A six-minute clip of Adobe's MAX 2011 sneak peek showing a Photoshop prototype that removes motion blur from photos. The audience reacts with astonishment as blurry images become legible.
Linked as a memorable early demo of image deblurring whenever threads on image restoration or synthesis come up.

The audience reaction was great. It reminds me of a similar audience reaction in this video of motion kernel de-blurring in Adobe Photoshop from 2011 (at about 1:17 in the video) ▶ this video Audience: "No way!" and "That's impossible!" and "How did it do that?"
The low resolution to high resolution image synthesis reminds me of the unblur tool that Adobe demoed during Adobe MAX in 2011. Here is the relevant clip if you're interested ▶ this video
Very impressive. It reminded me of a demo from Adobe at MAX 2011 that showed promising results; it was more focused on eliminating defects from real images to produce a more aesthetic result. ▶ this video
