How do I…
How do I remove moiré or halftone dots from a scan?
Use Scan Clean, which filters out a regular texture such as a halftone screen or scanned weave and costs no credits. Pick Subtle, Standard or Deep Clean for how much texture to take out.
How do I clean a photo of real fabric?
Use AI Clean. It rebuilds the design under the texture, so it handles photos of cloth and heavy weaves such as denim and canvas better than Scan Clean.

Subtle for scanned art and faint paper grain, Standard for typical woven or knit swatches, and Deep Clean for denim, terry and canvas.

Real-World Examples
Scanned Magazine Pattern
A vintage magazine floral pattern with visible halftone dots was cleaned to produce solid color areas and smooth gradients, eliminating all print dot patterns.
Fabric Weave Removal
A photograph of a finished saree captured weave texture along with the printed pattern. Processing eliminated the warp-weft texture, leaving only the pure design.
Paper Texture from Art Print
A watercolor design printed on textured cold-press paper was scanned. Light processing removed the paper grain while preserving the artwork detail.
