How to improve the clarity of photos

Method 1: Filter-Other-Gao Fancha Reservation

Gao Fancha preservation mainly preserves the boundary between two parts of an image, that is, color and contrast between light and dark, which can be used to make a blurred picture clear. If you use the sharpening tool directly, it is likely to damage the image quality.

1. Open a piece of material, and the effect is shown in the figure.

2. At this time, I found that the clarity of the material is not very high. Here, we only need to copy the layer where the person is located to get a copy, and execute the "Filter/Other/Gao Fancha Reservation" command in the menu to open the "Gao Fancha Reservation" dialog box, and the parameter values are set as shown in the figure.

Remarks: The larger the radius, the better. The larger the radius, the more obvious the sharpening, the more abrupt the feeling, giving people a feeling of obvious treatment. Generally 1%-6% is appropriate.

3. Click OK after setting, and set the blending mode to Overlay, Soft Light or Highlight in the Layers panel. The opacity is set to 47% (for reference only), and the effect is as shown in the figure. At this time, I found that the clarity of the photo was obviously enhanced.

Method 2: Filter-Blur-Surface Blur

Use tools: Photoshop

Utilities: Filters, Layer Styles

Operating steps:

1. Pull the background layer to the button below the control panel and copy the layer (shortcut key CTRL+J);

2. Press CTRL+I to reverse the operation, as shown in the figure:

"Reverse phase" means that the color and tone of the image are reversed, and the colors of color photos and negatives are reversed, with black turning into white, blue turning into yellow and red turning into green.

3. Set the opacity of this layer to 50%, and the panel will turn gray;

4. perform "filtering >; Fuzzy >; Blurred surface ";

Adjust the parameter size, the radius is 3- 15 and the threshold is 15-20, and adjust according to the image size.

5. Keep the opacity of the layer at 50%, stamp the layer (CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E), and hide the "background copy".

(Stamp layer: all layers are merged into a new layer, while protecting all the layers below)

6. Change the layer mode of layer 1 to Overlay or Soft Light. If necessary, you can copy "layer 1" repeatedly to make the picture more perfect.
