If you follow my Facebook page, the shot below is one that I just shared. But there's a backstory to it, which is a testimony to the power of Topaz Sharpen. Here's the shot I posted. It's a tack-sharp capture of a black skimmer doing a very high speed pass over a hyacinth macaw, on a beach in the Pantanal of Brazil.



The only "problem" with this picture is that I totally screwed up! I set the shutter speed too low, and the skimmer came out blurred. Here's the original:




When I saw the result in my camera, I kicked myself rather severely. But then I thought I'd run it through Topaz Sharpen, using the motion blur algorithm. I could not believe the results --- it completely saved the shot and corrected my egregious mistake. Paid for itself right there!
