Reducing Moire in a Scanned Cover or Label
 

Another tutorial with a worked example. The tut is in PDF format in the rar. Enjoy and any feedback/comments welcome.

Great Tutorial.. thanks

Thanks for the tut Kampar! I always thought a good rule of thumb was to use US mask at twice the radius of the GB? In any case, I hadn't tried the despeckle option so that was new for me. Also, I've had mixed results with manipulating a 600 dpi scan trying to reduce moire vs. immediately resizing to 300 and manipulating that image. Bottom line is that I've found the exact same procedure may not always work best and that it depends on the image!

I think with all these different filters it's a question of optimizing for each different image - I've found in the past that the 2x 'rule' sometimes makes edges too sharp, so I just usually set the amount at 100% , threshold at 3 or 4 and then adjust the radius until it looks about right - sometimes takes more, sometimes less.

It is strange (but probably just me) - I tend to work on covers in the 600DPI domain while labels i'll often resize to 300DPI and then do the work.

Whatever works as long as the results are good is okay with me!

Thanks Kampar, the more tuts the better.

Thanks very much for this! I'll have a look and see if I can do it! :thu

At first glance this apears to trade moire for sharpness, but in reducing to label size it is plenty sharp enough. Thanks and I'll work on this.

CHeersa for this tut matey been really struggling to clean an image up :)

Thnks for this...i need all the free help i can get! ;)

Thanks for the tutorial! Gonna check it out.
