Advertisement Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Hi erudolph, Take a look here Topaz Super Focus (beta). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted April 11 Author Share #22 Posted April 11 7 hours ago, Ken Abrahams said: I was really disappointed with the misfocus on this shot so not thinking it was recoverable I went to Topaz and gave the face recovery a go. I thought I had only selected one face, the main subject but the app has tried to give eyes and sharp glasses to the people in the background. One is left with a weird image if its inspected closely but it did sharpen the girls face. I only use Topaz on rare occasions and Adobe Denoise mostly along with ACR with the sharpen module at the end of processing. . Welcome, dear visitor!

I see what you mean but you can choose which face(s) you want to enhance and there is a masking tool as well And intensity sliders. Using it on automatic can produce unwanted results.

PeterHatt Posted April 11 Share #23 Posted April 11 I like to use it in conjunction with photoshop because you have layers, for example in this picture in which the face was slightly ‘out’ possible though motion of the dog & slow shutter speed - indoor lighting. I super focused the subject then deliberately increased the intensity so it was too sharp. This enabled me when back in Photoshop to place a black mask ( hide the super focus effect) & with a low opacity soft white brush gently allow the effect through where & by as much as I wanted for my taste.

jaapv Posted April 11 Author Share #24 Posted April 11 A good result, but one can still see the doubling-up artefacts if you are looking for them. I tend to finish up by applying some Gaussian Blur and then using USM to re-sharpen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but to my defence I made this image for phone viewing (small screen) so I emphasised the sharpening effect 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
