We describe an algorithm for restoring full-disk solar intensity image
s blurred by a smooth, quasistationary point-spread function (PSF). Fo
r Earth-based observations, this type of data can be obtained by using
exposure times that are much longer than the redistribution time of t
he atmosphere. Using simulated data for a wide range of observing cond
itions, we show that the algorithm restores data in such a way that th
e RMS difference between an original, unblurred image and the restored
image is typically less than 1.0%. Thus, we substantially improve the
photometric precision. The simulations also show that under ''reasona
ble'' seeing conditions (less than or similar to 4 ''), exposure times
of 5-10 s are adequate to produce smooth calibratable PSFs if the obs
erving instrument uses a centroid-shifting tip/tilt wavefront correcti
on. The algorithm determines the PSF for each observation directly fro
m the recorded image and does not require separate measurements of poi
nt sources.
