Great job PP--what a transformation! One can see the real plane of
focus and where it was manuplulated if the image is
scrutinized, but not viewing normally for enjoyment. I see FM
mentioned (fondly) even on the DXO forum where I posted a couple
questions.
I recently spotted a deconvolution discussion on LL:

>>Yes Photoshop's SMART SHARPEN is based on deconvolution (but you will
need to choose the "More Accurate" option and the Lens Blur >>kernel
for best results). Same with Camera Raw 6 and Lightroom 3 if you ramp
up the Detail slider."
see for more details:

Say what? Deconvolution hiding in plain sight?? Is that true?
Perhaps I have been asleep at the switch, but that never was apparent
to me.
It clearly doesn't use many iterations unlike the stand alone utilities
as it is waaaay too fast.
