Help removing texture

[CPorter]

First, I wanted to say hello. This is my first time posting.

I've got this image and I want to get rid of the pixelated texture it has. I tried using the blur brush, but it didn't work very well. Any advice is much appreciated!

FFT filter & a noise reduction technique of your choice.

Thanks so much. I was just reading about FFT filters yesterday.

So, I applied the FFT filter and it worked well, but it changed my image to black and white. Any ideas on how I can prevent that?
