I used my "PhotoImpression" program to enlarge a picture, but I’m wondering how can I focus that picture now. If you can’t help me with the "PhotoImpression" program, tell me about any program that helps focus pics after been enlarged. Thanks for your time and help.

What size did it start as and what size did you make it?

When you enlarge images you degrade quality. It’s only a matter of how much.

If you doubled the picture size, e.g. from 400 X 400 to 800 X 800, you quadrupled the number of pixels. You cannot really sharpen (focus) such an image: the information is simply not there.

However, you may be able to make minor improvements. Here is one technique I use. (But it would never work with a picture enlarged more than 10% or so.) Using Photoshop or another program with these tools:

1. Sharpen Edges.
2. Unsharp Mask. Adjust only the Amount, trying 50% and 100%, or even 150%.

Beyond that, it gets into retouching. Since humans will generally accept as sharp an image in which the eyes are sharp, you could retouch (paint) the eyes. Etc.

Good luck.
