Hello, @Pbrks, I just want to point out that this file 1 is actually mine. The original Facebook post includes the caption "credit to the owner in this photo", and that owner is me. I took the photo myself during the protest in the morning. Here is the original post for verification: 2 that's why I undo your copyvio template. I also accept the deletion of these two files, as I acknowledge they were out of line and copyright-protected: 3, 4. Thank you! AdobongPogi (talk) 14:10, 14 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

@AdobongPogi: It is very clearly a screenshot from a video. Please follow the instructions left on your talk page. – Pbrks ^(t • c) 16:20, 14 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

What did you do to descreen File:Michael Harrington from the back cover of "The Accidental Century".jpeg? I don't see the ringing artifacts characteristic of a Fourier transform. FFTs also leave artifacts in black regions of the photo. Thanks! JayCubby (talk) 16:48, 20 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi JayCubby. I looked at the FFT of your previously uploaded image, and it appears you are not "fixing" the correct areas. How are you currently using FFT? – Pbrks ^(t • c) 02:29, 22 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

I took another look, and I'm usually a bit more careful. I use the burn tool (ideally) on the lighter regions. If the brush goes astray, it winds up with smudged lines. The transformed image (before any modifications to the spectrum) looks like this.

As I'm writing this, I remembered to try using the brush tool. The result isn't terribly different, with areas without regular noise having a pattern applied to them.

If the image isn't perfectly square, quality is lost (ringing artifacts). Some programs 'pad' the image until it's perfectly squared, but not the one I use. JayCubby (talk) 02:52, 22 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

@JayCubby: I see. Yes, but there are still a lot of places you missed. See your version. A giant brush around the edge like that is usually not all that helpful, and "correcting" close to the center is a bad idea in general. Consider using an automated process, like Descreen for (if you use Gimp). – Pbrks ^(t • c) 20:43, 24 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
