  • I like all your vids but this one wasn't all that great. You're basically taking a blurry photo and sharpening it. It still looks like a blurry photo in the end. I usually just toss out blurry photos and I thought this might change my mind about that. Not really. Nice effort though. I'm sure some people might find this useful.

  • @Klif There's only so much you can do. You're right, usually tossing a blurry photo is the best thing. When you can't, this is as good as it gets.

  • hey can you help me out here??

    i got this really small picture but when i make it bigger it becomes all blurry how do i fix it

  • Hey soldier,

    That's a different matter, what happening there is that photoshop is having to literally guess the extra information of the image to make it bigger... there's really no way around the fact that images, when enlarged, become blurry. You can fix it somewhat, by follow the techniques of the video AFTER you've enlarged the image.

    Also, depending on your version of Photoshop, when you go to Image > Image Size, there's a combo box at the bottom, set it to Bicubic Smoother.

  • its anyway to fix very very blurry photos?? my cam is very low quality and the photos a

    re very blurry help me pls

  • Try altering the distance between the camera and the object. If it's always very blurry no matter the distance, then I'm afraid there's not much to be done. You can try to be more aggressive on the "High Pass" filter, but like I say on the video, it doesn't do miracles.

see all
