Re: Fixing a strange texture on this old photo

Gave it a run..
Ran a level on each channel bring out the colors and kill the red caste.
Duplicated the layer...then applied the Dust + Scratches filter.
Used 4 Radius / 11 Thresholds.
Then ran a slight Curve to brighten it.
(I like the way it kept the real film look) It would probably be cleaner had I finished on a noise removing software but I like it as is.

Lasa

The link doesn't go to a page, it is the actual ZIP file. Click the link below and the deCrack.zip file should download to your desktop.

Re: Fixing a strange texture on this old photo

Swampy, I must be dense or something but even the ZIP-link is taking me another page. (see attached page)
maybe I have some anti-zip-somthing on my PC interfering..?

Re: Fixing a strange texture on this old photo

Lasa, I sent you a PM with a link to download it from my public folder on .mac. I have no idea why you can't get to it, but you should be able to get it from my site.

Sorry... the link to my URL is in the second PM... I'm a real ditz today! :-)

Re: Fixing a strange texture on this old photo

Hi Budkin.
Welcome to Retouch Pro

Here is another method

Layer Shifting

Create four copies on layers above the original and set them all to darken mode
Shift one layer one pixel up
Shift one layer one pixel down
Shift one layer one pixel left
Shift one layer one pixel right

It’s still not perfect but it’s a good start and will reduce the amount of noise reduction required.

Hope this helps.

Ken.

Re: Fixing a strange texture on this old photo

Photoshop->Presets->Photoshop Actions. Open Photoshop's Actions palette and from its flyout menu -> Load Actions.

Re: Fixing a strange texture on this old photo

Used Camerakens method which, to me, was really unique and worked nicely. I then adjusted each level. Used color balance followed by smudge and blur. Finally finished with Hi pass filter.

And another way. Copying the layer and using dark blending mode

Well I copied the layer and set the copied layer to darken. Next I selected the move tool and moved the top layer a few clicks up and to the right with the arrow key.

Sometimes this method works great.

Re: Fixing a strange texture on this old photo

Thanks so much everyone! I'm really blown away with how many methods there are, and especially with the end results. I've got a lot to learn but all of this feedback will most surely get me started on the right foot!
