If All Else Fails When Sharpening in Photoshop Elements

by Erin on December 6, 2008 · 1 comment

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.
