Any way to reverse effects?

you cannot undo if you do not have the original PSD.

Can I take this picture and "undo" the effects to make it normal looking again?

Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe undo wasn’t the right word I should have used. Are there any effects I can use to reverse what was done to it? Like maybe if I figure out what effects were used, maybe would that work?

what you are asking for is outside the bounds of possibility. stop watching blade runner repeatedly…

No need to be a smartass. It was just a question.

Well put Brownstown. But please …………you have to understand that Mr Chiselwitt believes himself to be a witty person …………. One day he will grasp the fact that he is only half right in that belief!

[re recovering a bas-relief image]

I think the image could theoretically be recovered almost perfectly. A bas-relief is sometimes created by subtracting an offset duplicate of the original image from the original. No important information is really destroyed by this process.

A bas relief is similar to a differentiated version of the original image. So a mathmatical process silimar to integration might well recover the original image data, plus or minus a constant value that would affect only the overall brightness of the image.

For example, an image that was consisted of a black square on a white field would make a bas relief of all zeros, with a plus and minus "pulse" at each edge. A running total of pixel values would re-create the square perfectly.

For now this will have to stay theoretical, since I can’t think of a way to easily do an integration in photoshop. I imagine the answer lies somewhere in a paper with a title like "Computational Approaches For Solving The Bas-Relief Ambiguity Under Orthographic Projection". —

Hmmm, Is there an acerbic wit within you Martin, struggling to show itself? I hope so.

Because if it should show itself I would enjoy taking you on in a battle of wits. However unless you show evidence of possessing such wit I’m afraid I can’t, because my principles won’t allow me to do battle with an unarmed combatant.

Now you are just talking bollox

Btw, this is the year 2003 , not 1870.

Do you wear a ruff? Scribble with a quill?
Oh, for witty reparte…. See u at dawn Mr. Newton

Martin, do you understand what ‘Non Sequitur’ means? No, course you don’t. Let me explain: Non Sequitur is Latin for "it does not follow." To say that an argument is a non sequitur is simply to say that the conclusion does not follow from the premises. This term would apply to any argument that has a conclusion that doesn’t follow from its premises.

Gottit? ….. Nah…. I don’t think so. Try this: ‘ Wot u rote don’t relate to wot I rote ‘ Gottit now? 😉

BTW I see that in the ‘Creating a Border’ thread ‘Whatchawant’ considers you to be a dimwit. Ignore him, you aren’t that bright.

Eventually you will know what I mean.

Know what I mean yet?
