How to remove the texture of the picture?
A: (1) Scan a picture of a pictorial or magazine.
In general, the generation of the texture is caused by the rough texture of the pictorial or magazine printing paper. The value of dpi should be set higher during scanning. The higher the resolution, the larger the scanned image and the higher the relative fineness. A higher resolution will create good conditions for the next image reduction and filter processing.
(2) Adjust the picture to the appropriate size.
Select the Image size option under the Image menu. The Image size dialog box pops up, and the Constrain Proportions limit ratio option under it is checked. In the Pixel Dimensions pixel size, the Pixels pixel after the Width is changed to the Percent percentage. At this point the Width value becomes 100, then you can enter the desired percentage value to reduce the image ratio. The reduced mesh pattern has been slightly weakened.
(3) Eliminate the texture with Gaussian blur.
Select Show channels in the Window menu, and the channel panel appears. The four channels are RGB, Red, Green, and Blue. Select the Red channel and the picture will appear in black and white. Select Blur→Gaussian Blur from the Filter menu to bring up the Gaussian Blur dialog box. Adjust the Radius value, control the range of the blur, so that the texture in the Red channel is almost invisible, and the image content is slightly blurred. Then adjust the Green and Blue channels separately in this way so that the texture in the channel disappears. Finally, back to the RGB channel, the picture at this time has no interference from the texture. (Note: The value of Radius can't be set too large, so as not to cause too much influence on the RGB channel to make the picture change.
(4) Adjust the final effect.
If the texture is too sharp to cause the Radius value to be set large, the picture in the RGB channel will be somewhat blurred. If you want to make the content of the picture clear, you can also perform the shapen->shapen clear effect in the Filter menu. Finally, use the Adjust->Levels or Curves option in the Image menu to set the desired contrast value to achieve the final satisfactory result.

How to set up hardware and speed up PS?

1. Make full use of memory
Any kind of image processing software has high memory requirements, as does Photoshop. If you are using Photoshop and don't use some other big software, then you can increase the proportion of Photoshop's memory resources. The method is: Photoshop, select the File\Preference\Memory & Image Cache command under the menu, and increase the ratio of Used by Photoshop to 80%~90%.
Specify virtual memory
When dealing with Photoshop, it is normal to run out of memory. It will greatly affect the time when Photoshop processes images. How can it be solved? The method is: you can use the hard disk as memory, which is often referred to as virtual memory. Please select the "File\Preference\Plug-Ins & Scratch Disks" command under the menu. Under Scratch Disks, you can specify four drives on the hard drive as virtual memory. The default virtual memory of the software is under Windows\temp. When the first virtual memory is used, Photoshop automatically uses the second Scratch Dsik, which speeds up execution.
Free up memory and hard disk space
When you do image processing, everything you do will be recorded in Photoshop's History worksheet. These operations include copying to Clipboard, Undo, Pattern, and History, and selecting the “Edit\Purge” command under the menu.
After doing this, Photoshop will save the images and data in memory. After using this command, the occupied memory space will be released (RAM: "Oh! Freeden"), which will make Photoshop have more resources ( Resources) are available, which naturally increases efficiency. But note that if these operations take up less memory, there is no need to use them!
In addition, when dealing with large images, Photoshop will automatically generate some temporary files, which are generally very large. If you are dealing with a 20MB poster, the temporary file may be 100~150MB. Please delete the generated Photoshop temporary file *.tmp in Windows\temp or in the drive where you set the virtual memory.
