Select the area to be sharpened using one of the selection tools. (To sharpen the entire photograph, do not select anything.)
Step4
Go to the Image menu and scroll down the list. Select Sharpen for regular sharpening, Sharpen More for more than regular sharpening, or Sharpen Edges to make the edges stand out.
Step5
Save your photo when you are finished sharpening by clicking File and selecting Save or Save As.
Tips & Warnings
Sharpening is generally used to bring out more definition in a photograph.
Sharpening a photograph too much will cause the pixels to stand out and look grainy. If this happens, select Undo from the Edit menu.

In step number four it says that the sharpen choices are in the Image menu. That's incorrect. They are actually in the Filter menu, under Sharpen.
