Thanks, I love my CC. Will take me a bit of effort to get back into PS, but I will.

if someone can test out the camera shake tool, i'd love to hear how well it works, its the one feature i'd upgrade for.

I love the camera shake tool on my bird shots. It's going to make a lot of my older ones salvagable.

for an 800 pixel jpeg from a full raw, conservative settings seem to make a small difference. For the image as a whole, there is enough difference for me to keep using this...Sending you a modified tiff neil you tell me what you think

i should note the image in this scenario was not an upclose shot of anything. I'll put up some examples later.

I m finding it pretty useful as an intelligent sharpening tool.

heres an example (probably not the best one but its something)



Its not drastic, but its significant. (i didn't take any steps to clean the image up cause i was impatient -.-)

Thanks to Devinder for editing my photo with the new feature. Definitely an improvement.

However, the blur wasn't all gone. I thought I'd give my old copy of focus magic a try to see if it could do better...and it did just a little bit better, completely eliminating the "doubled edges" (though it produced more noise/artifacts along the inside of edges, clearly visible at 2x, and somewhat visible at 1x.

Here's the comparison at 1:1 (look at it full size to see the screen shot from my 30" monitor):



To be fair, it's possible if I owned CC I could mess with it longer and get even better results. But in this quickie test, Focus Magic did slightly better.

In cc, there are sliders you can manipulate to adjust the level of sharp vs level of artifacts and noise you get. I went with the Auto settings. In fact, i might have toned things down a bit for a more natural look - not sure -.- sorry

No complaints...I appreciate you doing that.
