1160688 2010-12-11 09:35:00 Hi all,

I have an image of a nasal spray in which quality is slightly blurry and looks rather unattractive. Is there any tool or plug-in for photoshop that can improve the clarity of it?

The link to the image is here: sunshinepharmacy.co.nz

Better?

Did not spend long on it. PM me if you want a better copy.

1160691 2010-12-11 19:09:00 Looks OK to me. With shopping images like that, it shows you the product, which is all you need, doesn't have to be a work of art, I've bought things from pharmacies online and I just look to see if they have the right one I'm after and how much it is. Couldn't really care how good the pic is. pctek (84)
1160692 2010-12-11 19:34:00 Think you would almost have to have a camera with a macro lens (for taking close up photo's) to get things clearer and if the bottle is round, the front of the label will be in focus while the back will be slightly out ... compensate by using different "F" stops on your camera to change depth of field. Don't think you're going to have much luck with Photshop unfortunately. SP8's (9836)

Take a new, better photo.

Add a www. to the front of the URL and it'll be fine.

1160695 2010-12-12 18:54:00 Unfortunately you are never going to get a decent image from that link. The image is only 72dpi 400px X 300px and resampling up never works properly. Obviously the original studio shot would have been taken in a far higher resolution so you would be better trying to obtain that. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear as the saying goes especially from a compressed jpeg image. And as Agent_24 said never believe what you see on TV. You can improve the shot only if it is going to be substantially reduced in size for web use. The image as it is is crap. fnphoto (2434)
