I got it to work !!!! The bottom picture is the original size, click it twice, then click the top one twice.

First post howdy everybody. BilltheGD, I'm in the process of sharpening and clarifying your recently posted high resolution images of the original VIP awning photograph in Photoshop CS5.5 Camera Raw 6.3 and I was wondering if you might know, or have come across in your acquisition of said photograph, the type of camera (and lens, should hell freeze over) which captured this image. If i can find out what type of camera and lens were used to take this photo I can digitally correct for artifacts and distortion created by camera itself, which may provide greater sharpness to the image. PM me with the aforementioned information if you have it... actually upon further consideration, post it directly to this forum so as to make it impossible for certain unnamed parties, to misinterpret or misrepresent my image modification for their own inane ends (How and why they might achieve this end with this image I have no idea, but I hope to curb any attempt). I will PM you the images prior to my posting them here. Thank you for your willingness to share your experience, as well as the temporal dedication to the research necessary to the pursuit of these images and their disclosure.

In addition should you know, or be capable of, finding out the make and model of each of the cameras in both the stills captured from video as well as the conventional photographs; I may be able to adjust the levels in PS to add clarity to details in question.

If you don't know, I will do my best to get the best image quality possible out of these pictures despite lacking the lens correction.

Just to head off trolls, yes I know there is no SLR raw file with this image, but lens and camera correction do work to a lesser extent in a JPEG.

Try this again, I had it retouched some, but not by me. I suck at this shit.

I honestly have no clue what kind it was, but I greatly appreciate the fact that you are willing to take the time and effort to do all of this. You wont hear me complain about it.

Not sure if it will help or not, but I am pretty sure the same person took both of these photos.
They were both taken from the Northern most footbridge that went across the West Side Highway over to the World Financial Center.

[Billthegravedigger]

Can you even tell a frigging difference in the two pictures ?

[tatumthunderlips]

Slightly different, colors are over-saturated for emphasis.

[Billthegravedigger]

Looks a lot better to me, things stand out clearer, the details are crisp, damn good job. Thanks.

The awning with adjusted levels, the validity of your assertion that the black and white object to the lower left of the stage is a golf cart seems apparent.

As does the editing out of gibs on the stage floor with photoshop or an analogous program.

[Billthegravedigger]

Thank you, you got it looking much better than I could.
