Step 1
So, you evaluated the artistic quality of the picture from the printed edition, scanned it, and what happened? The image looks completely different from the cover of a glossy magazine. The periodic grid is clearly visible even to the naked eye. This phenomenon is called raster. This quality is unlikely to be suitable for preparing an article in electronic form. How to get rid of moire if you haven't found another picture?
Step 2
There are several ways to delete a raster. Use scanners with Descreen functionality. Keep in mind, budget scanners come with coarse filters that only add moire. Opt for semi-professional scanners, but they are more expensive.
Step 3
Embed the Descreen plugin in your usual graphics editor. By processing the image in the program, you will achieve better results than if you only use a scanner, even a professional one. Designers use sophisticated techniques to process photos and achieve significant success. If the image does not require professional design processing, get rid of the raster using ordinary, simple graphic editors. For example, the Neat Image program. The program is specially designed for moire removal and supports the Deescreen plugin.
Step 4
You can do an excellent job with moiré if you are comfortable with Adobe Photoshop settings. Keep in mind, using this program requires a decent amount of computing power from your PC. Install the Descreen plugin for Adobe Photoshop. By deleting a raster using this program, you will cope with the loss of image sharpness. In addition, Adobe Photoshop has settings that will help you remove image artifacts such as graininess and unevenness. To remove noise, use the filters Median, Smart blur, Scratches, Despeckle.
Step 5
In any case, read the manual before starting to use a program that is new to you. Although if you don't need professional picture quality, pay attention to the automatic settings mode. Just do not enter any settings manually, use the Auto item, check the appropriate box.
Adobe Photoshop allows you to adjust the sharpness of the image without the use of additional plug-ins. To do this, use the Sharpness slider. Remove moire in Reduce moire mode.
