I need a quick bit of advice anybody, please. I took a number of shots last night of a church service and some of them are slightly out of focus. Can anyone give me a quick fix solution as I have to process these very quickly. I can never quite figure out the sharpening action. I just want an idea of a generalisation for this. I tried something similar a few weeks ago but the processed prints came out very grainy and were useless. Thanks

Advice to get it back in focus?
Do it over.
Sharpening will put emphasis on the ‘outoffocusness’.

*If* it’s OOF then it may be better to use tool to make it looks in focus instead of Sharpen which usually turning Soft into Sharp.

I don’t use neither one, but have read and may see some samples of the Focusing tool’s. And you may be able to get the similar result using Photoshop itself (sorry I only have the idea but never tried to know how well it may work).

in my own experience you can use unsharp mask (is a Sharpen Filter on Photoshop CS and over i think), it works for me on slightly unfocussed images.

try it using 150-200 amount, 0,7-1 ratius and 3-10 thereshold.

there is too the Smart Sharpen filter, where you can select the kind of blur: lens, motion or gaussian.
in both cases you should avoid the use of high levels of ratius wich can produce big grains.

good luck
