Shakyr Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Hi, Have been cleaning up some old photos using Paint .NET that came out a bit dark and I've found Autolevel does it nicely, but it occasionally leaves the image "grainy". Is there a way to remove or lessen this? I've attached one of the images (Autolevel + Resize 25%). Cheers, Quote Daryl Keehn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panhead Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 i believe the grains are called noise, median blur is supposed to be noise reduction, but i prefure to use small amounts of blurs, and then sharpening, if it is to blurry Quote My deviantART iGraphix ~96% of teens won't stand up for God.

pyrochild Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Autolevel itself is not making the images grainy. Rather, they were already grainy, but were darker so it was not as apparent. Autolevel just made it more... obvious. As for REMOVING the grain, you can try the GREYCstoration plugin or the method that Panhead suggested. Panhead's way is much easier, but the plugin will give you a much better final result, as well as giving you far more control over the final image. But GREYCstoration has been called "evil" for a reason... So, good luck.
