Photoshop will end blurry images forever

I can never see that happening. Once Out-of Focus Always out of focus.
Adobe are a bit like Canon really. Juice you up with a story that never comes to fruition. Like Canons 200-400mm lens. They can't make it. The design is faulty.

As with any Photoshop product its going to be expensive , surely a cheaper option is to use a TRIPOD!

Don't get your hopes up too much about it, I'd hope that it'll be good enough to recover a useable web sized image from one that's a bit blurred, but I really doubt it'll be any better than that with complex detail like bird feathers.

I Agree with Geoff !
Topaz claims to do the same, but I tried it as well. I thought it was me!! I'm really not impressed with the claims.
I think you have to have the exact details of the source and movement of the blurr - was it shaken, stirred, moved up then down, left to right - the list goes on, but you need to know the direction etc. then the software 'works' backwards to correct it.
I've decided to learn how to use my camera properly - it's easier than having to use this type of software !!

I have used the most expensive photo editing programs and they transformed my rubbish photos in to not quite so rubbish phots, far better to try to improve them in the field.

All the best Steve

What do you mean by that Dennis

Please don't think I'm bragging - I get very few out of focus shots.
Without any softwear on the computer.

Just --- A tripod, Remote Controller and set to Manual Focus -- Try it

Hi Squishy (Adam) Last report I read was that Canon can Not make the 20-400 lens, it was a dream.
Can't remember where I read it though. A friend of mine went up to London the other week and a canon rep told him the same thing. Forget the lens it can't be made.
Best to make enquiries with Canon to see if that is correct.
I'm not concerned as it's way way way out of my pocket.

I put my 7D on a tripod, remote release and the groom moved, so out of focus.
Then the Bride moved, out of focus, then the Reverend moved, out of focus.
That happened to me the other week. Best shot ruined on a tripod.

So a Tripod & remote release are great on non moveing objects.
In my book it's best to hand hold, with either high iso or speed and take the shot at 6 to 8 fps, you'll get at least two in focus that way.
