Noise Eraser/Remover Anonymous
Can someone teach me how to erase/remove the noise in this pic

That's not noise; it's a moire pattern.

Did you scan it yourself? If so, scan it at a 40 degree angle to your scanner beam.

If not, then there's no easy way to "remove" the pattern; it's irreperable. You can reduce it a touch with Photoshop, or vector the image, but that's akin to completely redrawing it.

I ran the following filters, adjusted a bit:

Reduce Noise

then these two on a duplicate layer of the reduced noise layer:

Median
Smart Blur

after that I did a color select on black and duplicated all the dark lines that got selected, then moved that layer over the top whole thing, and reduced the opacity of the duplicate layer to 50%. This is the result.

Both of these look shittier than the original. Do you know why, kids? It's because FILTERING THROWS AWAY INFORMATION.

Some filters try to throw away information in a semi-intelligent manner (edge sharpening, selective Gaussian blur, etc.), but the image will still lose detail no matter what, and usually ends up looking all blurry like these ones do.

In other words: do the scanning right, and then leave the image the hell alone!

Hello relatively noise free picture.

Sacrafice quality in some ways for quality in others.

The image looks over all better with>>263622that version.

The original was perfectly fine the way it was, except for the slight noise. Your "refined" copies look like absolute shit, they lost a lot of color, and they make my eyes strain.

Protip: The "noise" you see in the original is due to loss of information because you didn't scan it right. By using filters and all of that other shit, you are adding information that wasn't there before and taking away what was. The further you fuck with it, the further it becomes a mess.

But what's missing in that image that was necessary? Resize it down a tiny bit and the blur is gone, the colors are better in both and there's no noise. If the guy wanted to remove noise, he knew people have to use filters.

this is what people do when they don't have the original scan source :P

1. scan at 600dpi
2. filter just slightly
3. size down to 50% or less

Obviously a LOT of visual information!!

You idiot, there is an OBVIOUS LOSS of color and detail. If you don't know anything about image editing, don't open your n00b mouth.

Here, I made it simple for you. Compare the left side with the right.

Most scanners have an option "unsharp mask", that's enabled by default: DISABLE IT!

It's not gonna get much better than this without scanning it right. Or redrawing it.

-Don't use Window's drivers for your scanner. Go to the manufacturer's website and install the proper drivers and software for your scanner.

-Make sure you activate manual/advanced/professional mode in your scanner software. Poke around in the options and turn off sharpen/unsharp mask, as this will only enhance any noise.

-Also look around for an option labeled descreen/noise reduction/magazine mode and enable it. This is the most effective method for reducing noise but not all filters are equal and some scanners don't even have such an option.

-Try to do as much color correcting as possible at time of scan. Do a quick prescan and remove the image. Compare the original side by side with the prescan, adjusting color and exposure as close as possible before making the final scan.

-When scanning things like magazine pages, if the back of your scanner lid isn't already black, place a piece of black construction paper behind the page to reduce ghosting of the reverse side in the scan.

>scan it at a 40 degree angle to your scanner beam.
Although that can reduce interference patterns, the process of rotating back straight blurs the image slightly. Sometimes you can reduce that effect by first blowing it up 2x then rotating and scaling it back down to the original size.

Look at the hair - the detail is obliterated.

>>263965

It seams like only the highlights that are effected, and the only one to really get hit is the one with the black hair.... the rest of the degradation is not as bad.

And as for a post-scan touch up, its not bad all in all.

If the option to re-scan was always available, it would make things much easier... but that is not always an option.

However, you did provide some very nice Scanning tips. Thank you for that.
