Fuzzy Photo Remedies

If you have experience in the future, you must know that using Photoshop to save the phase is not omnipotent, and two of the errors are not always able to be made after the way to effectively remedy: loss of focus and hand shaking (camera shake). As an experienced photographer, must attach great importance to taking photos of these two problems, and the camera manufacturers in these two subjects to invest a lot of research and development, develop more accurate focusing system and more advanced hand-shaking technology to help the photographer to reduce the loss of coke and hand shaking of the possibility.

Although photography technology has greatly helped the photographer, but even the most sophisticated photographer will have to miss, in case an important photo because of shaking hands and blurred what to do? In fact, the system also has a way to reduce the shaking of the hand and vague degree of attention is to reduce, not solve.

I know a special remedy. Hand-shaking software has three, respectively, in Photoshop CC has provided shake reduction, topaz infocus and and piccure. The latter both are in the form of plug-in, so you have to have Photoshop, element or Lightroom to work.

Comparison results

Testing of the three software are very competent to achieve a certain degree of remediation, Topaz infocus Artificial modification is more obvious, although sharp, but lead to a whole less natural; Photoshop cc shake reduction is much more natural, as for piccure between the two, the effect is good. The biggest problem with Topaz and piccure, however, is that they are all for extra plug-in, and my opinion is that Photoshop CC already offers a less-than-no-loss, even better, reducing hand-shaking filter, unless you're using an older version of Photoshop, There is no need to buy a third party plug-in.

If you are interested, all of the above software can be free to download a full function of the trial version, you can try it yourself oh.

Only the old version of Photoshop, also do not want to spend money to buy filters how to do?

There are, of course, traditional approaches and it is not complicated.

1. Open a picture in Photoshop

2. Press CTRL + J to copy the picture to the new layer

3. Filter > Other > ...

4. To enter the value of this step, depending on the photo, try to move the radius to just see the main body of the line to see, you may want to try more than a few times

5. In blend mode, select overlay, if not so strong, you can switch to Softlight

High Pass Effect

You can see that the traditional manual method works better than the dedicated filters.

There's one last trick.

But it always feels a little blurry? I have an indirect post-system tips: is the main outside the background further blurred, because people see things will be compared to other things, such as the full picture of the most clear is the protagonist, so even if the protagonist in fact a little fuzzy also inconspicuous. I use the image above to further color and blur the background, and then sharpen in the face a little bit more, the effect is as follows:

Conclusion

Although there are so many software to help, although the technology continues to progress, although some unfortunate blurred photos should be great, but I will still shake the hands of the pictures to throw away. The method mentioned in this article is a last resort to ensure that the photo is clear is the basic requirements of the photographer, I received the high ISO noise, but can not accept a blurred picture.

Eliminate hand-shaking kung fu should definitely be done in the shooting, if you want to reduce the chance of shaking hands, you can refer to the article about safe shutter.
