I took a ton of pictures at an event. Unfortunately the autofocus of my cam is a bit wonky and this lead to blurry pictures. Does anyone have an app or way to restore details on the unfocused object? I also have the raw files of these pictures if that helps.

    You can’t ‘restore’ those details because the camera didn’t capture them. The light was not focused on the same plane as the sensor

    The best you can do is use an AI sharpening tool which will essentially guess what a sharp image would look like

    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ai+image+sharpening

    From one of those sites: “The Focus model reduces lens blur caused by missed focus. This is the toughest use case and won’t recover 100% of your photos. When it works, though, it works really well and can completely recover a throwaway image.”

    Your success will be highly dependant on how out of focus the images are. Slightly out of focus? You’ll probably be able to get it looking mostly right minus some small details. But very out of focus? The computer will never know what was there, because the camera never actually captured what it was.

    You will not be able to get the actual detail back unfortunately… However there are some of the ai tools that give best guesses as to what should have been there and like a sort of auto-generated picture can look extremely plausible. I have seen outputs from them and think the latest Google pixel phone will have it built in, but not sure were to access it online

      Yeah I played around with different tools yesterday. Topaz sharpen AI was pretty much useless for what I need. But ChaiNNer with different models is looking promising so far to save at least some of the pictures I have.
