Can sharpening fix a blurry photo?

Sharpening enhances existing edges and can help mildly soft images, but it can't recover detail from a badly out-of-focus photo.

Will sharpening add noise or artifacts?

At high amounts, sharpening can slightly exaggerate noise — start around 50% and adjust to taste.

Sharpening analyzes every pixel, so very large photos may take a few extra seconds to process.
