The purpose would be to use it to sharpen the in-focus portion of the picture only, leaving the rest untouched. Or, to apply a small "blur width" to the subject, then reverse the mask and do a second pass to bring a slightly out-of-focus background into better focus. Is this possible in Photoshop, PS Elements, or other plug-in compatible programs? Yes, you can selectively apply it with a mask, and even make it graduated. I found that most images can benefit from at least a 1 on the focus magic. I think it can be run entirely outside of an editing program too.
