Wow. I mean, WOW. I was in my best friend's wedding in October, but I managed to get some photos that her hired photographer didn't- namely, shots in the limo. The best one of the entire day was out of focus. I was so bummed.

Here's the original:



Here it is after fixing redeye and running though Focus Magic:



And here it is after converting to grayscale, doing a little touchup and adjusting the contrast a bit:



You can see crops from the fullsize images here. It's not perfect, but damn it's good. I'm sold.

Did it really fix the focus that much that well? Wow.

Their Website shows it as a standalone or PS plugin (and other options) for a trial or $45...

have to go take a bad pic to try it out...oh yeah, based on my scores my Yellow entry is a bad pic ;)

thats really cool, i just wanted to mention that in the last shot the very first thing i noticed was her teeth, it looks like she has lipstick on them or something, but im sure she dont, it just may be a side effect from the focus magic.

I think you are correct- it's from the software.

I got the plugin (yep, works with both PE3 and PSP9) and I don't know what I'd do without it. It just seems to work 'better' than USM alone. Fixing motion blur also is a bonus.
