I used the SL2 in multiexposure (189Mpx) mode with a Summicron 50mm SL at f2.2. The edges do get softer (not entirely clear that this is the lens or atmosphere or the way that the SL2 takes / stitches such images). Topaz Sharpen AI does a reasonable job at cleaning up the deficiencies. (I have probably slightly overcooked it, but may well have started with the auto settings.). [No interest to declare; paid for the product (v 3.3.5).]

Thanks @jaapv for pointing out I was missing something. I have been out of touch with photography for a few years and did not realize that fixing motion blur and focussing errors could be this easy with today's AI software. This morning I downloaded Topaz Sharpen AI trial version and threw it on a photo discussed in this thread: My good old Macbook Pro (2015) protested loudly with his fans when I loaded the 18MP M9 DNG into it. Every adjustment takes rather long, I would not bring up the patience to do this with every blurry shot I have, but some keepers may be worth it. It took like 10 min or so to export the result as TIF. The hassle of saving it first as TIF and then proceeding is not very convenient also, but maybe if one can use it as plugin this becomes more streamlined. Currently my LR version is too old to run on Mac OS 12.6 Monterey so I am using Darktable for now. I was aware of ON1 and Luminar, and am vaguely aware of what they are capable of. Does any of you have experience with these AI packages. Any recommendations?

We are not that far down the road to hell with regard to AI and it appears than an increasing number of people are through with AI, photographers in particular. I love my M10 Monochrom and Q2 - and the stunning prints (other people's words, not self aggrandizement) that they can produce. As for AI imaging, my interest level is significantly lower than my interest in having an intimate physical relationship with a farm animal. This essay has me thinking that it's past time to dust off my M4-P, film developing kit and the ziploc bag full of Tri-X in my gear cabinet.
