| Had a very quick go with your picture. Used Polaroid D&S filter on 2 seperate layers (one for dark dust, one for light) applied layer masks and applied only where detail was not affected. New layer and cloned and patched out the major blemish in bottom right. Flattened image, then colour corrected. Finally selective sharpening on girls face. In answer to your question, it is unlikely you will be able to get a sharply focused picture, as the original was not so, and there is not the detail in the picture that would be needed. Even if it were, it is extremely difficult to get any substantive improvement in a blurred picture. |

| Hi Wintergoddess, That is a sweet photo, cutie! Ah, the 80s hehe! I take it that you want to bring out the best you can of the little skater and the background is secondary. the second image you attatched is quite small so if you can attatch a larger image of just the girl (is it you? Cheers for now, Littlecoo |

| On Skates I color corrected the photo. Then I tweeked the vertical line of the wall. I cloned the right foreground and used photoshops dust and scratches filter. |

| Hi there It is difficult to work on a low res version of a photo with lots of jpeg artifacts and damage. You tend to loose texture when you heal and repair. If you want to keep the background you may consider reapplying texture of some kind to the wall and walk It is also hard to sharpen without drawing attention to damage. On a higher res version I believe you could selectively isolate edges and improve the perception of focus. PS… what a cutie Butch |

| My attempt .. cute pic I checked the levels using the white sleeve as the white reference. Despeckled/reduced noise/dust and scratches Cloned out the discolouration bottom right. Tidied generally with healing and clone, particularly the crease going into the right leg. Tried to straighten the wall a little .. I hope it stays put! Sharpened a little, rechecked levels. Then I ran a filter in Virtual Photgrapher - either 'mountain' or 'landscape'. It seemed to pull it all together a little bit although I am still aware of light yellow patches which I've tried to reduce a little. leanan`si |
