    Haze in old photo

    Is there a good way to get rid of the white haze in this photo?

    The 'white' haze is really blue.

      Thanks so much for the tip. I'll continue working with those settings but I haven't gotten it to make much of a difference, yet.

          I have been looking at this photo and trying to come up with a solution. The haze is not a bluish tint. If it was, I could have used the hue/sat and zap it out, but no luck.. will check some more ok

            The haze is not easy to rid and doing a channel walk or using the channel mixer did not result in anything better... I took a different approach and try to darken or less the sight of the haze with hdr toning in image>adjustment>hdr toning and than used curves and a blur

              Yeah, messing with the channels never did anything for me. Thanks so much for your work on this! I'll play around with the hdr toning and hopefully get that to work.

                Seems like this topic reappears every so often. The defect is called silvering. Take a look at this:

                If you enter silvering into the search you will have many hours of reading to do!

                Good Luck

                  I have an old photo of my mother and some of her friends standing in front of an old car which I have just found out is a Jowett Javelin. The photo was in very poor condition and I've basically had to piece it back together again. The problem I have is that I need to blend the parts together to make...

                  This is an old photo of my grate grandparents taken in 1912. As you can see there is a stain over the grater part of the photo. It becomes more visible when I started to color it. I can't seem to get rid of the stain could any one help me and maybe show me what I'm missing.

                  This is another of the photos that my brother scanned from old prints and with which I am having trouble. In particular, the white hazy look to the photo. There are quite a few that have this problem.

                  I have tried to follow some of the techniques outlined in the forums (eg converting...

                  Shiny areas on old photo
                  by leogabe
                  I am working on a pair of old photos that have shiny metallic areas after being scanned. Anyone have a good workflow for removing/repairing this? I also tried to photograph the pictures with the same shiny stuff showing up.

                  Thanks so much for any advice you can offer!
