AKVIS Refocus AI is a specialized focus-adjustment and photo enhancement software designed to rescue blurry, out-of-focus, or shaky images through dramatic “before and after” transformations. By combining advanced artificial intelligence algorithms with artistic lens blur tools, the software allows photographers to re-engineer the depth of field and sharpness of an image after it has been captured.
The program provides a workspace with dedicated “Before” and “After” tabs so you can visually track your image transformations in real time. Core Processing Modes
The software operates across five main processing modes, each designed to tackle specific photographic issues or create stylized aesthetic changes: 1. Refocus AI Mode
This is the flagship mode of the software, split into two main tools:
Motion Deblur AI: Uses trained neural networks to detect and reverse complex camera shake, fast-moving object blur, and micro-tremors. It can rescue unrepeatable action shots or clarify critical, missing textures like text or a car license plate.
Image Sharpening: Focuses on adjusting general pixel contrast, edge sharpness, and removing hazy boundaries to make the entire shot crisper. 2. Selective Focus & Background Defocus
A premium feature (available in Deluxe/Business editions) that lets you manually separate a primary subject from its background using simple color-coded strokes. By painting blue strokes on the subject and red strokes on the background, the AI isolates your focal point, dramatically sharpening the subject while softly blurring the background to mimic expensive wide-aperture lenses. 3. Tilt-Shift Mode
This creates a miniature or toy-town aesthetic from full-scale real-world photos. It isolates a sharp horizontal strip across the image and transitions into gradual, heavy blur toward the top and bottom margins, mimicking the look of physical tilt-shift camera lenses. 4. Iris Blur Mode
Perfect for close-ups and portrait photography, this mode creates a selective focus zone using an adjustable geometric mask (ellipses or rectangles). The center of the mask remains intensely sharp, while the surrounding background falls off into a smooth, customized bokeh effect. 5. Motion and Radial Blur Modes
Motion Blur: Artificially smears a photo in a straight line to simulate high-speed linear travel, allowing you to add dynamic energy to static objects like stationary cars or runners.
Radial Blur: Creates a circular spinning or zooming effect, pulling the viewer’s eye sharply into the center of the transformation. How the Before and After Workflow Works
Transforming an image typically follows a simple, non-destructive step-by-step process: AKVIS Refocus AI 11.9 – Focus Improvement & Blur Effects
