Anyone try Camera Shake Reduction in PS CC ?

I'm thinking Camera Shake Reduction might be a useful tool for those who shoot moving objects handheld. It's only available in PS CC. Here's one review I came across...

Anyone else try it?

This is one of the exciting options available in CC. However everything that I have read about (I don't have CC yet) it says that it is only for fixing blur/camera shake for shots that were taken from a stationary camera position. I just googled this and looked at 5 different reviews/tutorials of this function and none of them use an example of a moving object. Even the link to the pdf that you supplied shows stationary camera position. In one of the links that I read about this when it was first released the author made a point of telling us that it does not work on panned shots. I'm not sure but I would not make the jump to CC based on this for fixing shots of race cars that are blurry. I'm not sure how they can tell but they say they can and that is detect if the blurriness is due to camera shake or subject movement. I'm sure this will improve as time goes on with future releases.

There are some great new features in CC and as much as I hate the concept of it I will probably go to it when they have added a little bit more since I already have CS6. I love the fact that they have made liquify to be able to be done on a smart filter and I think that most filters can now be done this way but the liquify one is a filter I use alot. The automatic upright in ACR is great as well though I use C1 for my RAW conversions and they have had this for awhile. The tutorials I have seen for smart sharpen have greatly improved results. Conditional actions is about time they have started to add this and I see this only getting more functional in the future. There are a number of housekeeping items like how they handle merging of layers if you have manually entered a name on one layer it can detect that and keep that name.

As I said I find it an interesting release but not enough to get me there just yet and I hate the arrogance that Adobe has shown by saying this way or nothing as far as creative cloud. I think it will be interesting to see if anyone has used the shake reduction and the results they are getting. It does create some additional noise and artifacts according to the tutorials that I have seen online.

Thanks for pointing this out. Some how I missed it. I was thinking it would be a good tool for panning...BIF, race cars, aircraft, etc. Bummer.

I've used this feature on photos I thought were ruined by being out of focus. However, I was suprised at how well it was able to sharpen the image back up. Now mind you, if you pixel peep you will see that it softens or sort of adds like noise. However, for something being posted to the web at a reasonable size, it has fixed out of focus shots.

Can you show some before/after examples?

When they talk about not being able to correct panned shots there are two possiblities, one of which I can understand being uncorrectable. Unless it is a very high shutter speed/slow pan correcting the background is going to be a non starter. Correcting a slight over/under pan, or target starting to move away from the direction of pan should be relativly simple. Not having had a close look at how it works the only possible problem I see is if it only corrects the whole image in one attempt. Even then I would expect that if you have a very plain sky as a background as in aircraft or BiF you should be OK. Otherwise one could always place the target on a separate layer for correction on it's own. I can see no difference between the camera moving in relation to a static target, and the same relative movement to a moving target.

In my case I pan aircraft at slow shutter speeds to capture prop blur. 1/160s, 1/250s are typical shutter speeds I use. A soft image may result from me not tracking the plane properly while panning. But I suspect some of the softness might be due to the up & down jitter I induce while trying to hold a heavy camera/lens.

Probably wouldn't hurt to give CSR a try.
