[Leica] Focus Magic

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I see now "Shake Reduction" seems to be a thing for poor people who find 
themselves with a lens which no Image Stabilization (IS) or Vibration 
Reduction (VR)  on it. "Shake Reduction" gives you IS or VR after the fact 
you can do at home on the kitchen table.
Maybe I'll try it because after getting all kinds of cool VR zooms I'm now 
shooting with gold band 1.8G's, gold band Nikkor's. The 20, 24, 28, 35, 50 
and 85mm lenses.
It's slightly Leica like not zooming.

    In the photoshop Sub Menu List under "Sharpen" are 6 options:
    Shake Reduction
    Sharpen
    Sharpen Edges
    Sharpen More
    Smart Sharpen
    Unsharp Mask
    I remember the 16 Kai's tools there was sharpen tool I felt was much 
better than Unsharp mask. When that tanked I thought I was a fish out of 
water but unsharp mask turned out to be better when I got better at using it
    I used to play around with the 5 other photoshop sharpen options worlds 
unto themselves but I've fallen into plain vanilla "Unsharp Mask" for the 
past full decade and more.
    "Shake Reduction" was not even on the menu list last time I looked. But 
I never look. Maybe it was?
    I think it could take me a couple of weeks to perfect the wonders of the 
new "Shake Reduction" and maybe it would be worth it. I feel like its dumb 
of me to not belong to a news list where I can see what people think about 
the various sharpening options in Photoshop and how they compare to third 
party add ons. 
    The problem with my use of add ons is I'm always afraid I'm going to 
like them. Because they're all here today gone tomorrow. I could spend a 
summer in a summer camp crash course on sharpening options already in 
photoshop.
    Thing is my pix are sharp enough. Sometimes I select a small area and 
sharpen it twice. A very uncool thing to do but I have no shame.

        It's hard to tell the difference in a small jpeg on the internet but 
both
        of these do a good job:
        
        Smart Sharpen:  https://pbase.com/tinamanley/image/169782435
        
        Sharpen Ai:  https://pbase.com/tinamanley/image/169782436
        
        I'll probably end up using Sharpen Ai most often because it's a LR 
plug-in.
        
        Thanks, guys!!
