How To Fix Blurry Photos In Photoshop
Hey everyone. In this video, I wanted to show you how you could sharpen an image that was shot a little bit out of focus. Now, if your picture is a lot out of focus, a lot more than the one you see here, there is really no good way to sharpen it. You could still do the techniques. I'm going to show you this video.
Well, it might look a little artificial. If the focus range is way off, but if it's a bit out of focus and you want to fix that and make it look sharp, I'm going to show you that right now. So a couple of different things I need to do to do this first. I'm just going to come over here double click on unlike this layer with my layer on locked, I could come up here to filter and I could go here sharpen and then I want to choose smart sharpen. I'm going to show you what else you need to do. This is not the only filter we're going to use, but we just want to do some subtle sharpening here. So this is where we started. So preview off, this is where we started in this case. I'll go to about one 50. That's about as sharp as we want to make it cause if you go all the way up, it's just going to look like a cartoon, basically starting to look like a painting. So I'll go back to about one 50. I'll press okay. Next, we want to duplicate this layer. So with this layer selected either control, click, or just right-click on here on a PC and go ahead and duplicate that layer is going to say, okay, now with this layer, we want to go to filter with the top layer selected, and now we want to come down to other and we want to do high pass and with a high pass, you should get this great effect here and we want to lower this to where we just lightly start to see the lines. So in this case, it's about two, but it really depends on the size of your image. So play around with it. This is at zero. We don't see anything. This is at 12. We see a lot.
So somewhere just where we start to see the lines. So about two here, I'm going to press, okay. Now, with this top layer, we want to change the blend mode. So we want to basically blend these lines onto our original image. So go to this image, blend mode up here with this layer, select that are over here, go to overlay, and that's really going to start sharpening the image even more.
So if I turn this on and off, you see in the eyes, especially this giving a lot more focus. If you want that to be even more subtle, go-to soft light, that's a little bit softer than overlay and if you go to hard light, it's going to be more significant. So now if you turn it on and off, that's the most significant you could even play with the opacity of the top layer.
If you want to decrease that amount at this top layer affects the bottom layer. So if you're out a hundred, it's the most amount of sharpening at zero is nothing and if you're a picture still looks soft again, go back to the original layer, go to filter and then go to sharpen and then do smart and a little bit more.
So now you could see, it looks like a painting here. If I go really high with that, so I could just reduce the noise and the radius and then mounts here. So I could just preview on and off. Not much is happening to increase the radius and that mounts on and off started looking a lot better breasts.
You just minimize that. So that's how you could start sharping an image again, if your image is too out of focus and this is not helping really, there is no way to fix that. You'll have to get that image again. Focus is just one of those things that there's only so much you could do in Photoshop to bring it back to life and if you can redo it, just play around with sharpening and putting the second layer on and playing with that as much as you can to make it look realistic.
