How do I sharpen an image in MS Paint for Windows 11?

I've been told that the function was available via an "effects" tab in previous versions, but I can't find said tab in the new one. Surely no functionality has been REMOVED, right?

Hello Faic,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community and I'll be glad to assist you today.
Unfortunately, MS Paint or Paint 3D does not have a feature to Sharpen images.
Instead, you can use the Microsoft Photos application to achieve it.
1. Select the photo you would like to sharpen and open it via Microsoft Photos.
2. Select Edit in the menu bar.
3. Click on Adjustments.
4. In the right pane, scroll down and adjust the sharpness of the image.

I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I will be happy to help you further.
Best regards,
Gunasekar N
