** Descreen filter **

Dear All:

I have no idea how to remove half-tone dots from the scan printed image, as I want this image to re-print.

I heard there are some techniques and also filters available in Adobe Photoshop to remove the half-tone dots from the printed scan images.

Someone suggested me to use the Descreen filter method, but I don't know where it is available in Adobe Photoshop?

Awaiting your communication in this matter & thanking you.

It should be in your scanner software. If you got a half way good scanner.

I use 2 filters with success:
filters>noise>median and filters>noise>despeckle play with settings which depends of the size of your image and the size of the screen.
espect no miracles indeed...
watch out for your scanner software; most of all (recent ones) have a descreen option,
some embedded with the "newspaper/magazine" setting.
