Remove rainbow ring patterns from a scanned print
A glossy print or a film strip pressed on scanner glass can produce curved rainbow bands that look like oil on water. Send the scan and the bot calms the pattern and restores the tones of the picture.

Make it in TelegramWhat causes the rings
Newton rings appear when two smooth surfaces nearly touch and light interferes in the thin gap between them. Glossy paper on glass is a classic case. Because the pattern is a mix of color and brightness waves, the bot treats it as a smooth overlay and removes it while leaving real picture details like grain, hair and fabric alone. Strong patterns may leave faint traces.
Prevent them next time
A tiny gap between print and glass breaks the pattern. Some scanners come with a mask or holder that raises film slightly. Others work better with the print scanned dry and flat on a matte sheet. If the same pattern appears in several scans, compare the angle and position of the print. A second scan with a small change often gives a cleaner base for the bot to work on.
Tips
- Mention that the pattern came from the scanner.
- Try a second scan with the print lifted slightly.
- Use a clean sheet of thin anti-glare film if you have one.
- Keep the scan at a high resolution before sending.
Questions and answers
Is it a flaw of the photo or the scan?
It is a scan effect. The original print is fine.
Can I photograph the print instead?
Yes. A photo in daylight avoids glass and the rings.
What does it cost?
2 credits per image. New users get 15 free credits, so 7 images cost nothing. After that packs start at 129 Telegram Stars, about $2.6 and credits do not expire.
Does the bot work in English?
Yes. It picks up your Telegram language on first launch. You can switch it any time with /lang.
What the bot does not do
- Does not print photos and does not retouch passport or ID photos.
- Does not promise a fixed pixel size. Check the result at full size before printing.
- Heavily damaged faces are reconstructed by AI and may not look like the person. Compare with another photo.
- Does not make video or animate the photo.
