![]() I can’t say it’s perfect but it’s gone from an image that never saw the light of day to one that I keep on my Flickr photostream. Final step was to downsize to 1000px tall using the bicubic sharpener setting and save as jpeg. These are more aggressive settings than I normally use but actually made much less impact on the final image than Focus Magic. Then I downsized to 2000 pixels tall and ran Nik Output Sharpener at a fairly high setting, with the Focus slider pulled up to 30%. I then cleaned up a few fringes using the clone tool and ran it through Nik Color Efex to correct the colour balance and give the contrast some help. The correction factor was 19, so it’s at the upper end of the corrections that can be done. The sharper version was put into Photoshop CC and first thing I did was run Focus Magic as a layer. ![]() The original raw file was converted in Lightroom. So much better than any of the usual sharpening techniques and tools, and so I bought it and use it every now and then when I stuff up a shot that can’t be taken again. Pictures not looking quite the way you hoped. About 6 months later I came across Focus Magic and remembered this blurry image as the perfect test. A quick chimp at the rear screen afterwards didn’t show the focus problem so I thought I was cool and moved on to the next shot.īack at home I saw the problem and had to leave the shot as unsavable. The skater was only above me for a fraction of a second and the camera was set up to ignore such brief changes in focus, so even with an ultra-wide angle lens the shot ended up being focused on the distant sky rather than the guy. The trouble with this was that I completely forgot about how the autofocus would work. So I lay on my back in the bottom of the basin and had the skater come flying over me. I had the idea of shooting from below the skater so I could better see his face. But it does not matter what you shoot – landscapes or flowers, animals or still-life – Helicon Focus will make your images stand out.A few years back I was shooting skateboarders at a local park.
