The plug-in for image processing program Adobe Photoshop CS2. Other versions of Photoshop are not checked.

The filter filling in picked out damaged area using only space data. This filter is intended to repairing image (removing scratches, spots and etc), removing undesirable “objects”.

History of versions:

• 1.5 - add two image restoration algorithms, speed up filter and reduce number of parameters
• 0.9b - first beta version

Settings

Algorithm - used algorithm

Block radius - block radius for compare.
Choose this radius equal to typical element of damaged area.
Plug-in works longer with the greater block radius.
1 <= Block radius <= 10

Search radius - radius of similar block search area.
Choose this radius equal to area radius similar to the damaged area.
Plug-in works longer with the greater search radius.
Block radius + 2 <= Search radius <= 30
For Fast algorithm:
Block radius + Bondary zone radius + 2 <= Search radius <= 30
Bondary zone radius = (2 * Block radius + 1) / 6
