Assassinator Wrote:Hey, that worked really well (your screenshot). What did you do? (you didn't just denoise did you...?)

No I didn't.. I used Ghost-killing filters

That's good. Because if you did denoise it enough to kill the halos, you just killed every detail that's there in the rest of the picture as well. Then I would need to stab you.

Ghost killing filters? Ghosting is generally extremely hard to remove, and even if you do, it won't be a perfect removal, since there is no way to recover what was lost (what was covered by the ghost). Mostly, it's very hard (for the computer) to detect what's a ghost, and what's not.

Which ghost removing filter? Ghostbuster? (« that I think attempts to do subtraction).

It just couldn't be the person who done the ISOs... I mean, it takes effort to inflict what appears to be 2 Main Levels of Haloing.. and like said, it isn't just a minor level. Rawr... I'll see if I can deal with the next (darker) level today..

Could be that it's originally like that, when they produced it. (= studio doesn't know how to sharpen).

But if that's really the case, then wouldn't you think they'd try to remaster the DVDs to remove the halos?

Yes
