Anyone know of a good program for blurry pictures?

Basically, got back from the Blind Faith concert with a couple of blurry pictures (I can't hold the god damn camera steady at a concert) and am looking for some kind of program that might be able to focus them a little bit better. There has got to be something like this. Either way, the concert was absolutely unbelievable. They even played some Hendrix tunes -- Them Changes, Little Wing, and Voodoo Chile (original on Electric Ladyland) .... holy shit. Apparently Winwood played organ for that album with Hendrix? I never knew that, but that's what the guy sitting behind me told me. I still can't believe I was there. Anyway, does anyone know of what would work in my situation?

For you Winwood and Clapton fans...

Soft focus can be fixed, to a point. Jittery hands make it MUCH harder to fix.

Host them somewhere, I'll take a look, if you like.

There are issues beyond the blur there; the highlights appear to be completely gone in example 1, almost gone in example 2. Example 3 is in the best shape, and I could probably get something relatively respectable from the high res. YHPM.

There IS a program specifically for this, but I can't remember the name off the top of my head. I saw it on here or over on the photo.net forums in the last couple weeks or so, so don't give up just yet! I believe it's java-based, so that might help in your search.

What a coincidence, so am I.

Isn't taking pictures at these shows specifically prohibited?

Um, if they prohibit camera's, it usually says so on your ticket -- and this show did not mention a thing. And either way, at sold out shows at MSG usually 95% of the people have a camera. So in this case, it's a win win situation for me.

Thanks, I'll keep looking.

Would the program you're talking about happen to be "Unshake"?

rivan throw up example 3 when you're done. I want to see what can be done to fix that! (i dont know anything about photo editing/fixing)

Also, Picasa has a built in filter set.

That would be it, good eye! I've never used it, but it could be of a little help to the OP.
