Questions: unblur a face in a photo
Can it make a blurry face sharp?
It can make a slightly soft face crisper: eyes, lashes, brows and hair take the sharpening and skin is spared. It cannot draw a face that the blur erased. Detail that was never recorded cannot be recovered by this page or any honest one; tools that appear to do it are generating a face, which may not be the person's.
Is a face model used?
No. No face is generated, swapped or restored by a model. The portrait preset is a measured sharpen with a high threshold, so pores and skin texture pass through untouched, and a strong edge mask, so the pass goes to eyes and hair.
How do I aim it at the face?
The Sharpen station opens with an ellipse region placed where a face usually sits in a portrait. Move it with the Centre and Width controls or pick Outside to sharpen everything but the face. The region is stored as a share of the frame.
Is the photo uploaded?
No. Everything runs in this tab.
