Recently took loads of pictures of my granddaughter's first birthday party. That camera had been handed to me with aperture priority set on the dial, previous photographer didn't notice and I didn't check, result, lots of blurred pics. What is the best software to unblur? Have tried a couple with very poor results.

Try Topaz Sharpen and Topaz Denoise.

Both available on free trial.

Be your best bet for fixing these.

Not aware of any software that will properly unblur - what have you tried?

How bad are we talking? Software is only so good.

Blurred but when I viewed on the back of the camera, not noticeable but on screen, not good. I do think you're right, software only so good. Have Photo Pos Pro 3 installed, didn't help and tried a couple of other free online solutions which didn't help either. Will give Topaz a go.

Thanks so far.

The software only really sharpens edges, it cant recreate detail is doesnt know about.
Can you post up an example.
Odds are there is not much you can do though.

'Blur' doesn't really mean anything. It's either out of focus, or camera movement, or subject movement. AFAIK none is fixable.

You'd be surprised. Give Topaz Gigapixel a whirl smile
