I've done a fab friends starbook for a friend but not put any pictures in it yet. I've got several great fun posing pictures of him and friends but most are blurry - any ideas for how I could actually use them?

if not he's getting a book to add his own photos too (I've got 'til Friday!)

How blurry? Can you attach an example?

Some ideas may be to use a sharpen filter, or if they are really blurry, how about a fun and funky artistic filter?

Or, like you said, let him add the photos.

Yes, if you can post one of the photos so we can take a look. Here's a tip...select the background leaving the subject unselected and gaussian blur the background. This tricks the eye into thinking the subject is in focus.

If they are really blurry, you can always use them to make transparent backgrounds or accents for your layouts. In other words, you make it look like you intended them to happen like that! You had it in mind all of the time, right? (wink)

Especially guys - think the photo tricks look cool.

There are some really great ideas already posted I can't wait to try them myself.

Sometime I change my picture to chalk drawing if it isn't quite right.
Play around with distortion too.

good luck :dancingchicken:
