What is the best way to process a photo that was taken with, for example, aperture 4 instead of aperture 11 and which has therefore become blurry at the sides. For example, a photograph of a room where there is fine sharpness in the middle of the image (the end of the room) but details closer to the camera out to the sides that are blurry and also blurry details in the middle ground at the sides of the image. I have tried using Super focus. I thought it was better at detecting the blurriness but it creates more of a general sharpness in the entire image. I find “Edit selection” difficult to use as there is not a sharp and clear difference between foreground and background but generally close and fine transitions between foreground, middle ground and background.
People put a lot of effort into artfully capturing the Bokeh effect. Why would you want to make it go away?
you misunderstand the problem; it has nothing to do with bokeh. For example, it is a photo of a kitchen that should have been taken with aperture 11 but was only taken with aperture 4 by mistake. Furniture, cabinets or the like that are at the edge of the picture, for example on the right or left side, are therefore blurred. I thought that Topaz AI would be better at detecting what is sharp and what is blurry and only make the blurry sharper and not make the sharp in the background more - unnaturally - sharp.
In this case I think you’ll need to use edit selection (and Super focus can get aggressive, so you if can get by with Sharpen I’d experiment with that). Try some of the edit selection variations (feathering, brush type, and auto selection type), in case you haven’t played around much with those. E.g., selecting background and then removing specific sharp areas might be the best way to do this.
But what you’re trying to do can be challenging to fully automate, depending on the in-focus gradations, and might need a combination of TPAI and other software for spot blurring/sharpening, and would be tough if you have to do a lot of images.
OK- thanks
