I don't have a macro lens so I have to take a photo from a distance or my close focus objects are always blurry.
Once the picture is taken I put it in a paint program (I use abandonware PSP, I don't know what Pixlr is like) I zoom in afterwards (crop out the unwanted edges), blur around the object of focus and sharpen the object a little.
It isn't as good as having a macro lens, but it certainly helps!
(Another thing I do when trying to trick my auto focus is to briefely put my hand out directly in front of a small object. The camera will focus on my hand's distance, then put everything at that distance in focus. I snap the shutter quick and volia, no losing focus on tiny objects!)
I guess once I get a camera I'll have to get an editing software as well. My MacBook doesn't have image editing software so I just use online ones like Pixlr. A macro lens would be cool but it's nice to know that editing the blur, focus, and sharpness of an image can get a similar effect.
Thanks for the auto focus tip! I'll keep that in mind next time I take some photographs. I don't know it it will work with my phone's camera but I'll give it a try.
