Bring back clearer-looking edges in a slightly soft photo without turning skin, hair or bright outlines into crunchy sharpening artefacts.
Tip: denoise first if the source is grainy, then sharpen lightly. Severe motion blur or missed focus cannot be genuinely reconstructed.

Useful to know
Slight softness from resizing, compression or a mildly missed focus point.
Sharpening strengthens edges; it cannot truly repair heavy motion blur or a badly out-of-focus photo.
Watch hair, text and high-contrast edges. Bright or dark halos mean the sharpening is too strong.
Portraits usually need less strength than text, products or graphics.
