Picture Cooler use a deconvolution algoritm to improve sharpness of pictures.<br><br>digiKam has already a Deconvolution filter witch do exactly the same (:=)))... Are you tried Sharpness Editor tool in Image Editor, and especially the "Refocus" filter :

http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-graphics/digikam/photographic-editing.html#refocus</a><br><br>Is Picture Cooler support 16 bits color depth pictures, and especially RAW file format ? ... because digiKam can do it !
<br><br>Ah, forget to said : digiKAm is an open source program. I don't need to pay 15$ to use a proprietary program.<br><br>Also, during this summer, we will port digiKam under Qt4. digiKam will be available under Win32 and OSX as well...

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Someone has a secret to tell you about Better image enhancement techniques. Here's the secret..</p>
<p>Hello!
I am a very happy digikam user and evangelist. Thank you very much for everything you do.
Recently I noticed that some windows users have better results than me and digikam, with a software called Picture Cooler:
<a href="http://members.chello.nl/r.kroonenberg2/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://members.chello.nl/r.kroonenberg2/</a>
With a single click they get impressive results.
Before:

After one click in Picture Cooler:

</a>
The techniques used by the programmer of this software are explained at the bottom of this page:

What do you think?</p>
