Short: Softener - PlugIn for ArtEffect2+ Author: remuss@cs.tu-berlin.de (Volker Remuß) Uploader: remuss cs tu-berlin de (Volker Remuß) Type: gfx/misc Version: 1.0ß Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is one of my plugins for ArtEffect2/3+. SmartMedian is a median-filter that blurs a picture without loosing sharp edges. It can remove noise visible in large equal areas and leaving details untouched. It is well suited to remove moirés from scanned printings without smoothing the details out. Very useful if natural pictures are mixed with artifical graphics/text, e.g. cover of a CD. Medianfilter of this type are sometimes known as despeckle filters. There is another similar plugin available: SmartBlur
