OK Mike, you asked for it. :-)

We could natter on for a long time, speculating about deconvolution (now that 
I've looked it up). How about proof in the 
pudding - or leaf litter.

Please limit comments on artistic choices. I did these to test DXO's RAW 
conversion and standard processing defaults. 
They aren't finished display images, as that might mask the things I'm testing. 
I had to change one parameter to avoid a 
blown red channel. The ACR/PS versions use a number of tools.

One 100% sample. <http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/tech/DXO/_MG_2371fp1.htm>

Another 100% sample.

So whaddya think? Which tools(s) would you pick?

Questionable Moose
