Is anyone using it? I'd like some personal experience. I'm not interested in recovering badly focused shots. I just want the best sharpening plug-in for already focused photos. thanks very much.
Hi David,
For
capture sharpening it works fine, it's just that many people don't use the correct radius settting. When using too large a radius, then artifacts are hard to avoid, but that's more a user problem. After setting the correct
capture sharpening radius, the plug-in then allows to increase the effect by using the additional more traditional sharpening options of the plug-in.
Of course, finding the correct radius is not all that straightforward, that's why I created
a tool for that purpose. By using my tool one can also create and apply a deconvolution kernel for free, but it requires some serious work to achieve perfection (it's a bit more laborious than using the TopazLabs plug-in).
Cheers,
Bart
