This tutorial with guide you through how to sharpen some of your blurry photos.

difference closeup

1.	Open your blurred photo. I am using this image.

2.	Press Ctrl + J to duplicate your background layer

3.	Go to Filter » Other » High Pass. You may want to set this higher depending on how blurry your image is, as my image isn't too bad I am going to use 5px.

4.	Set the layers blending mode to Hard Light and lower the opacity to 30%.

5.	This is the unblurred version. This shows the difference between the original and sharpened.

Set up an action to perform this operation, or you could use something like IrfanView.

Are there any online photo editors that have the features needed to do this?
