- Focus Improvement and Blur Effects

v2.0.205.8566 [May 3, 2012]
Bugs have been fixed, and the plug-in version is now compatible with the upcoming Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Elements 11.
AKVIS Refocus improves sharpness of out of focus images. The program can process the entire photo or bring into focus only the selected part to make the subject stand out against the background.
Even if a photo looks sharp enough, there is always room for improvement. For example, create a special effect and draw attention to certain details. With this software you can get the selective focus effect easily by sharpening one part of a photo and blurring the rest.
