I decided to revisit this image.


I can remove the hash pattern by using a no-op command:

However this introduces bloctches.

Previously I discovered I could cancel out the blotches and hash by adding on some color space conversions and averaging the final result in Photoshop.
however this changed the tone of the image.

Help me find a cleaner way to do this.

What IM version and platform? Please read viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9620.

If you are on Unix (linux, mac osx or window with cygwin), then you can try my script notch at the link below.

I ran this command and it reduces the impact of the dither pattern, but does not remove it altogether.

Im aware of your excellent notch script. I gives a cleaner result than the basic no-op operation. Currently I have v6.9.2-6 Q16 HDRI x64 installed on Windows 10.

Unfortunately, my scripts do not work on basic Windows. You would have to install Cygwin. Or you could create the spectrum mask manually and apply it to the FFT magnitude image and then convert back with IFT with Windows. You need to install the FFTW delegate library. See http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/ ... se_removal and viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14251#p56836

If you decide to try to do it manually, then these are the spectrum and mask images that were created and used by my script.





The bright spots near the corners and mid-sides in the spectrum are what are being removed by the (black regions in the) mask. Perhaps if you make the dark spots in the mask a little bigger, you might get better results.

I tied the suggestions but was not able to get much improvement. Any other ideas?

Sorry, no.

What exactly are you trying to remove? Fine vertical lines or the cross-hatch pattern in the top portion of the image?
