Sharpener Pro 3
Sharpener Pro 3 is a professional image sharpening and enhancement application developed by Nik Software (later acquired by Google). It's designed for photographers, graphic designers, and digital imaging professionals who need advanced sharpening capabilities beyond what basic photo editors provide. The software offers sophisticated algorithms for selective sharpening, noise reduction, and image detail enhancement. It was particularly popular among professional photographers for preparing images for print or web publication, offering precise control over sharpening parameters and the ability to target specific areas of an image.

1 suggestionBased on the search results and the Google bundle ID (com.google.shp3rps.app), this appears to be part of Google's Nik Collection that was discontinued years ago. Google stopped active development of the Nik Collection plugins around 2017, making it unlikely that a native Apple Silicon version will ever be released. For professional image sharpening, consider switching to Topaz Sharpen AI, which offers modern AI-powered sharpening capabilities and runs natively on Apple Silicon. Alternatively, Adobe Photoshop's built-in sharpening tools or ON1 Resize have become much more sophisticated and offer similar professional-grade sharpening capabilities.
