FAQ: Can you help deblur or improve license plate detail?





 


![Car-web-999.jpg](https://community.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/29450iE71503454B8C724B/image-size/large?v=1.0&px=999 "Car-web-999.jpg")


The Photoshop and Photoshop Elements forums receive many requests for help (for reasons specific to each request) with deblurring of car license plates or improving frame detail that may have been recorded via dash camera or other means.


 


While Photoshop and Photoshop Elements are able to improve these images, and in rare cases may be able to expose more detail, this kind of request should be directed to local law enforcement officials, and is not something we would normally assist with on these forums.
Hi

That is something we do not assist with on these forums. You will need to seek help from law enforcement. See this thread from Adobe Staff: [FAQ: Can you help deblur or improve license plate detail?](https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2636455)

seek and tell are still required.

see here: <https://docs.lvgl.io/latest/en/html/overview/file-system.html#use-drivers-for-images> "the vehicle identification number (vin) is how [car insurance companies](https://getjerry.com/car-insurance) determine trim level, and sometimes their systems aren't updated with the latest trim levels. however, most of the time they are so close that it **will not make a significant difference in the premium or claim payout.** 

to be on the safe side, let [state farm](https://getjerry.com/car-insurance/state-farm-car-insurance-quote) know about the problem and have the claim re-evaluated. if they ask for proof, you can send them a copy of the registration or a picture of the vin on the car. 

if you are concerned with your service from state farm, it may be time to find a new insurance provider. give the [jerry](https://getjerry.com/signup) app a try! jerry gathers competitive quotes from over 50 insurance companies for free."

contact ford: call ford's customer assistance center at 800-392-3673 to register a complaint. if they cannot resolve your complaint, ask for an arbitration package for the dispute settlement board (see below).

dispute settlement board: this is ford's arbitration program for reimbursement of repairs or buyback of a lemon. if you get a bad decision, you can reject it and take ford to court. if you accept it, ford must abide. both the consumer and ford submit comments and records to the board by mail. in most cases, the board will not hear a complaint outside the express warranty - the length of which varies for the powertrain, emissions & other components. important: the consumer is allowed to rebutt ford's comments. this can improve your chances and you should take advantage. if you have not received a dispute settlement board arbitration package from ford customer assistance center, write to dispute settlement board, po box 5120, southfield mi 48086-5120.

do you have any feedback on the difficulties i am having doing this and any suggestions as to how i should be approaching this problem?

perhaps there is something i’m clearly misunderstanding that can be addressed in a reference article or section of the documentat… Please post your code so that we can help you. I used [an automatic photoshop script](http://arnaumarch.com/en/sprites.html) once and worked well.


The concept is : 


* Each portion is a different image.
* Each portion (and so, each images) must be in the same folder w/o any other images.
* Run the script indicating the folder and some parameters (size, css name, etc...).
* The script does : 


	1. Merge all images into one with the size you indicated.
	2. Generate the CSS file


In your case, if you modify one image, you regenerate the global image and the CSS via the script and... that's it. Maybe you'll need to copy/paste the CSS in yours if you don't want to use the generated one.


Notes :


I tried it with a few files and worked great. Then, I tried like ~600 pictures and then, you'll need a goooood CPU and patience ;) In this case, don't use it.
