Fixing Out of Focus Advice Request

[Howard]

I took this a few years ago and as you can see I missed focus by a few inches.
I've tried various sharpening methods including High Pass filter but without real success.

It seems her face is too blurred to be rescued to an acceptable level but perhaps one of our experts has a technique I can try?

Feel free to play with the pic.

Thanks!

Howard, Here is a video by PiXimperfect that you may find helpful. It includes links to the various programs that would allow you to try them. I don't have Topaz Photo AI but think some of our members might.

I used On1 Photo Raw 2024.5 Tack Sharp; might have produced better results from original raw file.

Just to compare I used Topaz Photo AI and got a similar result - as Peter says it likely would have been better with a larger and less compressed image if one was available.

Thanks, hmca, Peterj and tonyw, your efforts are certainly better than mine. I will look into Topaz too.
