2.8.3 Simulating Film Grain - Covering
Up Blemishes with Noise and Pixels
Covering Up Blemishes
For this exercise, we will use the picture from Miami again. We saved it as
a JPEG for the Web. What if we compressed it too much and therefore got
compression artifacts? What other methods are there to edit images with
obvious damage such as compression artifacts? For example, suppose you
have an old and highly compressed image from a website. The
Selective
Gaussian Blur filter
can help, but let us look at further options.
Covering Up Blemishes with Noise
Open
compressionartifacts.jpg
from the
SampleImages
folder on the DVD.
Enlarge the image by 200% so you can make out the compression artifacts.

filter window. In the
image window, you
can see the result of
applying the filter.
