Enhance a scanned document

Scans come in grey: show-through from the reverse side, dust speckles, muddy shadows where the page curved. Contrast stretching, a median filter and a white-point clamp pull the paper back to white and the ink to crisp black.

Frequently asked questions

Will it remove show-through?
Mostly — the white-point clamp pushes light grey bleed to paper white. Very dark show-through needs a higher strength.
Coloured stamps or photos?
Colour is preserved; only levels are stretched. Heavily coloured pages may shift slightly.
