Try this plugin pack by Tanel, specifically the Sharpen+ effect.

The best way to reduce blur in a photograph is to take another photograph.

If only

I regularly get poor photos emailed to me, usually with a request to "...put this on my/our website". Sometimes you have just got to work with what you're given

@Mithos: Why not post a pic so we can see what you're working with?

[Mithos]

these are some screenshots of the photos the photos themselves were over the size limit so i posted screenshots of what i'm trying to improve

[BoltBait]

The person who took these images should have their camera privileges revoked.

Those are serious blurs :!:

I think the best you can ask for is a slight improvement, but you're probably not going to get much. I think BoltBait was right in his first post: take new photos.

[Mithos]

these photos were taken at an event a month ago and the next one isnt till july of next year so Rephotos are essentially out of the question i accept that the photographs i took were bad in some cases at these events people pose and sometimes move around making taking a good picture diffcult also i accept that the improvements are going to be very minor compared to the orignals so any help is greatly apperciated

Honestly, you're not even going to get minor improvements. That's utterly impossible - like trying to copy down a page of data as it blows by in the wind.

My advice is try and make it looks artistic by adding some soften portrait and vignnete. Make it look as if you've done it on purpose.

Mithos, next time you try taking pictures, I recommend turning on the flash.

In the case of these pictures, LJXD has the only viable advice.

[Mithos]

hey boltbait i've got a question were you being sarcastic when you said to turn on the flash on my camera or serious?

[david.atwell]

He was being serious. It will decrease exposure time in most cameras, making it less blurry.

BoltBait's handy Sarcasm Guide:

BoltBait's posts run the gambit from mildly sarcastic:

The best way to reduce blur in a photograph is to take another photograph.

...to extremely sarcastic:

The person who took these images should have their camera privileges revoked.

However, sometimes, he forgets to put sarcasm into his posts and actually gives some good advice:

Take note of these post as they are extremely rare and quite valuable.

Now, where does this post fit on the sarcasm spectrum? I'll let you be the judge.

Maybe MadJik's motion sharpen will help. Although, it's more likely to make it worse...
