Id there anyway, not necessarily for dpc challenges, to fix a slightly out of focus picture? I've tried to sharpen it but it does something entorely differnt to the picture. Something like making it more grainy

The short answer is "no", really, but in fact you may be able to get a little apparent sharpness back using unsharp mask and playing with the radius and amount to see what works best.
Set the threshold to a non-zero value to avoid raising the noise in smooth areas of the image (try a setting of 3-5 to start).
The result should look better than what you started with, but you can't really re-create detail that was not captured (due to being out of focus) so don't expect a miracle.

Depending on the photo, you can also clone with a small brush and a hard edge with limited success. Good luck!

| There is always FixerLabs FocusFixer. I've never tried it, but maybe it may work for you. From their web page, it sounds like you can try it for 20 days and/or 20 uses. |

Hey, it looks like somebody finally offered a commercial product based on deconvolution I'm guessing that's the technique they are using). This may actually work quite a bit better than USM. thanks Eddy, was unaware of that one!
