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

Is it more configurable? $60 isn't a huge amount of money...
I don't know.
It cost me less than $60 as I was sent a special offer price. I was on
their mailing list after downloading the trial version of the bundle
ages ago.
I didn't have CS2 and was reluctant to upgrade from CS as the Smart
sharpen seemed to me to be the only thing worth upgrading for at the
time. This was a much cheaper alternative.
Thanks for the response, wendy.
Hmm. The CS2 upgrade cost me $176, but I bought it on the strength of
all the other things it improved upon over CS (Camera Raw
improvements, file browser to Picture Bridge changes, better
correction and noise reduction tools, etc). I didn't even know about
the Smart Sharpen feature when I bought the update, and though it
worth it already.
So my question is directed at, having spent the money and already
having CS2's Smart Sharpen, does the FocusFixer actually do enough
different/better a job to be worth the additional expense?
