[Leica] Photo time on my hands

We are under a shelter-in-place "order" (haven't seen the Guard out yet) 
except for essential errands, so I've been fiddling with software.  Here 
is a flower pic I liked but...I didn't get the focus right.  I've been 
experimenting with some of the Topaz software, in this case AI Sharpen.  
The "AI" refers to artificial intelligence, or "deep learning".  I don't 
know enough about that to comment, except that it is a challenge for my 
PC which is maxed out at 16gb of RAM and 4gb of VRAM and needs replacing.

The above is with the focus "fixed".  Here is a comparison of the raw 
file and the processed file:

Probably better if I got it right in the first place, but it looks like 
it has salvage potential.  I also like Topaz AI Gigapixel, which does a 
great job of enlarging.
