCHUGH has it but couldn't resist replacing it, and I really didn't like what I did there. So far, I don't think anyone did a great job, which is understandable because to get it decent would require a lot of time, effort and skill. Not many, if anyone wants to spend a lot of time on this. Most quit after 15-30 minutes, not enough for this task.
