• Motion blur correction. Focus Magic can reduce blur caused by camera or subject movement during capture. You specify the direction and length of the motion, and the program applies deconvolution to restore lost detail.
• Advanced sharpening. The tool uses deconvolution-based algorithms that go beyond traditional sharpening methods. It aims to restore detail without creating visible halos or artifacts.
• Out-of-focus correction. Compensates for focus errors caused by lens limitations or missed focus. It reconstructs the image using mathematical models of blur.
• Noise-aware processing. Includes settings for handling noisy images, such as those shot in low light or at high ISO, while trying to preserve detail.
• Selective sharpening. Lets you apply sharpening to selected areas when used together with selections or layers in the host application. Useful for portraits or compositions with multiple planes.
• Batch processing. Supports automated editing of multiple files with the same settings through the host application's actions. Saves time on projects with large numbers of images.
• Photoshop integration. Works as a plugin within Adobe Photoshop and other compatible editors, so it fits into the standard workflow.
• Detailed parameter control. Offers control over the blur amount and sharpening strength. Lets you tailor the result to the type of image.
• High-resolution support. Can process large, high-resolution images. RAW files are typically opened and converted in the host application first.
• Scan improvement. Helps improve the sharpness of scanned images and documents.

Focus Magic was developed by Acclaim Software Ltd. The program is based on research in image restoration and computational optics.
