If you are having the issue over and over again, it's time to dig out the manual and learn how to use the camera. :thumbup:

I was talking about Littlebill, this is the same question he asked last week.

Here's the link to a camera that creates images where you can re-focus to any point on an image AFTER the picture is taken.

From checking out their web site I'd say the "In Focus" software is more of a selective "sharpening tool"? IMHO ;~)
Unfortunately the Light Field camera produces very small image files, yes/no?
Good luck, Alan

Go watch "Rising Sun" with Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes. They had the software and equipment to take a blurry reflection off of clear glass from a security camera of a man's face walking through the room and make it sharp enough to identify him. And this was in 1993!

There are some new developments that can achieve amazing results but to my knowledge they have not been acquired by any of the major software suppliers yet. There was a link to a web site showing how it worked a month or two back. Try searching UHH.
It uses a sophisticated mathematical analysis to deduce the cause of the focus problem and apply appropriate remidies. The examples seemed to work better when the focus problem was due to camera motion than due to depth of field related issues; i.e. focus on the wrong thing.
I expect we'll see in most of the software in a few years.
PS: I just followed the link above to the Topaz offering. It appears to be here!

Well not quite the same answers. In the other thread, PhotoArtsLA helpfully provided a link to

Thanks for the address. Looked at it and will try the test version and see if I get good results before adding to my arsenal.

An out of focus picture isn't worth the time or the effort to fix... my only cavat to this would be if it is the only known picture of a loved one who has pasted on.
You are getting to be predictable MWAC. As soon as I saw the topic, I new you would get your britches in a bunch/blow a gasket. Your avatar and comments crack me up. Thanks for the laughs.

I have, and have used the Topaz In-Focus plug in don't look for it to save your out of focus images. It may cure some of the focus ills for an out of focus image, it does require some effort. Of all the Topaz plug ins I have purchased and use this one is the least valued one of their offerings. So the you can perform the basic post processing edits and see if you get any improvements.

Darn, that's disappointing.
