How to remove bands caused by dot structure of printed original

Using digital photography to capture the image of a large poster printed with dot structure.  Portions of the image have bands caused by the pattern of dots.  Resizing and rotating doesn't reduce or eliminate.  What is the best way to remove these bands in Photoshop?  Note: clone tool not satisfactory (causes fuzziness, blurring). Tried selecting the affected area(s) and using Gaussian Blur but bands are too wide.  Same for Dust and Scratches.  Maybe there isn't a good way to remove them.  Anyone have experience with this?

As Curt says.  It is Moiré pattern from the dots.  This one goes way back to the legendary Wayne Fulton's Scan Tips.Com which was set up in 1997!

  • How to remove a package from package structure?

    Hello profs,
    i have a problem. I add a package 'A' to another package 'B' in the package builder.
    Now i don't know how to remove package 'A' from the list of package 'B'.
    I have not found in the docu of package builder how to remove a package from the included list.
    Has somebody an idea how to do it?
    Thanks a lot.

    I found out that the relation between the packages saved in table TDEVC.
    Field PARENTCL contains the surrounding package 'B' of the package 'A' field DEVCLASS.
    At the moment the only way to remove the package is to modify the table.
    But i look for another possibility for this issue.
    Best regards

    ::By the way, do you know how to scan single sides of a book wihtou
    these inner "edges" --> I mean the inner waves/shafts (its not plane).
    Sadly, the only "trick" I know for this is to cut the book apart. You
    probably do not want to do this. Someone else may know a way, or there may
    well be specialized equipment that does not require destroying the book.
    As for duplicating your illustrations in Illustrator or similar programs, I
    would place the image you wish to duplicate on the bottom layer, with that
    layer locked and dimmed. On a new layer above it, you can use the old art as
    a guide for quickly drawing new art.

  • How to remove banding from exported images (png, tiff) from illustrator layout with gradient

    is there any way to remove or reduce banding that I am getting in a layout I've done that contains a gradient? I am exporting raster images (png or tiff) and there is a noticeable stepping of tonalities, rather than a smooth shift
    thanks

    In an 8bit format like PNG you only have 1024 unique levels...
    1024 is 10 bits. 8 bits is 256.
    But PNG is an RGB 8-bit per channel format. That yields 256^3 (i.e.; 24-bit or 16.7 million) potential "levels" (colors).
    ...banding that I am getting in a layout...
    Banding that you are getting where?
    What are the specific color values involved?
    What is the final use?
    What will be the distance across the gradient in its final use?
    You have to consider whether the banding is actually in the raster image, or if it is merely an artifact of where/how the image is being viewed.
    Banding is not a simple matter of image color depth. Banding is a device-dependent phenomena. The banding you see on your monitor is not the same banding that will be seen on your grayscale laser printer; is not the same banding that will be seen on your CMYK inkjet printer; is not the same banding that will be seen on press. Banding in print is generally more a function of levels of gray (per separation) of the imaging device, and can vary depending on the halftone ruling (assuming conventional AM screening).
    Depending on the answers to the questions above, you may very well be fretting over nothing.

  • How to remove 'ripple' caused by vibration

    Hi,
    Fairly new to editing in Adobe CS. But I am having problems with one of my clips, and I just cannot figure out a solution.
    I fly a multicopter with a gopro moounted. Today I had to use a 'backup' drone of mine that occasionaliy give me video with a ;ripple' caused by vibration from the props. Usually I just cut out the video that has this ripple, but the video I have now has it all, and I cannot figure out an effect, or fix in either Premiere Pro or After effects to clean it up.
    An example of this is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqH_dZDsCIM
    Youtubes compression makes it looks worse than it really is, but you get the idea of the problem.
    Help please.

    Okay I am deleting me first response because I didn't look at your video, I just assumed, and assumed incorrectly that you were talking about rolling shutter problems. The flicker you are seeing is caused by lens flare because you have no lens hood and the sunlight is coming down through the props. There's a great deflicker plug-in that will probably fix your shot.
    Flicker Free: Deflicker Time Lapse, LED flicker, and Slow motion
    In case you're wondering about what I said before, I had assumed that your problem was caused by Rolling shutter problems. The best way to solve rolling shutter problems is to shoot a high frame rate then run warp stabilizer or a rolling shutter repair plug-in. There are several to choose from.

