Options for the shape noise cancellation on random positions. The left panel is shown for reference. The middle panel shows the shape noise cancellation with constant positions but rotated galaxies. The right panel implements the cancellation by rotating the whole scene before shearing by 90 degrees. The zoomed frames show the same pair of close-by galaxies in each version. The figure illustrates the benefit of the global cancellation, which keeps the galaxies distinct, while the local cancellation creates a blend.
