I just got a pic of me and my girlfriend. Unfortantly, it's blurry.
Ive tried sharpening filters, but that didnt help.
What do i need to do to make it less blurry?

You can't get a picture from where there wasn't one.

There's not a helluva lot you can do. Trust me, I leave my macro on all the time... and my shutter speed messes with my head, GETS INTO MY BRAIN. So my hard drive is wall papered with fuzzy pics.

You could try resizing it to make it smaller. That might help.

You can't make data where there is none. If the picture is really blurry then you can't unblur it.
The best filter you can try is the sharpen -> smart sharpen filter in Photoshop. Then you can try one of the three options - lens blur, guassian blur or motion blur, and it will attempt to compensate for each of those.
However sharpening only really increases the contrast between pixels and basically if the image is badly blurred to begin with you simply don't have the data to make a crisp picture. Sharpening is more about improving or changing the tone of what is there, not making somethign out of nothing.
