Over the past few decades, technological progress in cameras has greatly improved our pictures. However, they can still turn out blurry or distorted depending on lighting, motion, and other factors.
Unfocused photos are becoming more and more popular for some reason, but without the ever so beloved filters like Instagram, they’re usually just annoying. For example, you’ve tried to take a one-of-a-kind family photo and found that the image is blurry and shaky.
There are programs that can improve the sharpness of photos. Although in most cases you can never make a sharp and beautiful copy of a blurry photo or video, you can use these tools to restore important details and sharpen things back to a slightly better quality. Of course, you can’t expect to edit a badly out-of-focus photo into a magazine cover, but you can get amazing results using these tools in the style of the CSI TV show.
In this article, we are going to tell you how to make blurry photos to be better quality in different ways.
