Deblur, denoise and enhance in one pass — then upscale if the source was small.
A sharpen slider raises local contrast at edges. It does not add detail — it exaggerates what is already there, which is why over-sharpened photos get bright halos along every boundary. A trained restoration model instead predicts the sharp image that would have produced this blurry one, which recovers texture that a slider cannot.
Motion blur, focus miss and low-light mush are three different problems; the enhancer handles the first two well and pairs with denoise for the third.
Upload the soft photo: Even a mildly out-of-focus frame benefits; severe motion blur has limits.
Enhance: One credit. Faces are routed through face restoration automatically.
Upscale if it was small: Sharpening a 900-pixel photo then upscaling to 4K beats doing it the other way round.
No halos: Reconstruction rather than edge contrast, so the result stays photographic.
Cheapest AI pass: 1 credit, so it is worth trying on any doubtful frame.
Pairs with denoise: For high-ISO night shots, run the cleaner first, then enhance.
Can AI fix a badly out-of-focus photo? Partly. Mild softness recovers convincingly; a heavily defocused frame has too little information left.
Does it work on old scans? Use the restorer for prints — it has face-specific repair the enhancer does not.
