Sharpening an Image

[starkeann]

I have used the unsharp filter for quite a while now, but somtimes feel dissatisfied with my results. Any other suggestions on how to sharpen an image that is slightly blurry.

Rescan or reshoot

Starkeann,
Look up Ultra Sharp Pro on the internet. They have a free lite version. Also a version for $20.00 US. it is a Photoshop plugin. I just downloaded the Lite version and have not tried it. If you can'nt find the web site email me.
This might solve your problems.

If the image is a little soft the unsharp filter can sharpen it up, but if it is out of focus there is not a lot Photoshop can do. A couple things that might help. Go into channels and click on the individual red, green, or blue, channel. One of the channels may be more fuzzy then the rest (usually red). Use the unsharp filter on that channel. Also you can change the color mode to Lab Color and use the unsharp filter and then change it back to RGB.

Good luck.
