Abstract

Nowadays everyone has the ability to capture, store and transfer the digital image. In forensics, unlike other physical evidences, image shows the authenticity of real objects and scene. Sometimes in criminal activities photographs are taken by any witness but due to their blurred appearance they become neglected as evidence. These days many sophisticated image-processing software’s are available that has led not only to increase the cases of manipulated or faked photographs but also emerged as problem solver to the similar images. Various softwares which works as image enhancement improves the quality of digital image that can help to retrieve the useful information from blurred image. The current paper deals with review of literature reported related to image enhancement or de-blurring of digital images of both types i.e. motion blur and out-of-focus blur using Adobe Photoshop Software.
