blurring effects" these are Blending effects, not Blurring effects.......
2. One suggestion, if you have CS5, CS4, and maybe CS3: As soon as you
create the Background Copy and before you do anything else, Right-Click on
Background Copy then select "Convert to Smart object" Under the name
"Background Copy" you will see an indented line and box that says "Smart
Filters". Under "Smart Filters" you will see an indented line and box that
says "High Pass" This allows you to adjust the High Pass till it looks
right, you do this by double-clicking on the line, "High Pass". This will
call up the filter with your current settings. What is cool, is that once
you have done everything, i.e., setting the Blend modes, you will see your
image debut or blur as you adjust the slider making the adjustment that much
easier.

Subject: [photoshop-beginners] How to fix blurry photos
There is definitely a way to fix blurry photos guys. I've been searching
around and i found a way to sharpen photos. So, those of you who may think
it's impossible to fix slightly blurred photos, whether it's out of focus of
a little bit of motion blur, it is definitely possible.
Here's how to fix the image in Photoshop CS5:
1) Open the photo in CS5 and make a copy of it by clicking and dragging
the background (in the layers box on the lower right corner) down to the 2nd
button from the right all the way at the bottom, which, if you hover over
it, will say create a new layer. This will create a copy of the background.
The new layer will have the title "Background copy."
2)Go to the top of the CS5 window and look for the tab that says "Filter."
Click it and then go down to "Other." Then that will extend out and then
click "High Pass." This should open a small sub-window entitled "High
Pass."
-You will see that you picture on your screen turned grey. That's alright
because if you look at your layers, it's only the Background copy that
turned grey. We will fix this grayness later.
3)In the sub-window, you will see at the bottom "Radius:(and a #) pixels.
This number varies depending on the size of you picture. Your going to slid
that bar at the bottom of the sub-window over in one direction or the other,
so you can make out the lines in the object you are trying to sharpen.
-It is crucial that you don't slid it too much in one direction or the other
because the end result will not at all be satisfactory. You have to slid
the bar, but not so you can see all the color in the photo. It must remain
grey.
4)Now, turn you attention back the "Layers" tab at the bottom right
corner. Just below the word "Layers," the title of the tab, you will see a
drop-down menu that says "Normal." Click the arrow and then you should see
a whole list of blurring effects. In this list, halfway down, you will see
the words "Overlay," "Soft Light" and "Hard Light." Soft Light sharpens it
the least with the least amount of added noise and whatnot. Meaning, it
still looks natural. Overlay is a medium setting. It adds a little more
noise, but still looks pretty natural. Hard Light is one I would use more
if something is pretty blurry, but worth fixing up. It adds a lot of noise,
doesn't look as natural and may not be as appealing if it's not really
needed. I use Overlay more than Soft or Hard Light, just because it more of
a median between the other two. You can try all of these out and if you
picture is a little blurrier than these three settings can handle, there's
also "Vivid Light" and "Linear Light." Vivid light is less noisy than
Linear Light, but both are noisier than Hard Light.
-You can see the difference between the new sharpened picture and the
origional by clicking the little eye next to the Background copy in the
"Layers" box in the bottom right corner.
I hope this helps you sharpen a blurry or out of focus image that's worth
fixing up. :)
