  Description     : GIMP plugin to sharpen/re-focus images using FIR Wiener filtering

During image processing operations such as scanning and scaling, images
tend to get blurry. The blurred impression of these images is due to the
fact that image pixels are averaged with their neighbors. Blurred images
don't have sharp boundaries and look as though they have been taken with
an unfocussed camera.

Refocus is a plug-in for the Gimp (the GNU Image Manipulation Program).
This plug-in attempts to "refocus" the image, using a technique called
FIR Wiener filtering. The traditional technique for sharpening images is
to use unsharp masking. Refocus generally produces better results than
unsharp masking.

The plug-in comes with a preview that helps you select the best
parameters.
