Paint.NET is a graphics creation and photo-editing application designed as an alternative to Microsoft Paint. Paint.NET features a far more complex range of capabilities than the built-in Windows alternative, including many tools that professional-grade photo-editing software such as Adobe Photoshop features. If you want to fix a blurred photograph, then you can use the "Sharpen" tool in Paint.NET. Sharpen will not fix a badly blurred image, but if there is slight blurring, then sharpen should fix the edges enough to make the image presentable.
