ImageSkill: Magic Sharpener v. 1.5 and
competitive plug-ins
Oct 22, 2008, ImageSkill Software
Dear Subscriber,
We would strongly recommend you look at the excellent article about sharpening tool comparison written by Hugo Rodriguez (http://www.hugorodriguez.com). He is a pro photographer and works as a photo technique professor at GrisArt school of photography, and as a digital image / color management consultant at EGM Pro labs at Barcelona, Spain. I hope you enjoy this article. It is the most comprehensive and professionally done comparison of the modern sharpness plug-ins and filters I have ever seen. Originally it was written in Spanish (http://www.hugorodriguez.com/index_nitidez-perfecta.php) but the Google translation (Spanish to
English) version is also available.
The nine following plug-ins:
- Sharpen ASPhoto of AmphiSoft
- CrispImage Pro of Softwhile
- FocalBlade of ThePluginSite
- FocusFixer of FixerLabs
- FocusMagic of Acclaim Software
- MagicSharpener of ImageSkill
- Nik Sharpener Pro of Nik Software
- PhotoKit Sharpener of PixelGenius
- Smart Sharpen of ChromaSoftware
were carefully tested. Hugo Rodriguez being an independent expert expressed his appreciation to three of them: Focus Magic,
Magic Sharpener, and Photokit Sharpener. To his personal opinion they provide very good results keeping all fine details. We are happy that our
Magic Sharpener is among top 3 sharpening plug-ins.

Sincerely yours,
ImageSkill team.
