    I tried to try this... I ran into trouble on step one. What do you
    mean by "drag a copy"? I tried making a duplicate layer, but it was
    opaque and obliterated the original image, so that was wrong... 

    Meanwhile, the trick a photographer told me was to go to filter, to
    sharpen, then to "unsharp mask". Set radius fairly low, then play
    with "amount". On a really out-of-focus shot, increasing "radius"
    may help. I use this on nearly every shot to some degree. (PLUG: see
    the results in the process shots of my articles in the brand-new
    issue of Art Jewelry. I did NOT take the cover art... colors are all
    wrong, but, hey, I'm on there!)
