Xsight Technologies is coming out with a new tool that truly sharpens images and compresses them simultaneously. It's currently available as a website application, and soon they will have an iOS and Android version.

Olympus XZ-2 iHS Test
Here's an example of a photo I took at the Wayside in Sudbury, Massachusetts on October 30, 2016. The photo was taken with my Olympus XZ-2 iHS, and the default file size is 3.925.7 MB.
The rocks on the building are clearer and the fall colors do pop out more using Magic Pictures. I can see how this could really make photos pop.
iPhone 6s Plus Testing
In my testing, I found that pictures taken with my Olympus XZ-2 iHS had better file size compression. Photos taken with my iPhone 6s Plus had much clearer pictures but were slightly larger. Here's an example of the iPhone 6s Plus:
In the side-by-side comparison, I can tell that the colors are brighter and the grass and trees aren't as blurry as they are in the original.
