How to Sharpen Focus on Fuzzy Pictures?

[NotEinstein]

I don't know how, and I have some almost ancient photos I want to scan onto my hard drive and print out to save what part of them I can. Please help?

Hi NotEinstein, welcome to the forum. In the first instance, try Effects > Photo > Sharpen and see how you like the results.

Then there is the Sharpen+ plugin. It has a load more options, and also needs to be downloaded and installed first. Here's how: Plugin Installation & Troubleshooting

If neither of these does the job, I suggest you post a sample image here and let us see what you're working with.

Edit: also worthy of consideration is the Unsharp Mask plugin.

Thank you very much. I haven't downloaded your program yet; wanted to find out first if it could address my most acute need. I've got Windows 7 but haven't been entirely satisfied with the results. But it sounds as if this will at least make a noticeable difference. I'm trying to create a family history with pictures where people can actually be distinguished one from another!
