First, I want to thank all the folks that left such nice feedback on my last Alaska's fall color posting. It was overwhelming I greatly appreciated it. Here are some more fall scenes from there.

Tonight I attended an meetup demonstration at Adobe HQ in San Jose. The speaker and demonstrator was Bryan Hughes of Adobe.

One of the items he covered was this new filter. Basically, it works best with camera shake, as PS looks for the edge to ghost edge distance and direction. The algorithm is based on that information being found, it does not work well with action blur or out of focus files.

The meeting can be seen here:

I tried it on an image I took with a too-low shutter speed with a 20mm lens. The shake was not awful, but just barely noticeable. I found the shake reduction worked really well. The over sharpened look can be mitigated by removing the effect from less important areas. Keep it on the eyes or area where sharpness matters and remove it from the rest.

Not a cure for bad technique, but for those images with small movement, it seems quite good.

You can salvage slight blur with that, but if you have a lot of blur due to shake in the picture, even that filter can't save it! (Even today, "get it right in camera", is still the best bet).
