Adobe shake reduction. It’s not that bad.
When I first tried Adobe’s “Shake reduction” I was underwhelmed. It just didn’t look that great… the fact remains, it isn’t that great for high level work. BUT it can make a crappy shot adequate. Which is better than nothing.
Here’s an example.
My friend asked me to sharpen this picture of his grandkid. It’s obviously not very good, but the moment/smile is endearing and important to my friend:
So I open up Photoshop and apply the Shake reduction filter. Then (as I usually do) a High Pass sharpening filter (I might do a blog post on that later).
Here’s the result:
It looks artificial, but hey, it’s also “sharp” so it does it’s job.
So yeh, it’s alright sometimes. If I wanted to make it super great I’d probably tone it down somewhat and only apply it to certain areas, but for the purposes of this it’s alright.
Here’s a side by side for your viewing delight:
So yeh, it’s ok. Well done Adobe for making something kinda useful.
