moire' |
|

Just replaced a Canon with a HP scanner. The HP seems to have more problems
with moiré on some materials.
There's a "Descreen" filter in the driver that has limited effect on the
final output.
What do you-all do to prevent and treat moiré? |

Dan,
some time ago I used a program called Picture Publisher by
Micrografx. This program had an excellent moiré filter which
used clever mathematics to obtain a precise model of the moiré
pattern and deducted it perfectly without losing any visible
sharpness.
Unfortunately I haven't seen anything like it ever since, and I
had to drop Picture Publisher because of its excessive number of
defects.
The moiré filter in Paint Shop Pro is a joke in comparison. It
is only a soft filter that essentially doesn't remove the moiré
at all, it just reduces it along with any other high frequencies
by applying a low pass filter, making the whole picture soft.
While we're at it, does anybody know a third-party tool that
does what Picture Publisher did?

I have a version of PP (Think 6.0).
It was not the upgraded version and came for free with my Mustek (now
dead) scanner.
I don't recall this version of PP having the moire, however guess I
could be mistaken and just missed the option.
In any event, I have the CD. |

Don,
I don't know whether you feel like installing that heavyweight
program just to try the moiré removal filter, but if you do, let
us all know how it goes. I thought it was very impressive.
