Digital Photo Processing - Don't Throw Away All Blurry Images

SUMMARY: Slightly blurry digital photos may be repairable so they can be used on a website or blog.

Unless you only take photos with perfect lighting, or unless you take all of your digital photos with a tripod and can completely eliminate the chance of camera shake, you're bound to have a few blurry photos.

Don't eliminate all of these pictures! If you shoot digital photos with a higher megapixel (5+) digital camera, you might be able to take some of the only slight-blurry images and repair them. Try resampling these photos down to a lower resolution with your digital photo editing software, then apply an unsharp mask, adaptive unsharp, or standard sharpen tool. Since you're losing resolution, the photos may not be printable as 8x10s, but they may be good enough for other uses, such as a website or blog.
