hey guys
i'm new to photoshop so i'm not familiar with the commands etc... i have figured out how to make text blurry by doing numerous web searches. however, i have not figured out how to make text un blurry...
i was working with a jpg image with some blurry text and i'm not sure how to correctly highlight that section of the image and just change the text to make it legible.
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Without seeing it I could only guess, you might be able to select it by colour range (if it's all one colour) or even the magic wand might do it, if you can post the pic we'll take a look and be able to give better advice. Wayne |

If you just want to select it, use the Pen Tool or Extract filter.
When sharpening, the problem is that when you apply blur to an object, you literally lose information, and it can be really tricky to retrieve. Sometimes even impossible. If it's just a logo or something, you can always try to figure out how it looked from the beginning and draw something similar with the pen tool on top. You could also use Smart Sharpen or Levels (Image -> Adjustments -> Levels..., pull the black and white arrow towards the center). Or combine all three.
As you didn't post an example, I can just guess, but I think combining Levels to create sharp (yet too smooth) edges, and then improving it with the pen tool would be the best. You could also search for a font that resembels the original, write your word and use parts of that in the process.
