How to use

Sharpening a blurry photo rescues faces and details that were lost in the haze, and the process works by uploading the old photo with the prompt in Gemini, in NanoBanana or in ChatGPT. 1. Scan or photograph the picture as still as possible, in good light, so you do not add more shake to the original image. 2. Open the image AI you chose and send the attached photo together with the sharpening prompt. 3. Ask it to define the contours of the faces, the eyes and the hair, correcting motion blur without creating hard edges. 4. Make it clear that the AI should only sharpen what is already there, without inventing features that could not be seen. 5. Generate a few variations and pick the most natural one, avoiding the plastic or over processed look. 6. Save the result in high resolution so you can see the moment clearly. Final tip: it is moving to see a scene that was lost in the blur come back; if a face comes out different, generate it again, because a true likeness matters more than sharpness.
