#UnSharp
I think the source of your 2023 date is the ai-slop: you enhanced an unsharp original pic using an AI editor (it replaced the first unsharp signature at the top, 'Sundar Pichai, Google', with 'San Francisco, September 26, 2023') and made ai-slop based post
So dissapointing you're a bot :(

Having seen the news:
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

thought I'd share a cilia movie captured at UCL GOS ICH with Eriomina Shahaj & Vanesa Papastavrou using simple DIC on a Nikon Ti2 with DIC at 60x1.4. 500 fps here slowed down 20 times. Processed with Nikon's denoiseAI and an unsharp mask in Fiji.

if you want to make a similar image, follow these easy steps:

resize noise blur resize blur noise resize blur resize resize noise blur resize unsharp mask, halftone.

[Unsharp Mask] the MVP for scans. You wouldn't even be able to tell my scanner is from like... 2016 or so

having tried exactly this:

you can get an almost identical effect using box/gaussian blur & one instance of sideways directional blur (equivalent to the VHS effect of the chroma channel being half width)

don't forget to add a thick coat of unsharp mask set to a high radius to complete the effect

I found that most of it was in the lighting. I tried to emulate how old film had to be lit in order to make things visible, so super bright lights and super low ISO(or exposure in blender) then I added some dehancer for the film emulation, and a light unsharp mask on top of that.

Odeio thumb do YouTube que os cara bota um unsharp mask lá na casa do caralho e fica mega saturado/poroso

really had to crank up the unsharp filter to get that one through bluesky’s compression relatively unscathed

AI is a very very unsharp term. What is produced under that term is no real AI.

These harpoons (referred to as 'Blades') serve as projectiles, melee weapons, AND tools.

It might something like using unsharp mask in editing software might help. It could be that the camera/phone is moving and your zoomed in. When I take photos properly I actually have a Bowens Gemini studio flash and because of that the shutter speed is very fast on my old Nikon.

they put ocarina of time through an unsharp mask filter

Ooh what plugin?

So far I load into gimp and do color correcting, cropping/rotating to fix scan issues, then the tedious work of healing brushing or clone brushing out dust, hairs, scratches on the scanner glass, and sometimes film damage. Then apply an unsharp mask and save out large and small

if you wanted to make someone's face look like they smoke several packs a day we already had a tool for that called "unsharp mask", you don't need genAI for it.

I usually do minimal post processing on my film scans, just normal darkroom stuff (brightness, contrast, unsharp mask, etc), but I've been stepping on these pretty hard. Not my best negatives. Think it might be more a photographer issue than a processing issue, but not sure.

I am experimenting more with painting and being less "line dependant" (so, painting over my sketch and stuff), I went back and tried old things I used to do like chromatic aberration + unsharp mask :3!

I have access to a bad (i.e. legible but somewhat unsharp) .pdf, which I'll happily send you. Let me know where!

also very rarely like the look of local contrast/"clarity". I do like a tiny bit of regular old unsharp mask though I often regret it way too far down the pipeline to change it.

Novel device-independent protocol enables precise characterization of quantum measurement sharpness and incompatibility through entanglement-assisted sequential quantum random access codes with decoder communication, achieving significantly tighter bounds in photonic experiments.
