Scanned images have 'stepped' curved lines
2 Attachment(s)
I've recently been sent some images for cleaning up prior to being used in high-quality with printing. However I've noticed that curved edges in the images are not smooth but are made up of a series of 'steps'. See attached screen grabs.
Does anyone know how these might have been generated? The original scans were at 400dpi (annoyingly in Index Color space instead of grayscale). I believe they were done on an Epson flatbed scanner. Anyone have any idea? |
Found it!
The original scans were fine. However, if I tried to straighten the image (wonky horizon etc) while still in Index Color space, the stepped effect appears. If I convert to Grayscale first and then straighten, there isn't an issue. Hope that proves useful to someone else out there! |
