Maybe grassian blur it (just a tiny little blur), play around with brightness/contrast or curves

not very with low quality images, I mostly only use images that I rendered, which are all high quality... lol

yeah

gaussian blur - set it to soft light

actually what I do with low quality images is 'gausian blur' at '3px' and fade (Ctrl+Shift+F) on 'hard light'

But I guess you already got the gausian blur idea lol
