Fixing blurry digital photos?????

I have read of some programs that can take out some blur in a photo. The problem is that they are expensive and not user friendly. You see on TV and in the movies where they take a blurry photos and tap a couple of keys and it is clear. It doesn't work that way. what the program does is it looks at each pixel and makes a decision what color should this be and changes it. You new photo may be clear but distorted in the color scheam. At 145 MPH the car is traveling 200 feet per second. If you are shooting at 1/1000 of a second the car is traveling 0.2 feet (2.4 inches) in the time it takes the camera to capture the photo. Add to this the camera shake that occures and the car shake (up and down) and you will have a blurry photo. There are some things that you can do to compensate for the movement. The first is to pan (move with the object) with the camera and keep panning after you take the photo. The other thing is to use the viewfinder in the camera, keeping your elbows close to your body, move your upper body, and don't try to use the viewing screen on the camera. You can buy a more professional camera such as a Canon Mark series ($3000 and up) with a high speed lens ($2000 +) and imiage stablization built into the lens. The other thing you could do is try some different modes on your camera. Some cameras have good quality digital movie mode that you can get some larger(5x7 and 8x10) prints made from the movie frames. You will need to experment with this. It would help if you could tell us what type of camera and post one of your Good but Blurry photos for us to better see the problem.

I forgot to add the photo of a panning shot. You will need to practice this technique and don't forget to keep panning after you take the shot. The follow through will be as important as the panning.

Unless someone else knows of something I don't (then we'll both learn something lol) there is no fix for blurry photos. You can edit, color, croping, but as for blurriness, there is no fix, other than when you take the photo. I take anywhere from 5 to 10 pics of anyone subject that I am trying to capture, for the simple reason I know not all are going to come out as a great end result, but I do know that out of 10 I might get 2 - 4 good ones and a great one. Sorry I couldn't help you with that, I know it is to download pictures and not have any good one to keep, and of course normally it is of something you can't go back and recapture.

I would recommend the program "Focus Magic". It can fix blur caused by camera movement, or blur caused by an out of focus subject! The program comes alone, or as a plug-in for Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, PhotoImpact, etc. There is a free trial on their website focusmagic.com The free trial will allow you to run it on a small number of images (it's something like 10-15 images...) After that, you will have to buy the program which costs $45 (USD).
