Picture Editing

compared to my T610 phone camera, that pic looks awesome. but I think when it is taken you are pretty much stuck with what ya got. or at least I haven't found anything for blurry pics either.

What kind of camera did you use? Cleaning the glass and not using the flash might be a good idea. Also do you have any programs to edit pictures?

It all depends. Did you use a digital camera? If so, the highest quality pic is on the flash memory card. If you use a program to transfer pics from the memory card, it sometimes resizes them and does other things you don't want. So hopefully you have the raw pic from your cam. I would try this:

1) Copy the pic directly to your computer.
2) Crop it down a little. You should try and cut out most of the surrounding area because the fish are such a small part of the pic.
3) You'll have to experiemnt with the zooms and resizing. So make several copies of your picture files, and pic the best.
4) The edit your pic, you can use paint, photoshop, and mircrosoft has a picture editor that comes with office sometimes. So, pick one of those and try your luck.

Its really hard to give exact steps to fix your pic. Obviosuly it needs to be cropped some, but the rest is experiemnting. The pic from a digital camera is usually much large than the one you have posted. Work with the original and you should have something better. Post any further questions. Maybe a few of the edited pics if you need help.

Here is a little larger view. I copped it and increased the size by 50%.

For best results, you need to edit the original pic. The one you posted on here is a jpg which is a compressed file with lower quality. You camera should produce a bitmap (bmp) or tiff file that is about a megabyte. This is the one you want to edit. Dell has good user support and an online forum that might give you some more help. I have never used a dell camera so I can't give you ver yexact advice.

I'd suggest using the "Unsharp Mask" feature a couple of times. Don't go over 50% with a radius of around 3 pixels each time. Run the filter once, if you need more, try it again. If you do it more than a couple of times, you'll get a halo around things that looks a bit weird.
Be sure to save a copy of the file first, so if you don't like it at all, you aren't stuck with it.

I've attached your later pic with the above done 3 times. You don't get a lot more detail, but you get less fuzz.

Here is a side by side comparison, again with the Unsharp Mask run 3 times.
Right side = before, left side = after

Here is what I got:

I dint do that great of job because I was rushing it. I spend about 5 min out of the 30min I would normaly spend. Also what kind of camera did you use? (__MP)

Another minute and here is what I got:
