To make a blurry object clear in Photoshop, use the Shake Reduction filter.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Open the Image: Launch Photoshop and open the image containing the blurry object.
-
Select the Filter: Go to the "Filter" menu, then choose "Sharpen," and finally select "Shake Reduction."
Filter > Sharpen > Shake Reduction
-
Photoshop Analyzes and Corrects: Photoshop will automatically analyze the image, identify the blur's characteristics, and apply appropriate corrections. This process might take a few moments.
Explanation of the Shake Reduction Filter:
The Shake Reduction filter is designed to reduce blur caused by camera shake or movement. It works by:
- Analyzing the Image: It examines the image to detect patterns of blur.
- Estimating Blur Direction and Extent: It determines the direction and magnitude of the camera shake.
- Applying Reverse Deconvolution: It uses a process called deconvolution to reverse the blur, effectively sharpening the image.
Additional Tips for Best Results:
- Adjustment Settings (Advanced Users): The Shake Reduction dialog box allows for manual adjustments. You can refine the blur estimation and correction by adjusting parameters such as:
- Blur Trace Length: Indicates the length of the detected blur.
- Blur Direction: Specifies the angle of the detected blur.
- Shake Sensitivity: Adjusts the sensitivity to different types of shake.
- Refine Selection: You can isolate the area to be sharpened by making a selection before applying the filter. This can speed up processing and focus the effect.
- Consider Smart Sharpen: If Shake Reduction doesn't give you the desired result, explore the "Smart Sharpen" filter (
Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen) for more control over sharpening parameters. Smart Sharpen can be more effective for general blur or softness, whereas Shake Reduction is tailored to motion blur.
