Greetings,

I am wondering if there is a plug-in avaliable to do halftone removal. If there aren’t are there some good photoshop techniques. I do have some luck with multiple resizing steps but I would like something more robust. Sice the patterns are so regular and obvious, I know that Fourier techniques would work but I’d like to see an automated method.

Thanks for your time!

Tom

I wrote this recently:
It’s going to sound greek to you because it is actually written in greek http://www.dpgr.gr/index.php?page=FourierPS
But if you check out the links and the pictures, I’m sure you’ll get the point.
Mr Chirokov’s FFT plugins are available at

An (awfull) translation of the article in english can be obtained here: http://babelfish.altavista.com/

An alternative approach is to apply multiple passes with NeatImage, a noise reduction application, also available as a Photoshop plugin.

Fourier methods actually work quite well … you might take a look at some of the Reindeer Graphics Image Processing tutorials and plugins.
