Paint My Photo

I have corel paint shop pro photo. I had a hockey tournament over the weekend. My mother took pictures with my camera. Well ... lets just say some of them did not turn out well. They are really blurry and grainy. I do that you can use the noise suppression, but it takes only a few of the granulation. How do I get the rest of blur / grain / output fuzzy.

Unfortunately, no photo editing program can transform poor pictures in the right. In addition to noise removal, try Adjust> Brightness and Contrast> Clarify. Try Sharpen and Sharpen More in the setup menu. There are a number of techniques for multi-stage sharpening your photos, but the simplest is the following:

Open a photo. In the Layers palette, double click the icon boxes at the top right of the pallet twice to make two copies of the image. Click on the Background layer and click the delete icon (with red X) on top of the palette to close the original image. Click on the copy to the top of the Layers palette to highlight. Adjust> Blur> Gaussian Blur. The default setting should be 40 and radius. Now, in the box at the top of the Layers palette that says Normal, click the down arrow on the right side, scroll down and click on the cover. You can cancel and then try Hard Light Softlight to find one that gives a better result. (These are blending modes and they are fun to play.)

You can also make two copies. Highlight the top layer. Effects> Effects Media Art> pencil. Details Try 96, Opacity 93. You may need to adjust them. Leave the opacity at 100% and just change the details. You want a good rendering of the outlines of objects in the picture without much noise. Once you have a pencil drawing well. Change the blending mode in the Layers palette collection or soft light. This cartoon gives a subtle effect, but can harden the edges.

Good Luck.
