Back In Focus overview

Back In Focus is an application allowing to refocus blurry images.

If you ever took a great photo only to find out it's slightly blurry, Back In Focus can help you get in back in focus!

  • Supports most image formats
  • Is able to recover details smaller than the blur size
  • Makes it easy to explore different deconvolution algorithms
  • Has tools to refocus only the blurred area
  • Takes advantage of Grand Central Dispatch to use your computer power
Back In Focus implements advanced deconvolution technologies to recover lost details. It is best used before any image manipulation. Currently implemented algorithms:
  • Unsharp masking (fast and full)
  • Wiener finite and infinite impulse response
  • Richardson-Lucy (with a thresholding variant)
  • Linear algebra deconvolution

What’s new in version 1.0.5

Version 1.0.5:

My paid for registration code doesn't work. So it's hard work even to discover how shoddy the app is (thanks for previous reviews, I'll just drop the issue). 1.5 stars for trying to tackle a challenging issue.

Probably the worst user interface I’ve ever used in a photography app. Wasted 3h trying to figure out how this works to no avail. The brief manual doesn’t even explain all the settings. Complete rubbish. Save your time and money.

I paid full price for this $110(au) in october 2012 - there has been no update on how to use it other than the developers short written tutorial thats says as much as double click on a spot and play around with it ???? , No video tutorials have been added, I can't find anything on your tube and have waisted hours and hours using different images trying to get it to work on at least 6 different occasions. I would have gotten a better results buying alcohol with the money drinking it and taking my camera out on auto with the lens cap on, with no flash at night. If the developer is actually reading this please do some thing to make your product work or post something explaining how to do it and i will be more than happy to write a positive review.

I was a huge skeptic too. I also bought this software as part of a bundle or deal of some kind and didn't pay more than half price. Every time I launched it out of desperation and I just didn't have the patience to sit with it and figure out how to make it work. Then I had a bad shoot that I could not afford to have go wrong. So I sat down with the software and gave it a try. The interface took a little work. You choose a picture, you double click in a critical area, and then you get this screen of dots. Click a dot and it shows you the sharpening with that effect. Once you zero in on a look, you explore around with your keyboard arrow keys until you have just the right amount of sharpening. Each dot is a slightly different tweak. When you have what you want, you back out, choose the sharpen in the right column, and brush it in. Most of the time I'm lazy and just apply it to the whole picture. Man oh man it's now become my go-to tool for saving a soft picture. Worth every penny at full price. A great deal at what I paid for it. Crashes occasionally. Interface isn't intuitive and the documentation probably needs more fleshing out. But a great tool.
