Upscale, edit, and prepare a Japanese woodblock print for large-format fine art printing. Budget ± 200 USD. (*Please message and ask me to see the unscaled print). Final Output Specs - Size: 132x110cm - Resolution: 15600 × 13000 px at 300 DPI - Color: Adobe RGB 1998 - Format: Layered PSD, Print-ready TIFF’s Image Processing Requirements. - Museum-quality upscale - AI upscaling is encouraged - Manual refinement is mandatory - Preserve: Brush, paper and Ink texture etc - Avoid: Over-Sharpening, Plastic Smoothing, AI Hallucinations, Artificial vector look, overly modern appearance - The result must be visually identical to the original at normal viewing distance, with no stylistic reinterpretation and with only one intentional edit (see below) DETAILED REQUIREMENTS: 1. Regarding the paper border (very important): - The scan includes original paper borders, this must remain exactly the same in the upscaled version (including asymmetry) - These must be extracted into separate layers. - Layer 1: Original Paper texture/border - Layer 2: Artwork only (no paper) - The artwork layer and paper border layer must align perfectly when combined (pixel-perfect registration - This way I can either print the border or use real physical paper for the border instead if needed. - This means the text on the border must be on Layer 2. - Of course also add 3mm bleed, clean edges (no soft fade) - Do not crop, reframe, or alter the composition 2. Retouching & Clean Up: - Remove: Dust, Scan Artifacts, Discoloration (if not intentional) - Remove: AI Upscaling Artifacts, harsh lines, plastic smoothing etc - NO AI-artifacts in the flat color areas - Manual texture reconstruction where needed - Keep: Authentic aging (subtle) - Neon lines, water + fine details will need more careful manual refinement after upscaling 3. Custom Edit: - Replace the small star (top center-right building) with the letter “J” - Must match: Line thickness, slight irregularity, perspective angle, hand-drawn feel - The result must looks native to the original artwork Deliverables: - Layered PSD (with separated paper border + artwork, perfectly aligned) - Print ready TIFF (with original aged border) - Print ready TIFF (with clean white border: same proportions and asymmetry as original) - Upscaled master at full resolution *Before final delivery, provide a 100% zoom preview of detailed areas (bridge, neon signs + water reflection)

Hi there, I’ve carefully reviewed your project brief and understand that you need a museum-quality upscale and meticulous restoration of a Japanese woodblock print for large-format fine art printing, preserving every texture, brushstroke, and paper detail. The goal is a highly faithful reproduction at 132 × 110 cm (15600 × 13000 px, 300 DPI) with only one intentional edit the small star replaced by a “J” that matches the original line style and hand-drawn irregularity. My approach will combine AI-assisted upscaling for resolution while performing full manual refinement to remove dust, scan artifacts, and any upscaling irregularities, without introducing plastic smoothing or AI hallucinations. I’ll carefully preserve brush, ink, and paper textures, reconstruct subtle details where necessary, and keep the authentic aged look intact. The original paper border will be separated into its own layer, perfectly aligned with the artwork layer, and a 3 mm bleed will be added without cropping or reframing. PORTFOLIO: https://www.freelancer.com/u/AneesaIBA?w=f&ngsw-bypass= I will deliver a layered PSD with paper + artwork, print-ready TIFFs (with aged border and clean white border), and full-resolution master. Could you please share the unscaled scan so I can assess texture and detail before starting? Cheers, Rabia Shaikh

Hello, I can upscale and prepare your Japanese woodblock print to true museum-quality standards, preserving every brush, ink, and paper texture while ensuring the final files are fully print-ready at your required resolution and colour profile. I have experience handling high-resolution artwork processing with a hybrid approach—advanced AI upscaling combined with precise manual refinement—ensuring zero artifacts, no plastic smoothing, and complete preservation of the original character. I will carefully separate the paper border and artwork into perfectly aligned layers, maintain exact composition, and deliver clean, production-ready PSD and TIFF files with accurate bleed and colour settings (Adobe RGB 1998). The custom edit (replacing the star with “J”) will be done with a hand-drawn approach to match the original line quality, perspective, and natural imperfections—so it integrates seamlessly without looking altered. I can start immediately and will share 100% zoom previews of critical areas (bridge, neon signs, water reflections) before final delivery to ensure everything meets your expectations. Could you please share the unscaled print so I can review the details and confirm the fastest turnaround? Best regards, Kirandeep K. https://www.freelancer.com/u/CreativeDesign50

With extensive experience and a keen eye for detail, I can promise you an upscale of your Japanese woodblock print that remains faithful to its original beauty. My understanding of art preservation enables me to appreciate the subtle nuances that make a piece unique and valuable. You can trust me to manually refine every aspect of your artwork, using AI only where it truly enhances the final result. One particular requirement stands out in your project - preserving the paper border, including asymmetry. Having completed similar work in the past, I understand the importance of this element and will ensure that it is perfectly extracted into a separate layer along with the artwork, allowing you to retain the option of printing the border or using real physical paper for it. Regarding your custom edit: replacing the small star with the letter "J," I assure you that I can match the line thickness, slight irregularity, perspective angle, and hand-drawn feel exactly with an outcome that looks native to the original artwork. Expect not just a meticulously refined and upscaled Japanese woodblock print from me but also a seamless delivery experience consisting of layered PSDs, print-ready TIFFs at different proportions, and detailed zoom previews of crucial areas before final delivery. Thank you for considering my profile for this job.

Hi! I love how strict you are about preserving the original paper border and texture—that’s exactly what makes this kind of restoration convincing at large scale. I’ll upscale using a hybrid approach, then manually rebuild sensitive areas like water reflections and fine linework to avoid any AI artifacts or plastic smoothing. One key step I’ll take is separating the border using precise masking + edge reconstruction, so both layers align perfectly without soft transitions and stay print-accurate with bleed. Color will be managed in Adobe RGB (1998) from the start to avoid shifts in the final TIFFs. I’m available to begin immediately and can share detailed 100% previews within 48 hours. Send me the file and let’s get this museum-ready.
