ok  here is a question I am embarrassed to ask but! 
  Can we unsharp, high pass etc... the pictures to bring detail out?  I haven't been, don't remember why.  As long as it is for the blurred, destroyed areas. It is allowed right?

Hi BA,

We would prefer you not use sharpening, high pass etc. I have seen some that has helped, but if the photo needs sharpening, Quality Control will do it on the final inspection. What you can do is bring out the contrast through other means and that will help. If a photo is badly blurred or destroyed, do one of the sharpening methods may cause more noise and bring in some unwanted color changes. The bad thing is that once you have made those adjustments and upload the photo and it gets rejected; you can't undo the changes and will have to start over.

Thanks,

Margie
