Batch fix image artefacts - kablonz - 04-11-2023
Hi forum!
I have a set of pictures (a few hundred) of a wild life camera where I got some artefacts when the sun was too strong. Is there any way I can batch process my pictures and get rid of those artefacts?
Attached some samples of how the artefacts look
Thanks for your help in advance!

If they are all the same, I mean the magenta stands out of the black & white or there are no 100% magenta on your hundreds of pictures even coloured pictures, I would open all the pictures as layer and use G'MIC if you don't have G'MIC on your GIMP, it's there https://gmic.eu .
You might need a script to export each layer as image (to do first) when it's finished > like the ofn-export-layers there > https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-tools/files/scripts/
Once you have all the plugins needed installed, let's start:
Open all your images as layers in GIMP.
Pick the html magenta color with the color picker
and copy the HTML codeThen Open G'MIC by going to the top menu Filters > G'MIC_Qt, a window opens go to Repair > Inpaint [Patched-based], as Input Layer select All, click on the mask colour, paste the magenta html colour you have copied, then click OK.
Then go take a coffee or a tea, maybe some muffins and go for a walk outside, or go to the restaurant and have a lunch because for 100s of pictures it will take a while.

Important: No need to say that you need to do a try first on one picture, then fine tune it, until you get the perfect removal/replacement, in G'MIC there is a link to a tutorial from Pat David, it a good idea to click on it.
Then once it's finished, use the script installed previously to export layers as images File > Export all layers.

How much does that blemish wander around ? If it is not too much, then again using the gmic plugin http://www.gmic.eu and BIMP a batch plugin https://alessandrofrancesconi.it/projects/bimp/
The gmic Inpaint (Multi-scale) filter using default values (pure red mask) has a command string as:
Code:
fx_inpaint_matchpatch 0,9,10,5,1,255,0,0,255,0,0You can copy from gmic to clipboard, look for two icons top of the gmic window, copy and reset.
For some reason (probably me) I could not get a one-time run with BIMP, so two passes required.
1. Applying a mask to each image
2. Using Gmic Inpaint to remove the blemish.
