| Question:
Help ! I can't seem to get the scanner to do it's job. My image was
scanned in with default setting at 300dpi. Seems that no matter what I do,
I get that darned burlap texture. What levels can you suggest to adjust
out this effect or do you think it is the scanner itself??-submitted by RJS Internet
Answer: It is actually called a moiré pattern, from the CMYK printing. If this is
for the web, I would suggest scanning it as high as possible, and then using
the blur filter, going to ADUST-LEVELS and then keep shrinking the size and
dpi at the same time. If it is at 300 dpi and it is 1.5 inches, then adjust
image size to 150 dpi and 4 inches at first. Then do the blur filter
again(or gaussian blur) and then go down to 72 dpi and 6 inches...etc. Once
the moiré pattern is out, then you can just adjust the size down to 4
inches, or 1.5 again, and you will gain resolution again. Make sure to experiment with a few different settings for the best results.
