But like, what were you even trying to fix on the outside in the first place? Was it scratched up or something?

Save files with a white background instead.

Always funny when the obvious fix gets overlooked for so long.

But honestly, how much does it really matter if the graffiti loses a bit of grit when you scan it? Like @paigem45 says, the rust patterns are insane, but once it's on a screen, it's just pixels. I tried scanning some street art from a brick wall, and the texture just turned into a blurry mess in Photoshop. It's not like the original piece is going anywhere. People can still see the real thing. Plus, now you have a clean version to use as a desktop background without worrying about trespassing charges.

Man, I read an article once about how shows like Firefly built such a loyal fan base AFTER they got axed. Totally applies here. The OA's ending was a huge cliffhanger, and another season could have tied it all together so well. Piper_carr has a great point about writing down loose ends, I should do that. My personal rewatch pain is "The Society" on Netflix, that cancellation hurt. The mystery was just getting good and they left everyone hanging.
