I just watched Alias last week and I was curious about the software that they used in order to enhance a blurry image. they used the term render. what is a photo renderer anyway and does it really exist?

Unfortunately there is no software in the world (afaik) that can unblur an image (remember the Hubble telescope?)................what can be done though is to use 'filters' or a selection of filters (known as a macro) to alter the image (eg a 'sharpen' filter will increase the contrast between dark and light areas giving the effect of a shrper image.........by the way modern TV's use a similar process to fool your eye into thinking the image is sharper than it really is).

Rendering is just redrawing the image with the effect (most good software will have a preview field to show before and after (usually on a muc reduced scale) before the actual render takes place.
 
i've seen this in the X-files show and many forensics/ espionage TV shows and movies. i do not know anything about this technology, but i have worked with photoshop many years and from what my gut is telling me this is 100% bullsh*t. you cannot enhance details to a level that high from a picture that never had those details in them. i'm sure you could enhance it a bit, but not THAT much.

that would be magic and is impossible to do. when i see this stuff on TV and movies like the show Alias with sydney briskow (the young woman who plays Electra in that movie Daredevil) i am just thinking to myself how full of sh*t it is.

your example doesn't convince me because anybody can just pixilate an original and fool somebody into thinking it was a "before" picture
 
Ahh....... I didn't see your photo attachment till now..........

......as I said before nothing in the world can unblur a blurred photo (as there is no other detail other than the blurred detail in such a photo) and as ekÆsine says that example of yours is pure bullshit........and your example isn't even blurred (by blurred I mean out of focus) its a pixelated low resolution copy of the original.........lacking any possible detail with which to work with.
