Any recommendations for a cheap/freeware JPEG artifact remover
plugin
for Photoshop?
Make one yourself, e.g. like this:
– Create a pattern, 8×8 pixels.
– Start with all white, then fill in the 6×6 center with black.
The next steps can be recorded in an action:
– Create a new channel.
– Fill it with the pattern.
– Load the channel as selection.
– Re-activate the RGB channel.
Now experiment to your heart’s content with Gaussian Blur and other filters to blur the sharp edges of the 8×8 blocks. If you find a filter that works for you, you can add it to the action you just created. You can even make the action interactive so you can adjust the amount depending on the source image.
