Unsharp Mask is not a deblurring function. once you are able to
understand
and use a proper deblurring filter, you will never use Unsharp
Mask again.
I bought a copy of Focus Fixer a couple of months ago. I'm still
playing around with the settings, but have used it to save a couple of
photos. (Prints had been ordered on the strength of seeing teeny tiny
proof thumbnails and I found later when coming to print them that the
focus was off)
The question I have is whether there's any real value to be had in
using Focus Fixer now that Photoshop CS2 has a deconvolution blur
removal tool built-in. Does FocusFixer do a substantially better job?
Is it more configurable? $60 isn't a huge amount of money...
