Remove Scanner Banding Artifact

Post by Gail1991 »

Hello,

I am trying to remove the truly awful scanner banding on this old magazine image. I've had rather limited success with NeatImage. I wonder whether I might be going wrong somewhere. I'm basically just following the Basic Workflow Tutorial video but my results are quite poor.

Hi there. Yes. Is this possible with Neat Image?
Is this easy to do?

I did that with Neat Image and it was relatively easy.

Of course you would need to learn how to use Neat Image for that.
There are several guides on the website that can help with that.

Hello Vlad,

I did manage to remove most of the banding in Basic Mode but I could't quite get the quality you managed. I looked at Advanced but playing with the settings, I couldn't quite get your amazing result. Any tips?

Kind Regards

Only load those, you can see the changed filter settings.
