A family of physical correction filters is described. Each filter is designed to correct image content of a photographed scene of limited resolution and includes a first filter element with a pinhole through which light passes to a differential amplifier. A second filter element through which light passes through one or more openings, whose geometric configuration is a function of the cause of the resolution loss included. The light, passing through the second filter element, is also supplied to the differential amplifier whose output is used to activate an optical display or recorder to reproduce a photograph or display of the scene in the original photograph or display of the scene in the original photograph with resolution which is significantly greater than that characterizing the original photograph
