The Đuro Salaj and Filip Filipović image had some heavy moiré patterns, so I went ahead and cleaned it and the cropped images up as well. —Quibik (talk) 12:47, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Quibik. I hope the new year finds you well. Great work as always. I'd love to see exactly how you do these. Next time you do one would you mind uploading the FFT version of the image after editing but before reversing the filter so that I can see the size of the brush you use and what have you? (Then just overwrite it with the finished file.) nagualdesign 16:38, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi nagualdesign. Happy new year to you, too! Straight up editing the FFT-transformed image does not give good results in images like this one, where the wavelength of the moire is quite large and the moire patterns are mixed into the image's details. You have to extract the relevant part of the spectrum as much as possible first. A basic approach is to apply a high-pass filter to the image (for example, apply Gaussian blur to a duplicate layer, then grain-extract it from the original). I used to do that for a long time but only quite recently I discovered that bilateral filtering instead of a Gaussian blur for the high-pass filtering gives some amazingly good results (check out this and this, for example). I'm surprised every single time at how well it works, really. The key difference is that unlike the Gaussian blur, the bilateral filter does a good job of preserving edges in the image. This is great since sharp edges map to a wide range of frequencies in the image spectrum and are always strongly affected by any FFT filtering, so we want to avoid them as much as possible.
This is much easier to understand visually, so I took screencaps of the process I typically use. The typical steps are (1) crop unnecessary borders that needlessly distort the spectrum image; (2) Do a first pass at FFT filtering to remove high-frequency noise that does not affect the image details; (3) grain extract bilateral-filtered image from the main one; (4) do FFT filtering on that and grain merge it back; (5) if necessary (not in this case), do bilateral filtering on this cleaner image and repeat steps 3–4; (6) do some final FFT filtering on the grain-merged cleaner image; (7) if necessary (again, not in this case), add alpha channels to layers and erase parts of the cleaned-up image that were better in the original or intermediate versions; (8) flatten and save. —Quibik (talk) 00:13, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Those examples really are amazingly good! (And the waifu2x algorithm is pretty amazing too!) I can't thank you enough. That really was a masterclass in FFT filtering. I get what you are saying completely, and although the screencaps are a little confusing at the moment, it's great to see the actual steps involved. I might just copy/paste this onto my talk page for future reference. Thanks again! Kind regards, nagualdesign 03:51, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Thanks @PawełMM:! Three requests, if possible. First, could you add back a slight border to the helmet crest image? I had 50 extra pixels on each side before, which helps prevent it from directly abutting the border in the thumbnail (as it does currently: Sutton_Hoo_helmet#Beowulf). Second, some of the transparency crept into the image itself (notably on the face/eyebrows piece), where it should actually be white. Finally, for some reason the other image (helmet fragments) isn't showing up as a thumbnail. The file name is "Sutton Hoo helmet - design 3 fragments.png" and you can see it in use here: Sutton_Hoo_helmet#Design_3:_unidentified_figural_scene. Could you please replace the current gunky background with one of pure white? Thanks again for your help! --Usernameunique (talk) 12:26, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
