Question

Blurry pics not changing with editing

I have several pictures that I got from the negative roll and using the FilmScanner app and light machine, I was able to get the pictures onto my computer.  Now, trying to make these pictures look someone decent is really challenging.  I have tried using high pass and unsharp mask with no luck.  Not sure what I need to do and am running out of patience to figure it out on my own.  The picture titled "raw" is what I got from the FilmScanner.  "group6" is what I got after messing around with it in photoshop.  It's still very blurry....or is it something else?  Help please!

Can you see the film grain? I can't here. If not, the film hasn't been held flat enough - or the scanner isn't properly focused.

 

While it's true that analog film and older optics had nowhere near the resolution of modern digital equipment, this looks out of focus to me.
