As far as I know, there is no magical nor psychic tool available in any
shape or form.
- In general, reducing then increasing resolution won't do you any good
but
wasting time and imaging.
Yes, you can use tool's like sharpen to trick your eyes, tool to remove
or
reduce the blurry area (or specific color around the edge) etc. some
company
often give a fancy name "FOCUS" to make $$$
- Automatically? the only automatically I know is learning the basic of
photography.
- Blur, learn to set the shutter speed
- Sharp/Soft, learn to set the camera to get good IQ
- And you may need GOOD LENS to capture good IQ
And while waiting to improve your photography, saving $$$ for
top_of_the_line_LENS I may be able to give few hints to try.
1. Don't mess with the resolution, especially reducing then increasing
which
won't do you no good but wating your valuable time that I think you should
use to learn the real trick.
2. You may try using
- "Contrast" to boost the color's
- Combination of "Level", "Curves", "Color Balance" and similar. I
forget
the names of the commands, but there are few basic commands with option
to adjust individual color's which you may be able to use to reduce the
blurry edge.
- You may need to learn to use Layer and Masking these are real handy
combination which I almost never go without layer and mask.
That's about it, and you don't see me mention anything about RESOLUTION
which to me it ain't that im****tant. Or I usually only work with good
hi-rez image to give me the option to do real retouching instead of fixing
the poor or damaged image.
