Fix blurry picture
Please advise quickest way to fix a blurry picture in CS3.
Dave Baldwin
There isn't any way to do that. Although Photoshop can do some sharpening, it can only work with the info in the picture. If it is really blurry, you can't do much.
Post your problem picture so I can a look at it
If an image is blurry to start with it will always be blurry no matter what sharpening tools you apply to it.

What you see them do on TV... is just made up. It simply doesn't work that way. They are just entertaining you.

No, I'm sorry, you can't turn a box of big square blobs into a legible license plate. The information just isn't there.
Lets hope thuhue posts his blurry picture then ;)
That's what we're waiting for.
Bring back the days of lith film D11 developer, ruby lith and register pins. They mark real Unsharp Masks. Ok labourious and painstaking

back on track, Meretes solutions are on the money. The Adobe gurus at the CS 6 roadshow showed some inbuilt CS6 inbuilt filters that can analyse the way a camera has moved to remove motion blurs (pans, shakes etc). The results depend on the resolution of the original image, so video feeds are a bit difficult to process.

@Merete - I get the following message from your third link
To make a long story short, the cameras we tested had a very low success rate of reading the information. I asked a colleague from Ontario how they managed to use a similar system for billing drivers on a toll road with cameras rather than toll booths. I was informed that they actually hired a bunch of students to read the images to retrieve the information.
So, I think much of what we see on CSI and other TV programs may be more fiction than fact.
I also have used software to sharpen blurry images with limited success.
However, the software proposed by Merete, ID: 39512523, was similar to what I used. I know that there exists forensic software to do this, but can be rather expensive.
Here is one such app: Focus Magic ($45)

Here we demonstrate the power of Focus Magic in it's ability to recover detail from blurred images.Finally, if you are scanning a slightly blurred document, use a lower dpi (150 - 200) and you get better OCR results than a higher one (300 +).

Hi Merete,
Yes - I'm using the latest version of Norton 360! I have had this happen in the past as well, 'False positive' on a site that had been hacked in the past & since been cleaned up. Thanks for the info!

Thank you thuhue, would still have loved to try your image.
@Paul, I have a response from the web site
Is there anything you would like me to respond to?
Or just let them know your response from above?
You don't have an email address I could send this so am just borrowing a little space here again.
