Where and when is it possible to buy that`? The best would be a plugin for PS…

I feel like this is a path to making EVEN MORE wanna-bees into competition for real photographers. Eventually you won’t have to have any skill at all. might as well just swing my camera around my neck randomly taking pictures with my finger up my nose.

Can someone explain to me, who the red-shoed prick is? And why he sits on stage and makes dumb remarks?

Umfortunately, those cameras aren’t going to do much for motion blur, I don’t think. It isn’t caused by a problem with lens focus.

Very Cool! Of course when these are available (http://mashable.com/2011/10/19/lytro-launches-amazing-focus-free-camera-will-cost-399/) blurring photos will be a thing of the past!

Actually, DPReview has a news item slamming the presentation because the last image of Kevin Lynch was sharp originally. Adobe has owned up to that fact. What I find interesting is that the motion blur algorithm works in reverse. That would be a valuable tool since Photoshops motion blur is mechanical and unconvincing.

So some marketing person who helped out with the presentation should take some heat for:

a) underestimating the geekiness and free time of the audience at large to find the original image and call “shenanigans”.

And b) not finding a way to make the synthetic blur use into a teaser for yet another drool-worthy aspect of the technology.

Any sufficiently advanced technology would be completely indistinguishable from a rigged demo.

[Nice. :-) --J.]

Not saying this is rigged… But that it does indeed look like magic!

And Hey! Rainn Wilson!

You don’t need me to tell you that this is quite exciting.

Presto! Every “Enhance” joke has suddenly been mooted. I can see this technology going in-camera in every P&S under the sun. Nice work. In fact, is Enhance™ taken?

W.O.W !!!

This is why Photoshop is Photoshop and will always be Photoshop!

Wow!

You guys make this stuff much more powerful and I’ll be able to stay home and let my camera and laptop go take the pictures for me.

If this feature can be easy to use, I could see it being used not just in Photoshop or Lightroom, but I think people would pay for it in more consumer products. Whether this means Photoshop Touch or just a $10 app that all it does is deblur photos, I can see it being very popular with every day people who want to fix their blurly photos.

umm, a before and after image would make sense if it was the same image!!!

[Click through to the full-res version, and don't be put off by my cropping. --J.]

Nevertheless clever stuff.. probably ;)
