Cleaning up a picture to focus better.... photoshop help

I have taken a picture of myself with my daughter and it is off focus. Nice one with both of us looking into the camera (which is rare, she is so hyper).
Anyway I wanted to know if you guys know how to clean up this image it is out of focus.

Tricky because of how out of focus it is. I usually do a little high pass filter in Nikon Capture NX and apply it only to the face to get a bit more sharpness and detail, but unfortunately the blur is too extreme in your pic for that. Looks like motion blur on your daughter's face too, which makes it even more difficult. She's very pretty though. smile

i'm not sure that you can because it is already out of focus. I'm not an expert on photoshop or paint shop pro though.

Thanks... I still don't know how to clear this picture. I tried to clear it up a bit using my photoshop program but when I do it too much it gets worse. pout I really like that pic. I also have another program, illustrator, although I am not too good at it. Any help on how to is greatly appreciated. Thanks
