Guys, keep in mind that the keyword is sharpen. It is simply impossible to bring a photo back from the brink of death (blurry to the point where there are no details). Youre better of trying some AI software, but even then, the eyes will not be that of the original user.

"It is simply impossible to bring a photo back from the brink of death" Best explanation. Video is great, thanks.

[@codehorror8076]

@@findelciclo VanceAI will bring photos back from the brink of death. I am on this video because I am searching for a plugin that can do similar. to what VanceAI does because they're stupid expensive. I can't find anything.

[@Trendnet18]

@@codehorror8076 Thanks will check it out

[@lennyf1957]

I don't think any one is expecting to be able to bring a photo back from "the brink of death", but your example photo has only the slightest bit of a blur, only noticeable by the most discerning eye. I think you could have chosen a more typical photo to demonstrate.

[@nickycharles5878]

Should'nt AI and generative fill be able to do that now ?

[@k-ozdragon]

This method works SO much better than all the other tutorials online. I used it once to great effect, but forgot some of the steps when I needed it again. I ended up using the other methods listed by other tutorials (including Adobe themselves). None of them even came close to being as effective. Glad I was able to find this video again!

[@billmorley3530]

I am so weary of overly chatty tutorials. Thank you for making these videos SHORT AND TO THE POINT!!

[@SecretEyeSpot]

Now I understand the theory you're applying. So this solution works if we apply our own pixelation to the image whereby the intended effect is to reduce by contrast the areas that are pixelated to the eye by blurring the background of the subject via masking, and then clarifying the essential attributes of the subject by subsequently sharpening just those areas

[@svetlanaklinova4876]

I didn’t get why and how use the brush tool :(

[@liberatecogitare3122]

Thank You. Tutorial video should be like this. Short and simple. You're the best.

[@MultiThunder1234]

Great, it works well for me, 3 pixels may be too little or too much, it really depends on the image quality you're working with and the degree of recovery required.

[@joshuamejia5835]

Why all of you put a blurry sample, but the one you use is not so blurry

[@caprimungeam662]

Captions are most helpful ... TY 😊

[@billydie17]

Just tutorial no trash talking.. tq so much

[@deyb12ab45]

Aside from Piximperfect , PHLEARN, Webflippy, Nemanja , I also learn from this Channel with regard to basic and photo Manipulation tutorials 😁🙏Keep on Uploading please , especially this short tutorials , it is indeed very helpful🙏

[@user-st8cv4im3e]

I didn't get this? Brush tool (paint back the area you would like to be sharpened)

[@vipspotlightviral]

Master at work. thank you.!!

[@Emmanuel_Ogwa]

Thanks it worked like magic ❤️‍🔥

[@williamvalderrama401]

What hardness did you have your brush setting? I had completely different results. It made my image look very high contrast

[@kyleschwartz.]

so simple but helped so much more than the unsharp mask!

[@lindarostoll1508]

Thank you great tutorial. It worked for me 🎉

[@WAVYU5]

Your cursor disappears,how do you get the brush tool like that because not only does mine NOT get that circumference,it starts erasing.pkease help

[@Argentarius11]

This did not work for me.

[@BasicShowTime]

Straight to the point, thank you man!

[@enhk]

Fast, efficient and precise tutorial, thank you so much~!

[@amrsho]

So nice, short clean and simple, yet very useful. Thanks for this tutorial, you deserve more subscribers!

[@lennyf1957]

Yeah, it's clean and simple if you know what you're doing. It's completely useless if you have very little experience..

[@msinsuranceadjuster4396]

thank you for the short tutorial. it is little bit work to my blurry image, but at least, it is better

[@scottkendall7789]

Sorry, but this doesn't work at all for me. And Have done everything you say to do in this video. I even wrote it down so I wouldn't miss any steps. but when it came to the layer mask and the brush tool and painting back what I want to be sharp, It doesn't do it.

[@GamePunk327]

it does for me

[@the_ante_meridiem]

go to mask layer.not on the normal layer

[@bradydefelice2944]

Maybe it also depends on the amount of pixels. Which can vary from different pictures.

[@ThroughTheLookingGlass33]

This issue is a bit old, but just in case anyone else has this problem. On the video, they used an inverted layer mask (on mac, hold option when clicking to create mask) perhaps thats why it wasnt working when you brushed over it.

[@koengreen2540]

the brush tool is not working for me

[@TFNE9426]

What are you doing with the brush? If just whites out the image when I apply it?

[@thesascuaci3826]

exactly

[@prenomnom7197]

It's a layer mask.
Black means MASKED, white means that it ALLOWS effects from layers above to be visible.
It's just like cutting a hole in a cutout. The white is the hole, the black is the cutout

[@andrzejdziuba]

i have same problem, his mask is black and when he brushed its makes this poits white, but my mask its white when i create it

[@memorywarrior8752]

I used this for a circuit board that was scanned but was very blurry and it worked amazingly. Well done.

[@user-ww5cd3ef1o]

This didnt work at all. i followed exactly. something is not being shown.

[@maxlo8342]

What shortcut button u press to have the brush tool have 2 circle?

[@WAVYU5]

Right!? He COMPLETELY SKIPPED that part as the cursor disappeared 🤔🤔🤔

[@andrzejdziuba]

hi, when i creat mask after change to linear light my mask its white and when using brush nothings changes, how to solve this

[@AnthonyLam]

Hi, you need your layer mask to be black. To do this click the layer mask, and press CMD|Ctrl + i then use a white brush to reveal again.

[@andrzejdziuba]

@@AnthonyLam ctrl + I was the key i was looking for, thank you so much 😁

[@ShamelaClarin]

what app did you use?

[@umarujalloh2962]

Thanks!

[@DaniFaghiri]

You are missing part " image -adjustment- invert" from your guide .

[@user-ys5rn9tk4n]

IT worked for me not full hd but satisfied

[@TheSeensca]

❤❤谢谢你

[@scottkendall7789]

How is your layer mask black and mine is white. how do I change it.

[@AnthonyLam]

Hello, Scott. Simply press Cmd|Ctrl + i to invert the mask to black.

[@masterbetacypto9740]

@@AnthonyLam Yep you forgot to include this, thanks.

[@sanaboy4380]

[@soutogfx]

Thanks bro

[@kev3d]

Nice and straightforward. No bullshit. Thank you.

[@nicklausgenuardi9569]

When I make my mask why is mine white and yours black? What am I doing wrong?

[@thecreation272]

Impressive! Thanks a lot

I like the tutorial. It's spot-on. Btw, who's your model? What a beauty =)

[@tisapublishing5163]

You are life saver!!

[@cynthiaes1000]

Thank you this helped me and it actually worked 💖

[@Iphonmm]

Thx for the trick. Anyway, what if I have 500 blurred images to sharpen? Can I do one of them and simply copy and paste the rest of the pictures ??

[@AnthonyLam]

Yes, you can save the steps as an action.

[@franciscolealgonzalez1333]

Fantastic!!!!!!!

[@Egzzyth]

Wtf the end ? U good bro ? Maybe show us how did u do that ?

[@vinksk2007]

[@estwern]

the methd works but we are being punked with the 'original' image. there is no way an imagine so blurred to be recovered by this technique in such a dramatic level.

[@moriahwallace8841]

Idk why it did not work for me. I don't know what I did wrong.
