Do not delete your unsharp / motion blurred pictures!

Will it fix heatwaves as well? That would be a blast!

Hahaha!

I am very happy that I keep every single shot on my harddisk
It would be handy if the tool is integrated in lightroom!

IMHO the charm of photography is totally gone with this feature.
*We can now sell our big lenses and buy a 50-500 (plus a 2.0 extender) instead.
*Cameras can now be equipped with ISO 25 or even lower, because shutter speeds ain't important anymore.
*VR/IS is worthless.

I challenge anyone to produce the same quality result from a "don't care, will enhance on computer" shot as from a "do care, will try and make a good photo" example. And with result, I don't mean some small-size web jpg, but something you can print 1 meter wide or high and be proud of.

And to clarify: nothing wrong with that first approach, just not my idea of what makes photography rewarding.

It might soon be time to look out for another hobby...

Hi Joost,

It’s funny to hear you say that. I know you as somebody who only accepts near perfect situations to make photographs. You don’t even take out the camera when the sun doesn’t shine, and you want your photos to come out perfect right after the camera clicks. That is the way you do your hobby, and that suits you perfectly.

But why bother about the way others like like to do it?

If they like to do with all kinds of processing tricks, just let them be. That’s what they like, and after all, it’s their hobby. You can still do yours and have fun in the way you prefer. No need to compete with others, as a hobby is something you do for yourself.

My advise: If your passion is to take perfect aircraft pictures without allowing yourself any post processing enhancements, you may consider going back to slides because slides won’t allow any post processing at all. Therefor, if you can show a slide with all possible parameters right, you can be truely happy.

As for the “Motion Blur Correction Tool”, this is just another step forward. Think about it, at first people had to stand still for a few seconds until after the magnesium flash lit and the photographer emerged from under his sheet cover. After a while the films got better, interchangable lenses appeared, light measuring equipment got integrated in the camera, portable flash units appeared, autofocus was invented, digital photography came into swing, image stabilizers got introduced, and computer processing became mighty popular. All of these inventions were a step forward for many people, but only a few felt these were more of step towards the end of photography. That’s life…..

Remember when digital photography was introduced as the step forward for photography ? It was, but not for everybody. Digital photography meant the end for many commercial photographers. Everybody started snapping photos and nobody visited the local photostore anymore. Loads of jobs were lost, but the big crowd loved digital photography, just like most of us. Instead of spending hunderds or even thousands of euro’s on film every year we can now invest in better equipment or do more travelling.

Oh well, I’ll get back down from my soapbox.

Cheers,
Iwan

Amen to that.......

Though i have to say, that the real image is made when, where and how you press that button, in the end it's the result that counts. post processing can make a beautifull image even better, and so will probably that full disc shot (though i'm not a fan of full disc ) become more close to the wanted end result.......i say, let's bring it on.

Somebody once said, the real photography is not done in the field anymore, but back home, behind the computer. I totally disagree with that, cause i still think, poor quality in, is poor quality out. But tools to help us getting even better results.......hoeray!

I am still waiting for that "Apply Sunny Conditions" Correction Tool

I don't think such tools can ruin your pleasure in taking photos. It is only a tool to help you... And composition is also still important. And up until now there isn't a "Composition Correction" tool

@Marcel, trade your K25 for a K64 anytime......

When you read my first post, you will see that I would love to try the ant-blur tool.

@Peter, maybe i is difficultnto get the sun shining, but with levels you an come a long way. Only you need to add some nice blue sky

I didn't watch the link but I believe this new tool offers new possibilities to cross some borders again and take photography to a higher level.
With that in mind I like it already

Heatwaves? Why?

en deze

past in de reeks der fototechnische 'grootheden' als AutoFocus, Beeldstabillisatie, Lenscorrectiesoftware enz.

Vele mensen zitten desondanks al die snufjes nu toch ook foto's te verscherpen dankzij andere softwaretools op de PC, dus dit is min of meer gewoon de volgende (kleine) stap....
Bovendien doet menig (consu-)camera het verscherpen (ect.) al ook uit zichzelf.

Straks wordt een onscherpe foto nog een kunst. (Bokeh...)

[polderbaan]

Hoezo is de charme en de creativiteit verdwenen met alle digitale snufjes. Jarenlang heb ik in mijn eigen donkere kamer van kleurennegatieven en dia´s afdrukken gemaakt waarbij ik wel degelijk met kleurshifting, contrastverbetering en gamma correctie probeerde redelijke prints te krijgen van kwalitatief mindere negatieven en dia´s. Hetzelfde wat ik nu heerlijk zonder chemicaliën bij daglicht op de monitor doe. Ik zou er in de analoge tijd heel wat voor over hebben gehad om ook iets als een beeldverscherper te hebben gehad. En voor creatieve fotografie kies je voor raw opnamen, dan krijg je het beeld precies zoals je oog het heeft gezien, en creatiever kan het toch niet.

A bit of `brightness and contrast and altering the whitebalance will do a lot.

Does this tool also correct the deformation due to rain and raindrops?

hmm... Eerst zien dan geloven, als het werkt en ik ben sceptisch dan is het gewoon weer een extra tooltje, zoals de denoiser, sharpning en ieder ander Gimp/Photoshop tooltje.

Het is nog altijd de fotograaf die op het knopje drukt en het moment vastlegt.
