Possible new feature for next Photoshop
It seems this "Removal of blur" filter could possibly be included in a
future Photoshop release. http://gizmodo.com/5848371/photoshop...y-pics-forever -- Regards, Savageduck |

Given that as many photo's are often ruined by being out of focus, or commonly focused on the wrong spot with many people not knowing how to use autofocus properly, I'd say the latter claim is fanciful unless they can get another filter to fix all those out of focus shots too!

So if you twist the camera rather than jerking it sideways all bets are off. The problem is called blind deconvolution and solutions have been available for a price (financial and computational) for decades. What is new is that modern PCs are now powerful enough to do it. This has been available for forensic use since about 1980 using Maximum Entropy deconvolution (and related non-linear methods). See for example the page belonging to MEDC. http://www.maxent.co.uk/example_1.htm Although the page is dated 1999 I know that image originated in 1980-1. You can also find a copy of it on the back page of the Times (ca 1980). The technique originated in astronomy where getting the sharpest image out of finite apertures really counts. It came into its own when the Hubble telescope was found to be afflicted with severe spherical aberration and computational deconvolution was needed for all its images. They also used the same method to work out the formulation for the corrective optics pack that was installed in HST service mission 1. Regards, Martin Brown |

CS5 updated ACR with a new & improved RAW process engine very different from the old 2003 version. CS5 brought new features, such as content aware fill and healing were added. These were not possible to include in earlier versions. CS5 is also full cross platform 64bit capable. CS6, CS7, and on will be no different. There will be updates and upgrades and they will not be free. There is a cost to software development at that level, and that has to be recovered at some stage. -- Regards, Savageduck |

of hard-earned money that drives so many to pursue their hobby "If only I had an xyz, I could do better." Adobe cashes in by indulging their fantasy I can't disagree. I'd rather spend my time/money on the front end of the process. Equipment, location, composition, etc. In fact, I'm rather dismayed by the change in perceptions of what constitutes good photography in this post digital world. Too often I see terribly garish HDR shots being passed off as good photography. A recent issue of Outdoor Photography had one of the columnists patting himself on the back about how he'd transformed his admittedly mediocre shot of a lone pine tree with some low sun backlighting into a "WOW" shot with HDR. It was hideous! Looked more like a LSD flashback gone bad or a corpse in clown makeup. Sorry, but a crappy photo is a crappy photo, regardless of one's "process". nb -- vi ....the heart of evil! |
