Does anyone know of a filter/plugin that will correct a digital photo and take the blur out of the photo and make it clear looking?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Neat Image may be able to help http://www.neatimage.com in the advanced filter presets there's one that filters and sharpens strongly out of focus images.  They have a demo that works but it only lets you save the image as a jpg.  I think it's worth a try...  :)

I have been given several digital photos taken by different family members of an important event.  Many of them are very blurry and I want to take the blur out.  It looks like the wind swept over the whole photo.

I see Coral PSP Photo X2 has many features so I downloaded it this morning.  Maybe it will fix them.

Thanks for all your tips.  I will check into those also.

An out of focus and/or blurry photo cannot be made clear - sorry.
You can make a sharp image blurry, but not a blurry image sharp - the information simply isn't there, regardless of what you see them do in movies (which aggravates me to no end!).

At the VERY best you can try different methods of any version of "Sharpen" filters, but what you'll end up with will start to look like blurry line drawings.

I wish I had better news, or advice for you - again, sorry!
