Introducing <b><a href="http://www.tcnj.edu/~tomwol2/scripts/LU ... bow</a></b>, a new AVISynth derainbower function:
ARE YOU sick and tired of NASTY shimmering rainbows MUCKING UP your otherwise good DVD footage?
Are other smoothers just NOT cutting it -- or making your script WAY too slow -- or causing UGLY artifacts like chroma bleeding and ghosting?
Then YOU NEED <b><a href="http://www.tcnj.edu/~tomwol2/scripts/LU ... bow</a></b>!
It's a purely temporal derainbower that uses the power of LOOK-UP TABLES to analyze each chroma pixel's behaviour over time, then WHACK it into line if it's shimmering like a rainbow -- and it's <i>reasonably fast</i>, too!
And on top of that, since LUTDeRainbow doesn't have a spatial component, you never have to worry about chroma bleeding across edges! Wow!
Just LOOK what the power of the LUT was able to do for Chiyo-chan and her friends:
The left half of each image shows the U (blue offset) channel BEFORE processing -- see all that UGLY noise in the form of alternating horizontal lines? That's the rainbows at work. Yuck!
Now take a look at the right side, which is what the image looks like after having been processed with <b>LUTDeRainbow(cthresh=10,ythresh=20)</b> -- the crosstalk is GONE! A-MA-zing!
With LUTDeRainbow, Chiyo and Mr. Tadakichi were able to go from <a href="http://s93771304.onlinehome.us/compare/ ... g">this</a> to this:
Just look at that satisfied smile!
And now YOU TOO can get the power of the LUT... for the very low price of <b>€0</b>! Just follow these simple instructions:
1. Make sure you have the Repair (part of the <a href="http://www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises ... emoveGrain package</a>) and <a href="http://www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises ... skTools</a> plugins in your AVISynth 2.5 plugins directory.
2. Save <a href="http://www.tcnj.edu/~tomwol2/scripts/LU ... .avsi">the LUTDeRainbow script</a> to your AVISynth 2.5 plugins directory. (Don't change the extension from AVSI.)
3. Use like any other AVISynth function, following the syntax guidelines included in the AVSI file. It's EASY!
Just think, YOU could be getting results like these:
(Processed with <b>LUTdeRainbow(cthresh=10,ythresh=15)</b>)
BUT WAIT! There's MORE!
If you order NOW, you can also get <a href="http://www.amvwiki.org/index.php/DFMDeR ... Rainbow</a>, a more spatially-minded derainbower that also uses masks to target ONLY the rainbows, at NO EXTRA COST! It's TWO derainbowers for the price of ONE!
So don't wait! Get YOUR copy of <a href="http://www.tcnj.edu/~tomwol2/scripts/LU ... Rainbow</a> today!
Disclaimers: Don't send check or money order anywhere, except maybe to Phade. Your results may vary. This function is meant specifically for shimmering rainbows. Not effective on stationary rainbows. Not effective on scene changes. Not effective on edges with significant motion (non-moving edges in the same image will still be good though). Not recommended for scenes with high motion, because it may cause artifacting. Please, no C.O.D.'s. This product is offered without warranty. Please place BEFORE any IVTC operations. The contents of the required plugins are the sole responsibility of the plugins' creators. This function does not contain iodide, a necessary nutrient.
