AKVIS Refocus can sharpen blurry images.
But sometimes you can improve the photo that has no problems at all.
Even if the photo is sharp enough you can use Refocuse to add an artistic effect.
We'll sharpen a girl and blur the background
We'll sharpen a girl and blur the background
to make the loneliness of the girl more expressive.
With Refocus tools it will be easy.
First, use the blue pencil within the outline of the girl.
This tool defines the focus area.
This area will be sharpened.
Next, use the red pencil around the girl.
It is better to draw a closed outline around the objects. Otherwise the effect can extend over the drawn borders.
The areas outside of the red line will be blurred.
Adjust some parameters.
Under Focus set Intensify = 16.
Under Defocus set Blur to its maximum value.
Process the image.
For more realistic effect it's better to use lower values, but that's what we want.
Here's the result.
