Fixing Focus - What you can and can't do

This image probably can be salvaged but it won't be pretty. Kudos to the boat broker for trying to turn on some lights, but he didn't brace to hold the camera still enough, even with use of the 'Sharpen' tool.

First I needed to fix the 'tilt' problem with the Rotate tool, brighten the levels of light and fix the color a bit to throw off that green tinge.

Now for the 'Sharpen' tool, found under the 'Filter' drop down menu on my program. Below is one application of the sharpen filter, and you can see the pillows are still blurry, so I'll try layering on another application of this filter...

With a second application of the tool, the pillows aren't so blurry, but you can see the beginning of the 'double vision' effect along the edge of the bed and the filter sort of 'sharpens in' the dots & speckling that were an effect of the low light conditions. A good lesson that digital cameras need light & a steady hand just as much as film cameras did!
