The scanned image is blurred and needs to be improved


Image with blurred outline

If the outline of an image is not clear, an entire picture appears blurred.

To remedy this, sharpen the image with image editing software only once; with Photoshop this can be done by applying the Sharpen feature. Beware that, if sharpened repeatedly, the image will appear soiled.

If you want to make more precise adjustments, use the Unsharp Mask feature. In Photoshop, the Unsharp Mask feature is on the Filter menu.
