Just to recommend Topaz Sharpen AI for those photos or images that may be a little soft or definitely blurry. It has saved me quite a few times. I'm not associated with them at all. I've just used in a session and putting it out there as a suggestion if you haven't heard of it.

I like best the results from letsenhcance.io. The file sharpened with Topaz needed further adjustments (contrast, color), while letsenhance.io enlarged the image and automatically made all the necessary adjustments.
On the other side, I'm not a big fan of subscription or credit models, but the results may be worth it.

I use Let's Enhance but only for upscaling and keep the other options switched off as I prefer to keep the original colours of the image I am working on. It does a cracking job of image enlargement though.

Makes sense. I started the trial with 10 credits and used 8 in a single photo. All those switches turned "on" consumed a credit each, I guess.

Another alternative, and the first AI Sharpener I heard of, is Remini, which I have used on the go. The mobile version lets you work a small number of photos a month, but the paid version is not as expensive as the Web version (25 dollars a month). Very good results but about 30% size decrease if you start with a bigger photo.
Anyway, it's great to have all this alternatives. So much better than "sharpen edges" and high pass filters.
