In one of the research labs here at Johns Hopkins I'm working on cleaning up photos taken with a high-speed camera. The software I have available is Adobe Photoshop 6.0. I've been working on it for a couple weeks, and its really hard to get a clean and clear picture free of any static and graininess. Anybody familiar with this product have some suggestions?
 
*bump* In the hopes that someone knows more about editing pictures than I do.
 
They're coming out pretty fuzzy, and the only tools I've found in Photoshop to focus it just make it really grainy, and still don't define the edges of the objects in the picture well.
 
You don't say which sharpening filter you use or whether you're using the sharpening tool. In my experience the unsharp mask and sharpen edges filter work better than the sharpen and sharpen more filters. Unsharp mask has different setting you can fiddle with as well.
 
I've used the Unsharp Mask, but it doesn't seem to work very well. To adjust it enough that it makes a visible difference, it causes the picture to get really grainy. I've tried all the Sharpen tools, adjusting the levels and curves, and the Noise tools. These are the only relevent tools I've found, but they still aren't enough to bring the picture into focus. All I'm able to do is make the picture a bit more focused but with a distorting graininess, and then smooth out that graininess by returning it to be out-of-focus.

Get your Blues Brothers quotes right ;)

Are you sure? After Elwood says this Jake says "Let's go" and points forward, because Elwood was sitting in the driver's seat as always so he would start the car.

Anyway, any bright ideas for my Photoshop problems? What my thoughts are is that pictures taken with a high-speed camera just can't be fixed, but I want to see if someone else knows some secrets that I haven't found yet.
 
Yeah, then it's probably the camera, or the lighting or how steady you hold the camera. Photoshop isn't magic.
