Wow! What a difference! Super job on this one, which I won't even download.

Very good catch on the mirrored image. You did great getting the lines out as well. Just seems a bit faded in the bottom of the photo but overall an excellent job.

Mogens,
I use PaintShopPro - could you explain the fft in GIMP? Is GIMP a stand alone graphics program?
Excellent results, by the way! I have a few photos with the same problem so I am most interested in a little more detail on GIMP.

In step 2 a subsection of the photo containing the moire pattern was copied to a new grayscale image. A fft (fast fourier transform) plugin in GIMP was used to remove the interference pattern. This was done by removing the spikes in the spectrum resonsible for the pattern. Then a reverse fft was performed and an almost clean image was produced. This subsection was pasted as a new layer on top of the new original. The layers was aligned and flattened.

Nice job, Mogens.
Do any of you folks know if there's a comparable method for moire pattern reduction in PS?

Hi all,
Thanks for your nice remarks about the restoration attempt of "Grandpa Benny". As DJ remarked there is still some work to be done on shadows under the car and some areas around the bumper and his trousers. Tom Willis and Flora did both overall nice jobs as well with the shadows.
Among several links I found a tutorial concerning removal of moire patterns from book and newspaper prints:
http://www.reindeergraphics.com/tuto...fourier13.html
I made a search for "fft fast fourier transforms" and there seem to be plugins for PS as well, but I have not used them.
The GIMP is standalone software and is ported to the Windows platform as well, but I am uncertain if the Gfourier plug-in is ported, but I will look into that.

My software, PhotoImpact, has a "Remove Moire" comand but it had no effect - scale is wrong I think. Did it manually but wouldn't want to do it every day. Congratulations on finding a the right tool for this tedious job.
Your approach regarding various levels of blurring for the different "layers" of the photo is interesting and time-saving. Some adjustments to the tonal ranges would help give the photo more presence I think.

Very good job. Excellent procedure for removing the lines. Some mottling of tones, but far less than expected.
I'm in conversation with Chris Russ (Reindeer Graphics) about a product that might bring a friendlier face to some of his excellent but complex filters (hopefully including fft).
In the meantime, a Google search for "photoshop fft" comes up with some very interesting pages.

I have looked around for image manipulation programs ported to several platforms and found another interesting program: ImageJ.
The source code is freely available. The fft plug-ins are worth having a look at. The public domain program ImageJ is found at:

I think the image is very good I'll be using it as a comparison for my own attempt, I have the windows port of 'The Gimp' [stopped using my linux o/s], it hasn't the FFT plug-in
