				I recently did a great family shoot and one of the best pictures was slighty out of focus.  Is there any way to fix this to make the image clear and sharp?  |

				Sorry if this is a well known technique (I'm new to the forum)...
 
 
You can try this:
 
 
1) Make a copy of the background layer (put it above the background layer)
 
 
2) Apply the high pass filter to this new layer (see filter -> other)
 
 
3) In the drop down box for the new layer, instead of "normal" choose either "soft light" or "overlay".
 
 
Read it somewhere and have used it a lot (says a lot about my photography skills!). Hope it helps.  |
