That article may have been concerned with something I learned about at university - inverse fourier transforms. Right. It did involve fourier transforms of some sort (I used to have some idea of what that means) but applied to the image not the lens, if I am remembering right. John M.

There are a few software packages designed to do just this for astronomical images.. Lucy-Richardson Deconvolution, Maximum Entropy plus a couple more algorithms.. very cpu intensive (forget about using a Pentium 200). I have not been impressed by the results, too much work for an incremental

Yeah, that article has stuck in my mind also. I remember that the method had to do with mathematically analyzing circles of confusion to sharpen unsharp images (don't remember anything about motion blur, but it might have been there). I onced asked about it on some list or other and someone

I have to say this is a complete load of baloney. With one Levels setting, e.g.: input black 0 input gamma 2.5 input white 255 output black 0 output white 180 followed by USM: Amount 200 Radius 200 followed by USM: Amount 100 Radius 1 I can get something just like image 8 Retinexed, for
