sharpening really is best described as a way to preserve sharpness that’s already in a photo when moving it from one medium to another. So it’s often used before printing a digital image, for example.
But if you try to sharpen a blurry photo you pretty much just end up with artifacts where it artificially invents contrast based on a spec of dust or a wrinkle in the original print, etc…
