3. To define the region to despeckle, do one of the following:
   • Press Enter to despeckle the entire image(s).
   • In the drawing, define a rectangular sub-region.
   • Enter c to use an existing image clip.
   • Enter p, then enter several points to define a polygonal sub-region.
   • Enter e, then click an existing closed vector entity to define the region.

   The following prompt appears:

   Pick a speckle to set size or [Window/size in piXels/size in Units] <Window>:

4. To define the maximum size of speckle to delete, do one of the following:
   • In the drawing, click a speckle.
   • Enter w and then draw a window that defines the maximum speckle size.
   • Enter x and then enter a numeric speckle size in AutoCAD units.
   • Enter u and then enter a numeric speckle size in pixels.
   Tip: When determining the best size to use, note that a size too large can remove parts of text, such as periods or dots.

   The speckles to be deleted are highlighted, and the following prompt appears:

   Press enter to proceed, pick a speckle to deselect or specify deselection option [Window/Polygon/Respecify size]:

   • Click any speckles that you want to keep.
   • Enter w and then draw a window around any group or groups of speckles that you want to keep.
   • Enter p and then draw a polygon around a group of speckles that you want to keep.
   • Enter r and then repeat step 4 to respecify the speckle size and see a different set of speckles highlighted for deletion.
