If you have a noise reduction tool, please try it before using FocalBlade. Also correct the colors, brightness and contrast of these photos before using FocalBlade. Even if you don’t do that, FocalBlade can still help, but you have to do some manual adjustments in FocalBlade to get a better result. One method is to use FocalBlade’s Soften slider from the Manual tab to suppress noise or at least keep it from getting too visible when sharpening. With the Shadows slider from the Fix tab sheet you can avoid sharpening the shadows where most of the noise is located. You can also reduce the value of the Surface Sharpen slider on the Manual tab or set the Surface combo box on the Auto tab sheet to a more moderate setting to keep the noise down. If your image is too noisy or contains too many artifacts, there is no tool that can help you. Then the only way to improve image quality is to size it down to e.g. 50% or even 25% of its original size. 9. I want to sharpen some of my JPG files again w
