Hey guys- I'm working on a restoration project for a customer. The client got the print made at CVS, the color is horrible, and of course it was digital and they no longer have the original file.
I'm fine so far on most everything, except the finish on the image. It's a Kodak matte finish that shows up in the scan as small grid lines. I know this can be touched out, because our lab out in Utah does it. I'm just not sure of the technique used. Any ideas?

| Can you show an example pic or something? |

If it actually shows as a regular, rectilinear grid you can make an overlay layer of light or dark grid, as needed, and fade it in. It's really a picky process though.

If it is a regular pattern, Neat Image should be able to deal with it if it has a clean area without details to work with.

While looking at the effects of high ISO in the Exposure mentor group,
DQ had us looking at the different tools available to reduce noise. I have never liked the results I get with NI and other dedicated noise removal software so I looked elsewhere. This resulted in a technique that removes much of the pickiness of what you are suggesting.
Clara, I am still in process of writing it up, but here is a rough draft to look over, 'Profiled Noise Reduction'. If you try it, any feedback would be appreciated.

Wow! That's really good work, David. Looking forward to a dedicated post on this when you have the methodology perfected....make sure you put in before and after shots AND come up with a catchy name.... e.g. HUSHpuppy, silencio, deMOTE!
....is this process possible to 'action' or is there too much manual input required?....thinking of your IP and its protection/exploitation you see ;) |

Thanks, did you try it? How did it work for you?
I don't know that I will 'perfect' it, I've gone beyond what I knew about photoshop just getting it working.
I don't know much about making actions, but have been looking into it with this in mind. There are three areas of user input required, with the mask being the roughest -- so that doesn't sound like too much. But I'm still learning about actions.
