Blurry image clean-up, Photoshop 7.0

Garrett,

I think your best bet would be Focus Magic <http://www.focusmagic.com/>. I have had it for many years and wouldn't want to be without it. I routinely use it on nearly every image I process. The focus is rarely "spot on" perfect, and almost always seems to benefit from at least one or two pixels of focusing. Be aware that focusing an image is entirely different from sharpening it.

It comes bundled as both a standalone form and in a Photoshop plug-in. The standalone version can also process scanned screened images to despeckle <http://www.focusmagic.com/exampledespeckle.htm> them.

Another vote for Focus Magic. It really does do magic, both for out-of-focus images and images with motion blur.

And another.....

If their website examples are real,thats pretty impressive. almost unbelievable it can pull that off.

It can and does. Just some very sophisticated digital signal processing, but it all boils down to magic. Here's an example:

That is much better

Let me correct my post slightly. On the images, I said "no sharpening"; I meant "no sharpening beyond the default capture sharpening applied in LR or ACR". These were severe crops at 100%. Obviously, either image would benefit from sharpening prior to final output, either to the Web or print.

Sounds tempting, I think I'll give it a shot when I get home.
