Hi, I'm digitizing video images using a frame grabber then importing them to my DPaintIV AGA program to modify them. The images are mostly hand drawn cartoons in black on white. The digitizing process renders very smooth drawings with little "jaggies." However, due to the non-uniform lighting (and video cameras that are just too blasted light sensitive <g>) my pictures end up with a lot of dots as artifacts. I can get rid of a lot of them by adjusting the dynamic range, contrast, and number of colors (down to 4) with AdPro, but there are still too many to be acceptable. Looking at them closely, most are single pixels. I think if I could eliminate all the single pixel dots, the remaining one's would be few enough for me to live with. The Disney Animation Studio program has a function which cleans up all stray pixels, however, it only works in 2 color images, and the selection of screen modes is few. Now here's the question: does anybody know of a program, paint program, or technique that will delete or "clean up" all the stray (single) pixels? Thank you in advance for any advice or tips. Bruce
