Hi, my German Shepard Sparky died early Wednesday morning (3:13 to be exact) from a seizure and I would like to print an 8x10 or larger picture of him, but the image I want to print is kind of blurry and a bit out of focus so I was hoping that there might be a Photoshop or GIMP master around here that could touch up the image for me.

Thank you,
Keith

Not sure if this is any better.

That is a lot better.
Thank you Major.
What program did you use? and if it was GIMP could you tell me how you did it for future reference since I don't have Photoshop?

I have PhotoShop, but I actually used a nifty free program called Paint.net. So nice and easy to use and much quicker than Photoshop. Some freebies you might like:

awesomeness ??? Good word! You're welcome again. Glad to have helped.

One thing that I find can help along with sharpening and other stuff is draw a very thin line along the edge of the subject. If you zoom way in on the image and then use the eye dropper tool to pick a pixel that seems to have an average color and then draw a one pixel line around the edge of the subject. I find that it has the effect of sharpening the focus.

Like this, it works better with certain images. There is a small difference when you put them side by side.
