Nik Sharpener Pro 3 has a "Focus" slider that is amazing.
Nik Sharpener Pro 3 is a great tool, however it will not fix/remove motion blur as this proposed "Removal of Blur" promises, or even do what it implies, "focus" an out of focus image. Here is the version of the story in the Photoshop blog;

Sharpener Pro 3 is another tool which should be used with great restraint, or you will find the resulting final image over populated with unwanted sharpening artifacts. More is not always better. The same can be said for the over use of Topaz, which also introduces ugly artifacts, the existence of which many of the heavy users deny.
There are few plugins or filters which will save a truly out of focus, beyond redemption image, but the Nik tools, and I include Dfine 2, Viveza 2, Color Efex Pro 4, and Silver Efex Pro 2 in that tool kit, will give you a head start on polishing a rough piece into a shining gem.
