Here’s the real secret, the one that separates digital artists from digital barbarians: Save a copy of the original. Work on a duplicate layer. Always.
Because sometimes, after all this effort, your photo still looks like a drunk raccoon took it. And that’s okay. Not every blurry picture can be fixed. Some are just destined to be abstract wallpaper.
But when it works? Oh, when it works, you’ll feel like a god of pixels. You’ll post the photo on social media and people will say, “Wow, great shot!” And you’ll smile, knowing the truth: you wrestled a blur into submission using nothing but a mouse and a dream.
