Requires: limitedsharpenfaster, removegrain, removegrain HD, masktools 2, dctlimit. [edit] forgot to list frfun7.

This is here (development as opposed to usage) because, its slow, it causes artifacts sometimes, and because I am lazy and don't want to spend all of my time explaining how to make it work.

example script:

#source
ungibbs().ungibbs()
spline36resize(1280, 720)

Note that it will probably produce very ugly results if used on a source that is not, atleast, a little blurry.

example: processed, unprocessed
