I need this .... I reallllyyy need this

I think a lot of stock photographer's need this ;P

I've been messing with the free version, and it does work extremely well; however I am having a problem with it some areas - it is blurring things that need to be sharp - like leaves, branches and blades of grass along sky edges and shorelines. I'm sure I just need to learn more about the settings in the software, though. I haven't tried running it as a photoshop plugin yet, just as a standalone application. I am hoping that if I use it as a plugin, it will work with Selection and only clean up the areas I've selected, thus leaving the areas that are fine and which need to be sharp, alone.

I'm sure it does, Tami. In fact... *downloads and gives it a whril*

[b]edit;[/b] Ah crap, to get the photoshop plugin you have to pay money.. I think lol

Upon installation, it asks you if you want to install it to the plugins folder as well. I chose that option, but when I had PS open last night, I forgot to check and see if it was there and functional ....oops....
