what's your settings?

for blurx

Essentially, what I learned is intead of letting blurex do an automatic psf evaluation, you just create a luminance mask of your image, go to image analysis and use FWHM Eccentricity and you just look at the mean value, for this image I think it was something like 4.05. You then take this value and use it in blur exterminator as the manual psf value with the strength at 1.0. Perfectly sharpens the image without oversharpening.

that is a super smart way of doing it. I will have to try that

yes! before I was basically just guessing and using what looked good and would sometimes cook an image but realize way to long after.
