Blurred picture. ARGHHHHH

[jabishop14]

Can anyone please help? I'm desperate. I know that blurred pictures are nearly impossible to fix, but can anyone help me with this pic? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Try Focus Magic to remove motion blur. It might work (might not, too).

I took a look but failed!
Sorry, can't help.

try "Unshake", a free program. i dont know where to find it these days, but hopefully a google search will turn it up.

the image i'm posting is of 3 different unshake runs blended together in paint shop pro with a little cloning done to remove some unwanted blur. these are tough to do. perhaps a few runs through something like unshake or focus magic would get you better.

I've done enough of these to know... you are not going to like the results.

I guess that's you in the middle.... who's the group ?

Thanks a ton. Not too bad actually. can you send it to jabishop14@gmail.com?

[aartist]

Umm... I think this is a forum to help others do their own restoring.

[jabishop14]

I'm sorry if that isn't what is done on this website. I just really appreciated your work and I'm all about getting this picture to the best quality.

Something different to hide the blur.

Thanks Cupcake! This is really cool.

"Might not" is fairly accurate. Don't know why I even bother with this filter. When something is this gone...it's gone.

As I understand things , as individuals we must purchase programs in order to do what it is we want to do . it would seem that what we have as far as programs will not do the job . Is this a correct assumption ?

djm,

fixing blurs is quite tough. there isnt currently any one-shot fix, despite what television might have us believe. the two programs i know of that do somewhat help are focus magic and unshake. the former is a pay-for, the latter is free. there have also been programs that do deconvolution. i had one a few years ago, but for some reason i've lost it. it did a fair job on some things, but again, there isnt any that can really fix a blurred image very well.

if anyone would care to write one, a' la CSI, i'm sure it would make someone a decent bit of money

Is unshake a plug in for photoshop?

Blurry pics are a disappointing fact of life, but some of them are really worth the long shot. I have focus magic and it has helped a few pics, but not helped even more. Still, the ones I've brought back were priceless to me.

unshake is a java program. it runs stand-alone.
