Image Optimizer And Half-Tones

I do not see any option to get the SCF optimizer to mess up half-tones. They are find in the original scan.

Modification since my comment was poorly worded.

The SCF optimizer does not seem to have an option to handle image half tones better.

I'd answer you but I have no idea what you're talking about and I process images almost every single day.

Here is a better explanation. I have scanned some USPS souvenir pages and some have half-tones for some images.

Before running through optimizer


After running through optimizer. I believe this is called a moiré effect


In some applications like scanner software have an option called descreen) to correct when scannin.

I had used Microsoft software included with Windows but found the SCF optimizer produced better images for same resulting file size during the resize process EXCEPT the moiré effect. It is easier than launch yet another program when the browser optimizer is easy to use and convenient.

Angore, I do see the moire effect before you put it through the optimizer?

I have had the same thing happen to me awhile back.
