If All Else Fails When Sharpening in Photoshop Elements

by Erin on December 6, 2008

If your picture is blurry beyond repair, here is one more idea to try.  Make everything other than the subject of the photo blurrier!

  • Duplicate the layer that needs sharpening (after flattening if necessary)
  • Select the part of the picture that you want to focus on
  • Invert the selection by typing Control + Shift + I
  • Go to the Filter Menu and select Blur/Gaussian Blur
  • Start with a small number like 2 or 3 in the Radius field
  • Say a little prayer in hopes that you can salvage this picture!
  • Adjust the new layer’s opacity as needed.
