Good day to all!
I have a goal: restoration of an image, but i don't actually know how to do it or from what am i to start...

i have 2 versions of one image:
first is 720x304 pixels and it is colored; disadvantages: it's blured, noised and very dark
second is 512x220 pixels, the faces are more sharpen and detalized (but still far from ideal), light accents are good too, but it's almost grayscale and low-resolution

what is to be done:
the resulting image is to be enlarged (i think 720x304 is ok and it's the highest resolution seems one can get keeping the proportions - so the second images is to be enlarged)
then the overall image quality is to be impowred: lights and shadows, the image is to be clear - no blurs, noises or pixel squared
and after all the color is to be applied and corrected a little, i think

here are the images:

but it's a big problem to me since i'm almost a newbie in photoshop (i deiced to use photoshop because it seems to be the most powerful tool to process the images)
what i ask is to help me with this picture (i've much more, actually, but i think the other ones are to be processed by the analogy)
it's very important and urgen and i don't know where else i can ask for help...

thanks to all in any way!

but you've done great!

can you now describe How you did it? please!
(and about those lines at the boards of the image, can we get rid of them?)

Yer i jus sharpened and messed with the curves and saturation, nothing cmplicated. The lines on the top, i dont know what there caused by but if yiou like, a quick way to get rid of them would be to fill them in with balck narrowing the picture by 2 pixels max.
