  • Not bad, and I like that it's open source.

    If you use an electronic rolling shutter, I guess the blur kernel will change progressively along the Y axis of the image? If your hands are shaky and you'll need to rely on this software, use the mechanical shutter in other words? :)

  • @larsarus

    First, last version is not open source.

    Second, last version added very advanced automatic kernel extraction.

  • They could develop an automatic batch processing, so we could export a blurred video as jpg sequence and the software could batch process it: "open, correct, save" for each jpg in that blurred or out of focus sequence. Not so difficult. I sent an email to them about tis idea.

    Maybe they will turn this into a comercial software in future. It seems the beta version just allows images with 1200x1200 pixels...

    Also... what will happen when there is a sharp subject in front of a motion blurred background, or if foliage blurs due to wind in a static scenario, or if a fast car blur itself against a static background? It seems the software cannot evaluate these things yet.

  • Adobe approach

  • VK, great find! Only knew about the Adobe take on this. Apefos, great idea. please keep us updated!

  • They said to me by email they have plans on developing the batch processing and allow 1920x1080 images also, but no estimated time to release these new features.

  • Thanks! Works on Mac OSX 10.83 using Winebottler.
