Artifacting Remedy

**bookloveraz** · 03-10-2012, 05:33 PM

First off, I'm not sure if this is in the right spot or not, so I apologize if it isn't!

I'm pretty sure the asnwer to this question is no, but I'm asking anyways. Is there a remedy to jpg artifacting? Anything to fix it?

You could try Topaz DeJpeg Topaz DeJEPG - Eliminate JPEG Compression Artifacts or AKVIS Noise Buster Noise reduction on digital photos with AKVIS Noise Buster

Both claim to be able to do what you want.

Okay, I'll check them out. But any remedy is going to have to be done in PP? There's not a fix for the camera itself?

As far as I know, you'll have to do it in PP. How bad are the artifacts though? I only shoot Raw, so I don't see that problem, but a lot of Jpeg artifacts come in to play from resizing or heavy processing. Mind posting a photo as an example so we can see how bad it is?

Here is a shot that I took the other day -- part of it is noise, but since the ISO was at 200, I'm thinking most of it can't be noise... When you zoom in, it doesn't really have the look of noise anyways...

Woah, that's some serious artifacting "yes auto correct, I know that's not a real word". PP isn't going to fix that. I really hope somebody else jumps in that knows what might be causing that.

Has this been enlarged at all? How much?

It almost looks as if it has been run through some filter.

that is neither noise, nor jpg artifacting. There is nothing that is going to repair that.

If what you see in that picture is typical of the images your getting straight out of the camera, then I'd have to say that your camera is broken.

Looking at your Flickr stream, it seems there isn't a problem with the camera, since the later shots are fine. Looking at the EXIF I'd guess you went too far with the deliberate underexposure at -2EV, and this was the best the jpeg engine could do.

Nope: it's just an S1IS. It's an old "superzoom" DSLR-looking compact.

Im wondering if this isn't a >100% crop.
