My father in law just came back from Le Mans 2013 and had a few shots of car #95 before the fatal crash. No wonder he was sad, that the shutter speed he used was slightly too slow resulting in minor blur. This seemed like the perfect occasion to test that new shake reduction filter in Photoshop CC – providing both a clearer photo and memory of the great race driver Allan Simonsen…

The technical part

I used 2 estimation regions: one on car #95 and one on the leftmore tree. For the first the Blur Trace Bounds was set to 40px and both Smoothing and Artifact Suppression was reduced slightly.

Finally I overlaid a highpass filtered version of the image to get sharpen the details even better.

The result is not printable for a poster, but definitely usable for postcard size print or Full HD wallpaper.

Below is a comparison of the before and after version – both scaled down from 15MP originals
