MightyM Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hi all, I am new to the forum and in need of advice or help. I have a photo I have attached which was taken out of focus but I would love to restore it if possible. Can anyone help with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff James Ritson Posted November 3, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hi MightyM, out of focus issues are typically hard to treat with any degree of success. A deconvolution filter would yield some kind of clarity, but Photo currently doesn't have one. What you could try is a combination of live filters with blend ranges and different opacity values. It's a bit convoluted to explain in a forum post but I've attached an .afphoto document to show you what I've done, as well as a processed version of the image. Is the original image any larger at all, is your attachment just a crop of the original? The image you've attached is very low in resolution, quite pixellated and contains some compression artefacts. If you work from a higher quality source you'll have more success. post-40302-0-06561100-1478169131.afphoto Patrick Connor 1 Quote Product Expert (Affinity Photo) & Product Expert Team Leader @JamesR_Affinity for tutorial sneak peeks and more Official Affinity Photo tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
