I tried the system from Focus Magic (stand alone exe and PS plug-in) just last week. www.focusmagic.com. The trial allows 8 uses. All the demos shown of this system are quite impressive. They even demonstrate forensic applications such as resolving a license plate on a car that is completely out of focus. The explanation of the main sharpening algorithm is very impressive, but my eight uses proved to be less than magic.
The application may fit the needs of others, but I have the urge to keep pressing on as if I was still driving the old K1000; get the focus tight at the glass end of the camera!
