Focus Magic Tests

There was a mention of Focus Magic in this thread here

http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=64246


I decided to test it on a few images.

Here is an animated gif of the Trifid cropped from the mosaic showing before and after enhancement with Focus Magic. 1.4MB

A terrestial shot enhanced the same way 2.1MB

Focus Magic does not seem to have any artefacts that you get with star reduction or Richarson Lucy enhancement. I went one pixel under their recommendation. This number appears when you load the image.

Below is an image showing the full frame of the Pardalote. Taken with the 5D and Canon 300mm F2.8L hand held from about five metres away at f/5.

The second image is a 100% crop from the enhanced image of the Trifid.

I am that impressed with it I have already bought it.

Try it for yourselves. You get ten free image enhancements.
