To remove hatching or cross-hatch marks from an engraving or artwork.
From the prefix de- (to remove) combined with hache (a hatching or shading technique in engraving), derived from French hacher (to chop), used in art restoration and printmaking.
In old engravings and etchings, artists created depth and shadow using thousands of tiny crossed lines—dehaching can either restore a piece or completely change its appearance!
