These photos [0] seem better as you can click on the high-res option! I am only running linux but do you think the SmartDeblur program (Mac/Win) [3] would work here? Some cool examples [1] [2]. [4] seems like the best option for the SmartDeblur.

I tried it with both the stable version the github page links to and the latest beta version on http://smartdeblur.net/. Other than changing the blurryness to blockyness, it doesn't seem to do a whole lot. [1]

Maybe it works better on motion blur e.g. because with motion blur all of the information is still there (just overlayed or convoluted in some other way), while this image is just an interpolated version of a smaller image that doesn't contain as much information.

It's definitely possible that someone else might be able to change some program settings for the better though.

After playing with SmartDeblur myself I concur with this finding. No betterment to be had.
