    All right. So, sharpening would require going back three saved images and then re-working from there. However, I did increase the contrast, which I hope mitigates some of the blurriness. I have also made the sea bluer.

    I think I am ready to give this a completed page. Anything else I should fix first?

    Well, let's see, to be honest it does have a certain dreamy quality so it may not be worth all that effort to try sharpening it. However, in Gimp, if you can select the area you want to sharpen it has a pretty decent feature that I use quite often. Just select and then Filters>Enhance>Sharpen. There are a few different options there but just play around with it and see if that works for ya. If not, go with the dreaminess

    I did try that, but I used clothify on the image earlier which means the cloth is what gets sharpened, not the image. I could go back and fix the image before I used that, but, I admit, I do like the dreaminess. Thank you, though!
