Quick method
- Choose the original-size file you have. Avoid screenshots when the full photo or clip is available; extra compression makes noise harder to separate from the filter.
- Let the automatic pass finish. It samples visible pixels for green and yellow dominance, then chooses a moderate correction.
- Drag the before-and-after divider. Look at neutral surfaces, faces, clouds, and deep shadows. These show an over-correction first.
- Adjust Green Neutralize. Raise it if whites still look green. Lower it if skin or warm objects become magenta.
- Balance noise and detail. Add noise reduction until colored grain settles, then use detail recovery sparingly.
- Download and inspect at 100%. A convincing preview can still reveal halos or compression at full size.
Why a perfect “original” is usually impossible
A filter may clip highlights, crush shadows, blend grain into edges, or discard color differences. Once multiple source colors become the same output color, there is no reliable way to know which original value was there. The remover therefore makes a visually useful estimate from the pixels that remain.
Safety boundary
Color cleanup cannot reveal anything that is censored, painted over, cropped out, or absent. Do not describe an edited result as recovered evidence.
