Hi, I recommend you to look at gmic (http://gmic.sourceforge.net/gimp.shtml) It has very good denoising algorithms that you can probably apply on a selection and get a decent results :) Greetings, Peter _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
