Reduction Noise (Remove Screentone)

www.openimagedenoise.org
imagemagick.org
www.gimp.org

Sugarbt - Ai ga Nakutemo Ecchi wa Dekiru_ScreenTonevsDenoise.jpg

Yoi no Hana - ScreenTones.jpg


Steps:
1.- Convert your image to pfm (Use Gimp)
2.- Run Command oidnDenoise.exe with option --filter RTLightmap
3.- Convert pfm to image (Use Gimp webp, jpg, png)


Tips.
Very large images can cause the filter is not working properly, and very small images can remove a lot of detail.
Between 1000 and 1400 in width work well

Example imagemagick, (try magick or convert.exe)

Bash:
Imagemagick\convert.exe myimageScreenTone.jpg -strip -colorspace sRGB -type truecolor -endian LSB "myimageScreenTone.pfm"

denoise\oidn\oidnDenoise.exe -ldr "myimageScreenTone.pfm" --filter RTLightmap -o "myimageRemoveScreenTone.pfm"

Imagemagick\convert.exe "myimageRemoveScreenTone.pfm" -depth 8 -quality 100% "myimageRemoveScreenTone.webp"
