How to Reduce a Blurred Photo With Photoshop CS3

Fix blurry photos with Photoshop CS3.

Photoshop CS3 is a continuation of Adobe's flagship software title used to create image effects and photo enhancement. Photoshop is the choice of professionals who work as graphic designers that create complex and sophisticated images by combining photo and graphical elements. Photographers and touch-up artists also use Photoshop to greatly improve raw photo images by removing imperfections either in the subject or from the photographic process. With Photoshop CS3, reduce minor blurring or focus problems caused by camera movement or incorrect focus settings.

Instructions

1. Open your photo image in Photoshop CS3 by pressing "Ctrl" and "O" on your keyboard.

2. Click "Filter", "Sharpen," then "Sharpen" again from the main menu.

3. Click "Filter," "Sharpen," then "Sharpen More" if blurriness remains.

Tips & Warnings

• Use the Smart Sharpen filter tool to precisely control various aspects of the sharpen filter, avoiding unwanted visual artifacts.

• Apply the Sharpen filter to a selected region of the image by first using the Marquee or Lasso tools to define the region where the filter will be applied.

• Photoshop will not help with badly out of focus or blurry images. Overuse of the Sharpen filter will result in unwanted artifacts visible in the image.
