Using Windows Photos' "Enhance" feature can be a quick and easy way to improve the appearance of old, blurry photos on your PC. The "Enhance" tool in Windows Photos leverages AI-driven algorithms to automatically adjust and improve your images, including sharpening, color correction, and noise reduction. Here's how it can help and some tips:
- Automatic Improvement: It uses AI to analyze your photo and apply enhancements like sharpening, brightness, contrast, and color adjustments.
- Blurry Photos: While it can sometimes fix old blurry photos, its effectiveness depends on how severe the blur is. It works best with minor issues rather than heavy blurring.
- Quick Fix: It's very fast and requires no extra software—just open your photo in Windows Photos and click "Enhance."
How to Fix Old Blurry Photos:
1. Open your blurry or old photo in Windows Photos.
2. Click on the "Edit" button (pencil icon).
3. Select "Enhance" (magic wand icon) from the toolbar.
4. Windows will automatically apply enhancements. You can toggle before/after to see the difference.
5. Save the improved photo.
