I've heard this said before, but it doesn't sound right to my ears. If a photo isn't sharp to begin with, how can Photoshop make it sharp? Some sort of algorithm makes boundaries between different colours more distinct, but I can't see how the photo can be made sharper than the original especially as the act of scanning seems to degrade the image in the first place.
