- Time to clean up scans or photos of paper with ink or text. This will be part 1 as I will be posting slighty different method in a different video.
Using a couple of adjustments combined with blend ranges and different blend modes it is fairly easy to clean up a scanned photo of a document or written text. To finish up we will apply a non destructive erase white paper function to make a nice clean background.
If you are interested about the used procedural function applied for the erase white paper layer, check out the great video by inAffinity. He does a much better job then me, explaining how it works.

Thanks very much for this excellent tutorial. Played around with procedural texture and came up with what appears to be simpler:
Duplicate background and put a white fill layer between them.
Create an Erase White Background Procedural Texture layer with Overlay blend mode and check Preserve Alpha..
Then create a second Erase White Background Procedural texture layer with Hard Mix blend mode and Preserve Alpha.
Finally, use a white paint bush on the second background layer to eliminate remaining dark areas from perimeter.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I was not able to follow you exactly (especially with the preserve alpha you were referring to), however i was able to recreate the overlay and hardmix method i think :) Excellent tip!! I would personally use the linear light as instead of the hard mix as this would give smoother results... I was planning to do a follow up on this video and will demonstrate your tip too... Thank you very much for sharing!
This tutorial was very relevant to my interests ! I would love to see a couple of videos from you, editing bad quality images. Like the ones you do with an old phonecam or a webcam. I dont have a multi lense A.I.-supported smartphone and the pictures i take often look bad, so naturally i would like to learn how to improve them. Perhaps even with the Development Persona.
Thanks.. i'll see if i can find some old photos from my archive which i can use for this idea.
Very useful great explanation
Glad you liked it! Thank you
Aplausos!
Wait, you are a graphics wizard AND fountain pen aficionado? I demand more fountain pen topics then! ;)
Hahha... i'll try to use the pens more in the tutorials.. maybe a new pen channel :)
Such a useful thing, except I sadly didn't get the same results...I followed the steps but after putting in the formula, there was no change i.e the procedural texture filter didn't remove the white background. Do you know why this could be?
Does it make a difference if you're starting with a jpeg image taken from a phone as opposed to a scan?
It might be that your document is not in rgb/8 color format?
Thank you for your reply. It may have been. I'll need to check. Does that mean this only works for rgb/8?
