This picture is a hard one to work with. I want to be able to have detail in the hills in the foreground, but get rid of the stupid scanner lines. I tried a vertical blur filter to get rid of the horizontal lines, and then messed with the contrast a bit. I like that in my version below there is still some detail in the hills, but I don't like it that my trees blend in with the hills in the background.

This is my latest attempt.

(If you want a copy of the full sized version of the picture below, it's here. And it's huge)

omg monster! You took lj's original funny idea and took it a step further. If I had coffee right now it would be all over my monitor!

LJ, that was funny as hell. Thanks for the laugh.

Glatt, did you do unmask sharpen filter? I did- maybe too much. It came out with more detail but I thought it might be too grainy for ya. I'll set some more time out today.

Rexmons · 09-13-2007, 12:50 PM

glatt just a thought, i was reading that there's a trick you can use when scanning pictures to get rid of those lines but it requires applying something to the picture itself pre-scan.

I don't have a current version of Photoshop, but I do have the GIMP and there's a tileable blur feature that lets you choose a vertical blur or horizontal blur or both. It's kind of neat. I figured that since the lines are horizontal, if I blurred things in the vertical axis, I could get rid of them without losing so much detail.

Here's an exaggerated sample of each.

Horizontal Blur

Vertical Blur

No worries. I already have a nice print hanging on my wall, and I have the negative somewhere, so I could always get it professionally scanned. I just wanted an easy decent quality digital copy. But the scanner I used was a low quality one (Printer/scanner/copier/card reader/fax machine all in one.)

I just figured it would be a good exercise trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Oh jeez- no.....maybe I'll get to crackin'.......once I can minimize the file size to an apropriate viewable file..
