[Ghost Reduction]

Reduce picture ghosts.

When one uses a film captured from an analog source, such as a television, one will want to use this to reduce the picture ghosting.

Masks are applied to the film in order to remove the ghosting. Few, well-configured masks are more efficient than many masks.

How to

Ghost reduction can be adjusted by "Edge", "Blightness", and "Vertical ghost". "Edge" can be used for ghost around outline of objects. "blightness"can be used for doubled pictures. "Vertical ghost" can be applied to vertical line ghost.

Method	Detail
Edge	This can be used for outline shape ghost by adjusting 3 parameters, "Position", "Strength" and "Blur". "Position" adjusts delay of reflected wave, "Strength" adjusts strengeth of reflected wave, "Blur" adjusts diffusion of electric wave. By "Auto-setting" button, ghost can be automatically detected, and these parameters can be automatically adjusted. however, this is not most accurate for human eyes, it is recommended to adjust manually for better results. "Default" button resets those 3 parameters to default.
