Note to Windows users : This is not a typical Windows application - it is a Java application running in the standard MS-DOS window. The Java Runtime Environment (JRE), either version 2 or 5, must be installed on your PC. Then to launch the program a DOS batch file is used to set up the required Path to the Java runtime executable, namely 'javaw.exe' A typical batch file, for Windows XP Pro, is shown below: A generic batch file, with some standard paths, is available on the Unshake website.

When the batch file is run, there is a short pause while all required files are loaded and then the Java application runs with an array of windows as shown here: For this example we have used the blurred test Source file 'meerkat.jpg'.  A Results file is generated with the DeBlur function, using the default 'Normal blur' and 'Basic' quality settings along with an arbitrary amplification factor of 10.
