Today I will be teaching you how to turn any photo on the web (Even low quality) into what I call EQ, or, Extreme Quality.
Step one: Find an image
I picked this one.

Select the main layer, go to filter> noise> reduce noise
Settings: Spoiler (Click to View)
Step four: Duplicate the image 3 times

Step five: Make the top layer black and white
Go to image> adjustments> black and white
Settings:
-Soft light
-Set this layers opacity to 50%
Step six: Gaussian Blur
Select the next layer and go to Filter> Gaussian blur
Settings:
-Radius to 3 pixels
-Soft light

Step 7: High Pass
Select the last extra layer and go to Filter> High Pass
Settings:
-Radius to 10
-Soft light
-Set this layers opacity to 50%
(optional) Step 8: HDR Toning
Go to Image> Adjustments> HDR Toning
Select yes to flatten image
Then change method to, Exposure and Gamma.
Step 8 or 9: Saving
Now that we have done all this work, we need to export it with max quality. To do this go to File> Save as web and device
Settings to change:
-PNG 24
-Percent 100
-Quality: Bicupic Smoother
Then click save and enjoy your [EQ] Extreme Quality picture!
