Photoshop CC: Image Deblurring Finally Coming! [Sneak Video]
April 17th, 2013 21 comments
[UPDATE (May 6th) – Major news out: Adobe Unveils New “CC” Release (CS7)…]
At their last MAX conference in October 2011, Adobe showed a sneak peak of some exciting work in progress: the prototype of a new Photoshop Image Deblurring feature that takes shaky photos and brings them into focus. The demonstration was impressive and the technology received huge press at the time, but ultimately was said to be too early stage to make it into the final release of Photoshop CS6 last year. Since that time, our readers have been asking about the status of the unblurring function – and when, where, and how we might see it finally released and available to the public…
Well now, we may finally have the answer.
