    Focal blade is a Photoshop plugin for Windows. It's a sharpening tool. The web site is:

    I formerly used it when I ran Windows. On the Mac, I use Photokit Sharpener. There's a lively debate on which of these programs is better.

    Never tried the software myself. Interesting. Thanks for the link.

    Been using it for about 3yrs. Way better than USM as far as halos are concerned. Haven't had any other s/w to test it against. Personally, I'd recommend buying it (it is a bit more expensive than when I bought it - $49.95 can buy you a Canon off-camera flash cable). Why not try the demo and decide for yourself?

    What's also pleasant is that it's one of those packages that a once-off purchase gives you a lifetime of upgrades (at the mo anyway :D).
