I have a Canon EOS 80D camera. Can anyone recommend suitable software that is best for removing blur from photos? I am aware of Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, although these are expensive. However, I would welcome advice on this. There seem to be so many apps on the market. I am also aware that some online software are prone to malware and viruses. I have a brand new Windows 11 PC and don't want to risk exposing my PC to potential viruses or malware.
I have questions, when you say remove "blur" the thing software can do is SHARPEN edges. This is a season to taste application of an unsharpen mask. You need the image to have a defined edge to sharpen. Also if you pixel peep at 100% your image will seem soft, you should be viewing at 300dpi as a gauge of sharpness. Is this what your asking for from software? If it is you can get some of this from freeware like GIMP, its just not as user friendly as the pay software. LR and PS can be subscription has gone up and I agree unless your processing regularly 240 a year is a bit steep for very light use. I have a old retail copy I have been using for a decade. If your Blur is do to a slow shutter speed, no amount of processing will help the blur from hand held movement and a slow shutter speed. For example a 1/100 using a 200mm lens will be noticeably soft without IS turned on. And IS can only save you so far. Without examples of the blur its hard to know what blur is being refered to here. I would use the term softness for a sharply focused image, which is slightly soft due to lens limitations or viewing a RAW file at 100%. Blur would be actually captured blur in the image.
