The technique of image sharpening which allows high resolution images to be produced from ground-based telescopes is applied to the problem of photometry in crowded field regions - such as close to the cores of globular clusters. The conditions for image sharpening are discussed and the technique is demonstrated using simple objects (close double stars). Preliminary results from image sharpening of M15 are presented.
