Tools for removing text from images #325

Open Trilarion opened 2 years ago

Trilarion commented 2 years ago

Related to #324 is the search for a tool that can remove printed text from rendered images. I'm not sure yet how much of a problem that is but so far I encountered it once (but ignored it).

Artwork of an open source game is presented as rendered bitmap with a background and rendered text on top. The background can probably upscaled but the text should simply be removed and printed later on the upscaled background image or simply as a vector overlay. A tool for removing such text from rendered images would be nice, preferably as Python script but any software would be fine. Photoshop etc. have such functions built-in.

What is there? How well does it work? And where would it be needed?

As long as there aren't strong cases that would profit from that, this is rather low priority though.
