    Does anyone know if it's possible to change a blurry photo. I have a few pictures over the years, that I'm looking to fix. To put simply, the camera moved at the last second causing the picture quality to decrease.

    Is it possible to do so?

    This is very easily achieved with a DeLorean DMC-12.

    Simply stand closer the the object you wish to photograph. Or use a tripod.

    Think you're missing the question

    Maybe you've got bad eyesight and the photos aren't blurry at all?

    Shake your head from side to side really, really fast when looking at it.

    If you squint, it won't look so blurry

    That doesn't look like it worked at all, to be honest. A good digital artist could probably create an in-focus image from a blurry photo, but photoshop cannot find information that does not exist. It can't find the colour in a black and white photo (because it doesn't exist) and it cannot find the edge in a blurr (because that doesn't exist either). There is no easy fix for a badly taken photo.

    Didn't photoshop have some algorithm that was meant to come out in 6?

    Except if you end up doinking you Ma, then your image could disappear from the photo altogether

    No real method of doing this. You can't add detail that isn't there to begin with.

    Source: I used Microsoft Paint a few times.

    The 'sharpen' feature of photoshop can help slightly with this problem...it tries to get rid of blurred edges with mixed results. It has worked ok for me in some instances in the past... but dont expect miracles and dont fork out hundreds of euro for photoshop in hope- give the photo to someone who already has photoshop and see the results for yourself.

    Just press the big red "zoom in & enhance" button. Simples!
