About SHARPEN Projects Professional 3:

With its sophisticated sharpening algorithms, selective adjustments, RAW support, and intelligent masking feature, this photo editing software from Franzis can restore and improve images that are otherwise blurry, out of focus, or faded.

This Windows software can even fix motion blur or shaky recordings, allowing users to take clear, sharp photos even when the originals were blurry.

What it does?

• Retrieves out-of-focus or blurred photos caused by motion by examining individual pixels and applying sharpening selectively, rather than all at once.​
• Permits selective sharpening, letting you focus on certain details (like eyes or textures) while intelligently hiding off others (like skies or skin).​
• Works with typical photo editors as a plug-in or as a standalone tool, depending on the edition or version, and integrates into workflows.

Typical use cases

• Fixing photographs that are a little shaky or blurry because they were taken with a handheld camera or a long focal length.​
• Adding more micro-contrast and depth to landscapes, buildings, and product pictures without making halos.​
• Perfecting the clarity and detail perception of photographs in preparation for large printing.

Key Features & Capabilities:

• Adaptive Sharpening: Uses methods like “Adaptive Multi-scale Deconvolution” to look at pixels and apply sharpness in a smart way, looking at nearby pixels to see how clear they are.
• Motion Blur Correction: Fixes motion blur in action images (sports, animals) by adjusting the camera’s focus and exposure.
• Intelligent Masking: This is a new feature in version 3 that lets you sharpen only certain areas (like skin, the sky, or details) without changing others. It keeps tones and edges safe.
• RAW Module: Works with a wide variety of RAW file types, allowing for lossless adjustments including exposure, noise, and color correction.
• Selective Processing: Use effects based on the type of image (portrait, landscape, movement) and use brushes that you may change to make exact changes in certain areas.
• Oversampling Mode: Gives you a more precise sharpness computation.
• Blur Function and Comparison View: These features help you see how sharpening affects an image by blurring it and showing it next to another image.
• Batch Processing and Metadata: Change the metadata of an image and process more than one photo at a time.
