How To Sharpen Blurry Photos | Photoshop 2021 Tutorial

[@AnthonyLam]

Guys, keep in mind that the keyword is sharpen. It is simply impossible to bring a photo back from the brink of death (blurry to the point where there are no details). Youre better of trying some AI software, but even then, the eyes will not be that of the original user.

"It is simply impossible to bring a photo back from the brink of death" Best explanation. Video is great, thanks.

[@codehorror8076]

@@findelciclo VanceAI will bring photos back from the brink of death. I am on this video because I am searching for a plugin that can do similar. to what VanceAI does because they're stupid expensive. I can't find anything.

[@Trendnet18]

@@codehorror8076 Thanks will check it out

[@lennyf1957]

I don't think any one is expecting to be able to bring a photo back from "the brink of death", but your example photo has only the slightest bit of a blur, only noticeable by the most discerning eye. I think you could have chosen a more typical photo to demonstrate.

[@nickycharles5878]

Should'nt AI and generative fill be able to do that now ?

[@k-ozdragon]

This method works SO much better than all the other tutorials online. I used it once to great effect, but forgot some of the steps when I needed it again. I ended up using the other methods listed by other tutorials (including Adobe themselves). None of them even came close to being as effective. Glad I was able to find this video again!

[@billmorley3530]

I am so weary of overly chatty tutorials. Thank you for making these videos SHORT AND TO THE POINT!!

[@SecretEyeSpot]

Now I understand the theory you're applying. So this solution works if we apply our own pixelation to the image whereby the intended effect is to reduce by contrast the areas that are pixelated to the eye by blurring the background of the subject via masking, and then clarifying the essential attributes of the subject by subsequently sharpening just those areas

[@liberatecogitare3122]

Thank You. Tutorial video should be like this. Short and simple. You're the best.

[@Sewakrai-c2r]

I didn't get this? Brush tool (paint back the area you would like to be sharpened)

[@svetlanaklinova4876]

I didn’t get why and how use the brush tool :(

[@MultiThunder1234]

Great, it works well for me, 3 pixels may be too little or too much, it really depends on the image quality you're working with and the degree of recovery required.

[@TFNE9426]

What are you doing with the brush? If just whites out the image when I apply it?

[@thesascuaci3826]

exactly

[@prenomnom7197]

It's a layer mask. Black means MASKED, white means that it ALLOWS effects from layers above to be visible. It's just like cutting a hole in a cutout. The white is the hole, the black is the cutout

[@andrzejdziuba]

i have same problem, his mask is black and when he brushed its makes this poits white, but my mask its white when i create it

[@otszzz79]

great tutorial, unfortunately not working on the messed up pictures I have. But surely will use this method for other pics. thank you

[@vipspotlightviral]

Master at work. thank you.!!

[@PichettoFratame]

This method is amazing, thank you so much!!!

[@WAVYU5]

Your cursor disappears,how do you get the brush tool like that because not only does mine NOT get that circumference,it starts erasing.pkease help

[@williamvalderrama401]

What hardness did you have your brush setting? I had completely different results. It made my image look very high contrast

[@billydie17]

Just tutorial no trash talking.. tq so much

[@andrzejdziuba]

hi, when i creat mask after change to linear light my mask its white and when using brush nothings changes, how to solve this

[@AnthonyLam]

Hi, you need your layer mask to be black. To do this click the layer mask, and press CMD|Ctrl + i then use a white brush to reveal again.

[@andrzejdziuba]

@@AnthonyLam ctrl + I was the key i was looking for, thank you so much 😁

[@koengreen2540]

the brush tool is not working for me

[@scottkendall7789]

Sorry, but this doesn't work at all for me. And Have done everything you say to do in this video. I even wrote it down so I wouldn't miss any steps. but when it came to the layer mask and the brush tool and painting back what I want to be sharp, It doesn't do it.

[@GamePunk327]

it does for me

[@the_ante_meridiem]

go to mask layer.not on the normal layer

[@bradydefelice2944]

Maybe it also depends on the amount of pixels. Which can vary from different pictures.

[@ThroughTheLookingGlass33]

This issue is a bit old, but just in case anyone else has this problem. On the video, they used an inverted layer mask (on mac, hold option when clicking to create mask) perhaps thats why it wasnt working when you brushed over it.

[@BasicShowTime]

Straight to the point, thank you man!

[@E5LDN]

Hi. IT looked really simple. I tried it a few times following each step. Nothing changed at all so I'm probably missing something. Maybe your method works on an old version of PS.

[@scottkendall7789]

How is your layer mask black and mine is white. how do I change it.

[@AnthonyLam]

Hello, Scott. Simply press Cmd|Ctrl + i to invert the mask to black.

[@masterbetacypto9740]

@@AnthonyLam Yep you forgot to include this, thanks.

[@kyleschwartz.]

so simple but helped so much more than the unsharp mask!

[@Emmanuel_Ogwa]

Thanks it worked like magic ❤️‍🔥

[@maxlo8342]

What shortcut button u press to have the brush tool have 2 circle?

[@WAVYU5]

Right!? He COMPLETELY SKIPPED that part as the cursor disappeared 🤔🤔🤔

[@lindarostoll1508]

Thank you great tutorial. It worked for me 🎉

[@msinsuranceadjuster4396]

thank you for the short tutorial. it is little bit work to my blurry image, but at least, it is better

[@amrsho]

So nice, short clean and simple, yet very useful. Thanks for this tutorial, you deserve more subscribers!

[@lennyf1957]

Yeah, it's clean and simple if you know what you're doing. It's completely useless if you have very little experience..

[@memorywarrior8752]

I used this for a circuit board that was scanned but was very blurry and it worked amazingly. Well done.

[@joshuamejia5835]

Why all of you put a blurry sample, but the one you use is not so blurry

[@enhk]

Fast, efficient and precise tutorial, thank you so much~!

[@brandonbrandon2893]

It didn't work for me as you describe and show it. Instead, once I change to "Linear Light", it auto-sharpens to full 100% on the portion of the layer that was visible in the high pass at 3px. The brush is doing nothing for me. If you have any suggestions, that would be great. Thanks for the simplicity of the steps, though. The conciseness is great.

You are missing part " image -adjustment- invert" from your guide .

[@nicklausgenuardi9569]

When I make my mask why is mine white and yours black? What am I doing wrong?

[@Iphonmm]

Thx for the trick. Anyway, what if I have 500 blurred images to sharpen? Can I do one of them and simply copy and paste the rest of the pictures ??

[@AnthonyLam]

Yes, you can save the steps as an action.
