Adobe previews incredible Photoshop unblur image feature. Every year Adobe holds the MAX conference where it shows off the company’s latest products and what the future holds. This year, one of the sneak peeks shown off could make blurred photos a thing of the past–even after you’ve captured them with your camera of choice. We’ve all seen anti-blur features added to digital cameras in recent years, but they can’t always remove the blur from a shaky-hand capture.
Adobe may have the answer though, in the form of a new unblur feature that looks to be heading to Photoshop. As the video below demonstrates, Adobe has come up with a new algorithm that can analyze a blurred image and figure out how to correct it. It can handle all types of scenes and even sorts out fuzzy text making it readable again. Although just an early prototype, it looks as though the system is a three-step process. First you load some predefined parameters that suit the image type, then you analyze the blurred image, and finally you hit a button and the image magically unblurs.

Just a few moments ago, Adobe’s CTO Kevin Lynch took the stage at their annual MAX conference and explained the company’s Creative Cloud strategy. Part of that announcement is very big news for us: Typekit has been acquired by Adobe.
We are thrilled. There honestly is no better place for us to continue building our platform. But perhaps even more significantly, this represents a huge step forward in bringing fonts to the web. Not very long ago, web fonts were a curious and controversial debate. When the four of us founded this company, nobody knew if it would even work. It seems odd to look back not even three years with a sense of nostalgia, but the environment in which we build the web has changed so much in so little time. That was where we started. Second, we could innovate on the business side as well.
And grow it did. Of course, none of this would have been possible without an amazing collection of typefaces, created by the most talented type designers in the world. Like this: Android Devices Get Video Calling via Adobe. A new Adobe AIR demo is making the rounds today; it shows how Android phones can be used for user-to-user video calls. Built using an upcoming release of AIR 2.5, this app is the Android and Adobe developer communities' answer to FaceTime. The more generous in spirit would call this move "cheeky.
" At any rate, it throws yet another log on the bonfire that is the Adobe-Apple public dialog. The app was originally called "FlashTime," but the name was changed to avoid some confusion. Mark Doherty, Adobe's Flash Platform Evangelist for mobile, said this isn't an official release from Adobe; rather, it's something he built over the course of three days to test the features of AIR 2.5 for Android. We'd love to show you his demo video here, but unfortunately, that clip is currently password-protected and not for public consumption. Doherty doesn't plan to release the app as a product, but he said he will open-source the code. AIR and Flash for Android were announced first in February.
