I wonder who makes all those overcontrasted bad scanns of these pics, and why he cant notice that thay arent looking good when its's too bright.

It's like saying "like them? wanna see good vers? Buy them."
Like with some of the HM@ pics that say "sample" on them.
Either that or its some kind of cruel joke. -__-

I think the guy just has a really bad dark monitor. It looks nicer to him, I guess ?

Maybe I can try to fix the problem. It aint my scan, but I can make the pic higher quality

No mimi, you can't.
By resizing a small image of poor quality into a much larger image, you are not improving upon anything. The flaws of the smaller image just gets enlarged.

There are other ways to improve the quality; if she knows what she's doing then she can indeed improve the quality. I've worked with a couple of people who did that kind of thing.

But you could edit the saturation on Photoshop.
It won't be perfect, but it will be way less blinding.

As a graphics professional who has worked in the field for over 15 years, I can tell you that there's no saving this picture. Editing the saturation or other parameters will have no bearing here because this scan is *missing image data* in those bright areas.
There's no going back. You can't add resolution or quality by editing this in photoshop or any other image editing software.

The sooner people stop believing what they see in Hollywood movies being real, such as magical zoom cameras that can zoom in endlessly without losing detail, or fantastic enhance features in photoshop, the better. You can't get something from nothing.

If he wanted you to buy the photos, he just wouldn't upload them in the first place. Uploading huge scans with ridiculous contrast ratios is just this guy’s “thing”. It seems to be many people's "thing," sadly...
Scanning something well is, in many ways, an art. As far as getting a great looking image goes, a great scan is much more important than any Photoshop tricks you could possibly possess.

I'm not arguing that a better source (scan, in this case) is a much more important and a better way to start, of course. But photo touch-up artists have been around for years, this isn't anything new.

From another picture comments:
[agrayrainbow] "it's obviously not him doing it, because not all the pictures he uploads are like that. maybe because it was like that from the uploader?"
Probably something's wrong with shante's way of downloading *some* pics.
