Finally the old bridge at Division and Halsted is being replaced. I worked on the contractual time-lapse videos. We took files from 3 Brinno cameras and edited together frames for 3 days, removing night frames and creating final video files for the client.
Film is not dead. Not yet. I still do some film scans. Nothing like 4x5.
Fast Fourier Transform filtering for pattern removal. Some old photo prints have various regular patterns visble in the print. This is a texture that is embossed into the stock the image is printed on.
This is a problem that often comes when restoring old photos. The method used to remove the pattern is a frequency domain filter. In this case I used a Fast Fourier Transform plug-in for Photoshop. The one I use is only available for PC, the 2008 version by Alex Chirokov.
This is a funky old photo that needed restoration. Couldn't even start without getting rid of the embossed pattern.
