Lots and Lots of Cracks

[Djanvk]

I've done a search on this and found a couple of different ideas but what is the main census on removing little cracks all over a photo? Is just the clone tool and many hours staring at the screen the best way or are there other that work without to much blurring?

Thanks

Ctein's crack masking (in Digital Restoration from Start to Finish) works well on some photos but not all. You might not find any real consensus on what works best because it depends so much on the individual photo.

I'll check into that, thanks for the reply
