The Gimp plug-in descreen works in the frequency domain by means of a fourier decomposition. I think, darktable has means to do this too, but I don't know how or if the pixel patches aren't simply too large. Exactly in commercial print - all dots are at 100% density. They are smaller or

The dt equalizer is using Fourier Transform as is the Gimp process you may need to understand how it works to get a reasonable result rather than relying on 'pushing-a-button' and expecting results. On 08/31/2018 01:26 PM, ternaryd wrote: > On Fri, 31 Aug 2018 15:27:53 -0400 > Michael

Since the Gimp process is using FFT ... using the equalizer in dt could provide similar results. Did you try that and what was the result? On 08/31/2018 11:12 AM, Michael wrote: > it looked as if descreen got rid of pattern noise (or what could be > interpretted as). > > On Fri, Aug 31, 2018 at

Hence, my question: Can the descreen operation of that Gimp plug-in been done in darktable? A demonstration of this operation can be seen for instance on http://www.zoyinc.com/?p=1529 To my best knowledge - it is not possible to use Gimp plug-in in darktable. I have never seen a plugin in
