NAME: SmartDeblur

AUTHOR: Vladimir Yuzhikov, a Russian programmer.

DESCRIPTION: This Windows app lets you do the impossible: remove the blur from a picture. The resulting image isn’t perfectly clear but it is a huge improvement and new details appear in a matter of seconds. You can read the complex mechanics behind the software on Vladimir Yuzhikov page and head over to github to download SmartDeblur for free.

AMUSEMENT RATE: I remember when I started using Photoshop, I was desperately looking for a function to deblur pictures. How sad was I when I realized it did not exist. Adobe has already showcased this feature as a sneak peek but we’ve yet to see it in any of their products. While we wait for its release, SmartDeblur will definitely do the trick.
