Fixing a blurry photo <3

Now these are 2 methods that usually work, but again this will depend on the photo! Open up your photo in photoshop by going to File > open. Now that you have your photo pulled up in photoshop, go over to your layers panel. if you cant find it, go to window at the top of photoshop & find "layers" and click it! Ok, now that you've got your layers pulled up, it should look like this

Now double click on the layer that says background (thats your photo), you'll have a window like this pop up... (click OK)

Now you're gonna go back to your layers, & right click on your one & only layer! it should say "layer 0" right click & find "duplicate layer", (see below) this makes another copy of your photo, so that you'll still have the original

After you've got that second layer, make sure its selected, go to Filter at the top of photoshop, scroll down to "other" & then "highpass", see below

Now you'll have this box pop up, My radius is 5.7, but it depends on your photo, you dont want to over do this method because it can come out entirely TOO sharp, if you have an eye for that kind of thing, you'll be able to tell when its way too much. Here is mine below.. once you have your radius,click OK.

Now make sure that you've still only got that second layer selected, above your layers, there will be a scroll bar that says "Normal" Click it and change it to "Overlay" - see BELOW!


& you are done! Now right click on that same top layer & click "Merge visible" to turn it into one layer! & then go to save, & save your image! here is my before & after below! (:

If this method doesnt work, you can also go Filter at the top of photoshop & find "Camera raw filter" , go to effects & play with the "clarity" & "Dehaze"!