  • How to remove the account name from header when printing emails

    In outlook 2007 using Exchange Server 2007 users wishing to print an email using memo style have a header consisting of the account user's full name and a bold line under it, then the friendly email headers and body. Is there a way to remove/configure
    the memo style header?
    Marc

    Hi Marc,
    Unfortunately, there is no way in Outlook to change or remove the name or message header which is being displayed at the top of a printed message. It is tied to the Display Name of your email account which you can’t modify yourself for an Exchange account.

  • How to remove the grid at the time of printing?

    I could not find where to disable printing of the grid. The printer prints it constantly.

    Hi SA,
    Numbers does not have a print gridlines/don't print gridlines option.
    In Numbers, there are Cell Borders. They are not the same as Gridlines in Excel. In Numbers, you must set the Cell Borders to your liking.
    Here is a screen shot of Table 1 with 1 pt gridlines. Those gridlines will print.
    Table 1-1 (selected in the Sheets Pane on the left of this screen shot) has a grid that is visible to help you while you are working on it:
    I selected Table 1-1 (the square 'handles' show that the whole Table is selected)
    and then in Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > None.
    Here is a screen shot of Sheet 1 after File > Print...
    Table 1 (1 pt cell borders) will print with borders. Table 1-1 (Stroke > None) will not print with Cell borders.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • ****URGENT*** HOW TO REMOVE SOLUTIONCENTER.MSI MESSAGES ***PLZ HELP***A909N PRINTER

    System Model: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
    Printer: A909N
    OS: Windows 7 64 bit
    Chanages to System: None
    Why can't I find a solution to this on going situation? These dialog boxes continually appear, it is totally annoying - why can't HP FIX this situation? I found the following on the web but as I followed the instructions - lo and behold - I don't not have the following file 'hprbui.exe' - so I am sort of like lost as to what to do next? I am looking for something to cease these dialog messages...
    Disabling Notifications
    1Turn your computer on and wait for Windows to load. Click "Start" and select "Computer." Open the C drive, commonly labeled "Local Disk" or "C:" and then open "Program Files." Open the HP folder and double-click "Digital Imaging" then "Product Assistant." Select "Bin" and double-click "hprbui.exe" to launch the HP product assistant.
    2Click "Preferences" and "Disable Notifications." Select "Disable Solution Updates" and click "OK" in the resulting dialog box. Exit the Product Assistant and click "Start" then "All Programs." Click HP then open the HPSolution Center. Alternately, you can type "HP Solution Center" in the Windows Explorer search bar directly under "All Programs" to find the software.
    3
    Click "Settings" and move the cursor over "Other" to bring up a menu. Select "Update Preferences" and un-check the box labeled "Enable help Contents updates automatically." Press "Close" and exit the Solution Center.
    Please don't instruct me to delete the Solution Center program and re-install with the CD that came with printer. Why, the CD that came with the printer is obsolete per HP Printer Support - I have been calling (early 2011) on the problem since I was instructed to download one of HP's software upgrade to the HP Solution Center (as a matter of fact - I received a 'fatal error'). I was fortunate enough to be get my system back (without HP's support...)
    I also received this error code (ONE time only thus far) Windows Installer Configure Solution Center Error Code is 2761 - Solution Center.MSI...

    The install program is looking for the original temporary install directory (7ZSxxxxx)  in the dialog box. Since this was probably deleted from the computer you need to you run the HP Printer install program for your printer up to the point it has extracted all files and arrives at the HP install screen - it will create a new folder of a similar file name in the temp folder (usually 7ZSxxxxx) . access the folder by "Start" "Run"  "%temp%" and rename the folder to the name that is showing in the dialog box. (The dialog box can usually be made to reappear by starting the HP Solution Center if not showing) Now click "OK " and the install should finish and ask for a restart.
