Focus Magic 4.0 Beta Full Version Free Download




Focus Magic 4.0 Beta Full Version Free Download
Focus Magic – the program for correction of unfocused or blurred movement of the subject in the photo. There is as a stand-alone Windows application and as a plug-in for Phototshop-compatible applications, including Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro, PhotoImpact, ACD FotoCanvas, and Corel PhotoPaint. Focus Magic useful to have in the Arsenal of not only the novice photographers. To improve the quality of blurred images have to totally unforeseen situations, to say nothing about home analog archive, which contains so sweet to the eye but the blurred image.
Focus Magic like it much, because it can be used as a stand-alone tool and as a plug-in that is compatible with Photoshop and many other compatible editors. For a list of compatible programs is quite long , so where and how to install plug-ins can be viewed here.
Many will like the filter, which allows you to remove the image bitmap appears when scanning a photo of printed editions. The new version of the Focus Magic contains a specialized algorithm, which allows to qualitatively correct the problem of the image and, for comparison, is working in four times faster than previous versions of the product.
With the help of non-standard software tools Focus Magic restores the largest number of graphical information of the source of the frame. The sharpness of the image is increased without the appearance of halos and grain, inherent in, for example, the standard filters (Unsharp Mask) in Photoshop..
Focus Magic automatically determines the width of blur the image is opened. Select a filter on the toolbar and try different width blur in different parts of the image until you get the optimal settings. Then click on the green button of the traffic light in order to focus the whole image.
What’s new in version 4 for Windows?
Focus Magic 4.0 is now available as a 32 and 64-bit plug-in for Windows. It also includes some improvements in the 32-bit standalone version and automatic detection. If you previously used the 32-bit version, you will notice a big difference (in 2-4 times) in processing speed when working on a dual-core or computer processor.
Activating plug-in (Filter > Focus Magic), you will get the opportunity to choose from two options available to use:
Fix Motion Blur – reduction blur motion
Fix the Out-of-focus Blur – easy sharpening
That invited companionship feature of the plug-in Focus Magic – simplicity. There are a lot of plug-ins, which increase the sharpness, but, as a rule, they offer several dozens of different options and after a while you just get tired of messing with it all of the sliders, checkboxes, and drop-down menus.
Three-four parameters and the possibility of accurately identifying and strengthening of the details – that’s all what we need. It is this set provides a Focus Magic
Selecting Fix the Out-of-focus Blur you get control of four parameters:
1. Image Source – allows you to specify how the received image: with the help of conventional or digital camera, with the help of video cameras or as it scanned the usual old pictures. Depending on the type of image uses different algorithms for its processing.
2. Blur Width – allows you to specify the length of the blur. The lower the value, the more fine details become more violent. Higher values are recommended if more blur the original image, but in such cases it is not worth counting on a completely satisfactory result. For thumbnails of digital images, which is intended to be published in the Internet is quite enough of values from 1 to 2
Fix the Out-of-focus Blur plug-in at startup determines the value of this parameter in the automatic mode. Usually these values are sufficiently accurate, the error is + / – 1 pixel. But in the case of a grainy or unevenly washed-out image errors are possible. In any case, for your own satisfaction, you can then try to experiment with values different from those found in the automatic mode. You can also click on the image area of interest and then click Detect to automatically detect the blur that is in this particular area of the image.
Focus Magic uses advanced forensic strength deconvolution technology to literally “undo” blur. It can repair both out-of-focus blur and motion blur (camera shake) in an image. It is the only software that can significantly recover lost detail from blurry images.
Focus Magic Features
* Photoshop Compatible
Join the tens of thousands of people who use Focus Magic as a plug-in for Photoshop from around the world (also works in other image editing programs)
* Ease of Use
For Motion Blur, select the direction and then the distance. For Out-of-Focus Blur, increase the Blur Width until the image looks the sharpest
* Forensic Strength
No other product even comes close in recovering license plate numbers from blurred images
In the past, Unsharp Mask was seen as the best way to sharpen photographs which were a little blurred. It increases the contrast of the edges of an image to make it look sharper. There are many programs which have Unsharp Mask (or Sharpen) included, and there are even some dedicated Unsharp Mask programs. The mathematics is quite simple, and it runs quite fast. Focus Magic however doesn’t use the Unsharp Mask principle to sharpen an image. It uses advanced deconvolution to reverse the way in which the image got out of focus to restore the original “in focus” image as much as possible. On this page we compare Unsharp Mask with Deconvolution (as implemented in Focus Magic) for various degrees of blur, starting with a slightly blurred image and finishing with a very blurred image.
Testing Method
The blur width parameter in Focus Magic is equivalent to the diameter of a circle and is in each of the following examples set to twice the Unsharp Mask Radius. The Amount is in all cases set to 100%. For Unsharp Mask the Threshold is set to zero. For Focus Magic the Noise Reduction is set to Auto and the Image Source is set to “Conventional Camera” (except for example 2 which was taken with a digital camera). Feel free to experiment with different Unsharp Mask settings if you want to.
Example Very Blurred Image
This image which shows part of a mans face has a blur width of about 20. When an image gets out of focus, point sources of light (from small shiny objects) become circles. With Focus Magic the circles become smaller concentrations of light, which is what you would expect when sharpening an image. With Unsharp Mask the circles stay the same size and get brighter which is not correct for sharpening an image. The iris in his eye now has well defined edges and has the circular shape we expect.
What’s New in Version 4 for Windows?
Version 4 is now available as a 32-bit and a 64-bit plug-in for Windows. It also includes some improvements to the 32-bit stand-alone version and the auto-detect. If you have used the 32-bit version before and you are running a dual core or quad core computer, you will see a two fold or four fold improvement in speed.
Support for the products:
* Adobe
* Corel
* ACD Systems
* Microsoft
