Smoothing video images
Because video images contain two interlaced pictures, you can some-
times see a slight banding effect in images acquired from video-
recording devices. You can correct this by using the De-Interlace fil-
ter and then applying the Unsharp Mask filter. De-Interlace works
with all image modes except Black & White.
To smooth video images
1
Select one or more paint objects to adjust. You can select an
area in one image to de-interlace the selected area only.
2
Choose Image > Filter > Video > De-Interlace.
3
Click Odd fields or Even fields to select bands to eliminate.
4
Choose a replacement method for the eliminated pixels:
Click Duplication to fill the area by inserting a copy of an
adjacent band.
Click Interpolation to fill the area by inserting intermediate
color values based on the color values of neighboring pix-
els. This option creates a smoother, more accurate fill than
Duplication.
