De-bluring wind blown artifacts

[Jakub]

I have a favorite landscape image which unfortunately has wind blown artifacts (leaves, small tree branches).
I don't have any experience with any de-bluring software, if it is even within the functional parameters of that
or any software on the market. I would need to apply this in a localized part of the image, not the whole image.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Good luck with that.  PS has motion blur reduction, but it's probably not going to be totally effective.  That's a difficult problem. 
The best solution would be multiple images.  Perhaps blurring is present in parts of some images and not others.

In PSCC
Filter|Sharpen|Shake Reduction

there is also a reasonably inexpensive plugin called Focus Magic which may be of some utility but as noted, it's a (very) difficult problem w/ current software

While FocusMagic can deblur well behaved linear motion blur, or defocus blur, the blur of moving leaves and branches is much more erratic.

Maybe something like DeblurMyImage or SmartDeblur can do something when it's given small crops of the full scene.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of those 2 plug-ins.

Thanks! I will check out a few of these. This is an image I captured with my view camera some years ago and scanned.
Usually I take multiple shots but this time I didn't. The wind was a nuisance that day as I recall. Once my patience has expired
I'll pack up the equipment and move on. Of course that is usually when the wind finally quiets down!

I tried DeblurMyImages and Topaz InFocus, but they both failed miserably even on simplest images - linear or erratic motion.
DeblurMyImages didn't cost much, and teh author tried to help me, but even he wasn't able to improve the image beyond some ugly sharpening.
Apparently Adobe Shake reduction doesn't fare any better.

Don't waste any time or money on the image de-blurring products.

I guess I'm not surprised especially having read previous comments. It is a complex problem
but at the same time an opportunity for someone to develop a software solution.

Try this and see if it helps.
