Adobe shows unblur filter for PS

[jgomez65]

Has anyone seen this?
It is a new filter that allows to unblur pictures after they were taken. It works with an algorithm that calculates the speed at which the snapper's hands were wobbling, then digitally 'removes' the shake from a photograph, restoring it to pristine sharpness

Here is a link to the story along with a video (you can't see much on the video, but you can hear the exciment in the audience)

This will be neat to see once I can actually see it. I'm assuming from the cheering on the video that the actual effect of the tool is impressive, but it's not at all apparent from watching someone's flip cam video.

The graphic on the top of the page is just a blur filter of course, not an un-blur filter.

Go see it on Youtube and put the resolution in 720. You'll see much better.

Man, do I need this filter.

I believe it when I use it. You can't pull real information out that was never recorded. You can guess, you can add noise and contrast to make things appear sharper... but no. I'll wait and see it working irl thanks And lets not forget, there's a difference between blurred and out of focus

Found what appears to be a paper on the theory, might give it a read:

That's a good question Jamie. Will it also fix subject movement, or mis-focused shots? I think most here can probably hold a camera steady, even if you don't have IS to help. But there's nothing more frustrating than having what could have been a good shot only for the subject to move at that wrong moment. I guess it's a wait and see as to how good, and how available it will be.
