BlurFix

Pictures come in several types of formats, with varying degrees of quality levels. Although a poorly taken image can never be transformed into a jewel of perfection, there are digital solutions to fixing unwanted effects that made it into the final picture. Addressing deblurring issues is BlurFix, formerly known as Robust Motion Deblurring System, a program that can also remove noise from target pictures.

The utility is highly straightforward and can load PNG, BMP, and JPG images; however, the program can only process photos of 800x800 pixels maximum resolution and the overall processing time can be quite lengthy.

Several parameters can be adjusted, such as the target blur size – built-in values include 'small', 'medium', and 'large', and users who are not satisfied with these options can also define custom sizes (accepted values are in between 3 and 121 pixels).

Ringing (ripple-like elements) and noise effects can also be targeted, although it should be stated that these can significantly increase the processing time. One of the great features of this lightweight application is its support for both CPU and GPU processors; users who find the deblurring process too long can switch between the available choices to improve results.

The interface is based on multiple tabs, thus ensuring users can make ample and informative comparisons between input and output images. Magnification factors can also be employed to spot any details and processed photos can be exported to either PNG, BMP or JPG formats.

To sum up, BlurFix is a practical application that allows users to remove ripple, noise and blur effects from their photos. The program is resource-intensive and allows one to process PNG, JPG or BMP documents using either the CPU or GPU units.
