Use the patch tool.

You want to extract the script hiding under the image? Your first step would be to re-scan it high resolution and 16 bpc) and NOT save it as JPG (you could use TIF). The lossy compression is really messing up the image. Also, don't do any adjustments to the image.

That being said it is highly unlikely that we can extract the script that has been painted over - for that you would need access to some more fancy image capture device that works on a different spectrum than visible light (if different inks were used the top one might become transparent at a wavelength that keeps the one below opaque). The only way I can think off, but it's a bit outside my field and such equipment is hard to come by I guess.

@ Cupcake

i am absolut beginner with photoshop, so could you tell me how it works ? Please

@chain

unfortunately i don´t have TIF data. i ´ve just found it on the internet

so you think that is impossible to do this ?

cheers

Yes, the covered-up script is simply not in this image file - so can't be done unless you are really good at guessing :P

Oh, and the patch tool is like the healing brush, and would be used to cover up things - not to reveal them.

use the color deconvolution plug-in

I tried the demo-version a bit (the demo was bloody useless - wouldn't let me sample directly on the image, i had to sample, copy the numbers, then open plugin. Maybe just a CS4 issue with it?). Anyway, I did try a little, but no more luck really... The image quality has been badly raped by JPG and the strong red lines totally cover up what's underneath them.

You can use the patch tool to move things also.

I could not see anything under the red box

Are those Nuns burning in Hell on the left side page?

That would be a misleading use of the word "move". That's like saying that copy+paste in new location+blend with surroundings = move.

There are three related tools here (all intended to clone/heal/blend/cover up/whatever). None related to what is being asked in this thread :P

First we have the clone tool, that takes a perfect copy of what you sample and paints it in somewhere else (usually using a soft brush to "blend" naturally with the image).

Then we have the healing brush, it does the exact same thing as clone tool, but once you release the mouse button it adjusts the color and brightness to blend smoothly with the surrounding (it's a bit like you're just copying the texture, nothing else). A hard brush is preferred to avoid "bleeding" from surrounding details.

Then there is the patch tool that works identically to the healing brush, but instead of a brush you use a selection (and you don't have to use the patch tool to make the selection).

Yes, unfortunately it is. We can try again if you ever get a better scan.
