AKVIS Refocus improves sharpness of out-of-focus images. The program can process the entire photo, or bring into focus only the selected part to make the subject stand out against the background.

AKVIS Refocus improves sharpness of out-of-focus images. The program can process the entire photo, or bring into focus only the selected part to make the subject stand out against the background.
Even if a photo looks sharp enough, there is always room for improvement. To create a special effect and draw attention to certain details, you can use selective focus.
In digital photography the selective focus technique is used to shoot portraits, macro, and close-up photographs. For this purpose, one switches to aperture mode and adjusts the settings till the subject is in focus.
In AKVIS Refocus you can use two pencils to separate the subject from the background and adjust the settings to get the selective focus effect. There are also AKVIS presets which provide different degrees of sharpness.
To achieve a more realistic selective focus effect, you can sharpen one part of the photo and blur the rest. The Defocus feature that allows blurring the background is available only for Home Deluxe and Business licenses.
AKVIS Refocus is also helpful with landscape photos. When shooting an object or a landscape at a distance, you may notice that the picture looks hazy. AKVIS Refocus will make the photo more distinct and thus more impressive.
AKVIS Refocus is available in two versions - as an independent program (standalone) and as a plugin to a photo editor.

It only seems to miss the "undo"(present in other modes).

I saved both images and explored with 200% and 300% - the difference is even more visible. ;)
Actually, you write the opposite things, I do not understand what you mean.
Either you did not like the result or you mean that the result is identical the source image. If second, it's not the truth.
Also, sure that even larger copies do not have original size because they were prepared for web, resized.

This example was really made by our technical writer with AKVIS Refocus. And she used the image _larger_ x4_ than you can see on our web site.
(We bought the image on Fotolia and we can not share the full sized version.)
To get the exact same result on the same photo you need the same size.
