Lightroom/Camera Raw: Deconvolution to fix focus and motion blur
By far my number one feature request for Lightroom would be (and has been since at least version 4) the ability to do to the raw files what Focus Magic does to image files - fix out-of-focus blur and/or motion blur. Even seemingly-sharp images often have some fraction of a pixel of motion blur, and fixing this can result in way better looking images.
This is an example that's not all that sharp to begin with, but it's used to illustrate what I mean. Lightroom's sharpening on top, deconvolution for motion blur on the bottom.

This was added to Photoshop a few years ago. What I want is a subset of that functionality.
There's an expression in photography. "My best lens is my tripod." That expression wouldn't exist if motion blur weren't a part of most hand-held shots. Even a fraction of a pixel of motion blur can reduce effective resolution by half or more, and the same goes with out-of-focus blur.
It's such a hassle to round-trip to PS just to use Focus Magic that I rarely do it. If it were in Lightroom so I wouldn't have to create a derivative file and deal with it in PS, then I'd use it more and get better pictures more often.

So, Adobe, how's it going on adding this crucial feature? Most people don't even realize that their images have motion blur so an "auto-detect" feature would make it even more useful.
