Title: Adobe working on a deblurring tool
Post by: stevebedder on October 11, 2011, 09:39:06 AM
Adobe showed this new deblurring tool that they are working on at the Adobe MAX 2011 event in LA recently.....

http://www.petapixel.com/2011/10/10/sneak-peek-at-the-crazy-image-deblurring-feature-coming-to-photoshop/

The videos not the best but going by the reaction of the audience it looks like it could be a useful tool.

:D

Looks amazing.  :tup: I can imagine that when it comes out in a future PS we will see loads of pictures with altered DOF.

Not from me - unless they make Photoshop affordable  :'(

I just knew if I kept my collection of horribly blurry shots, eventually someone would come up with a solution! :2funny:

Yes, it's called the recycle bin!  :2funny:

Hollywood's been using this tool for decades!  ;)

And there's quite a few image tools that feature contrast enhancing de-blurring - not particularly effective and rubbish in areas of low contrast subtle detail (unsurprisingly!). But I'm sure there'll be plenty of takers for a "one click DOF correction tool" however poorly it works!  ::)

I prefer to think of them as Diamonds in the Rough awaiting the proper Polish.  :legit:

I didn't bother to watch the video because I can't afford Photoshop. People are now talking about altering depth of field; Photoplus has had a depth of field tool since at least version X3.

Works well, but it's very slow.

Basically it analyses the picture and uses some heavy maths to figure out what direction and by how much you shook the camera.  Then it undoes that.

Would be far easier (and more accurate) to put an accelerometer in the camera and stamp the info into the exif.  Or use the one in the VR system.  Hang on, anybody know a patent lawyer....?
