How badly blurred is the document? The "Sharpen tool" in Photos is meant for sharpening RAW photos and improve the RAW development, is is not meant to be used for out of focus pictures.

Try to adjust the photo in "Edit" Mode (click "Edit", then the "Adjust" tab) - the edge sharpening tool in Photos can just add a little sharpness (use the "Auto" button in the Sharpen tool), but you can distract from the blurred edges by adding more Contrast and Definition.

For example:

  • Increase the "Amount" of the "Definition" slider.
  • Add a little sharpness in the Sharpen tool.
  • Increase "Contrast" and "Brilliance" in the "Light" section of the Adjustment tools, but try to keep out natural.

Particularly the "Definition" slider will make the details come out, even in a blurry photo.

When I need to enhance details, I am using Luminar AI was an external editor. It has nice controls to enhance the details.

  • photo info panel I am not satisfied with the info panel in photo's. If I add information in the info panel (e.g. keywords) after every input the info panel loses focus. So every time I add something, I have to click first again on the info panel. If I use e.g. 4 keywords, I have to click 4 times on the info panel to get the focus back. That means a lot of extra time. Someone familiar with this problem? (Until a year ago it worked properly, it is only in the latest versions). Hans Lijnbach. 760 4

Hi - There is very little you can to to turn an out of focus image into an in focus one. The information just isn't there.

You could try one of the AI based sharpening tools. I'd start looking at the free trial of Topaz labs Sharpen AI.

That is really not much to go on. This is the best I've managed. Not in Photos. If you right click and download, you'll get a higher res version than shown in the forum.
