This is my first post. I received a newspaper clipping from the 1940s which contains a photo a client would like restored. I work with PS CS6. In dealing with the moire I was going to use Katrina Eismann's technique in her Restoration and Retouching book. I also have some tips about using surface blur and Gaussian blur from the Internet to experiment with. Does anyone have any other tips they could give me in dealing with moire to get the best result? Thanks.

Re: Newspaper photo restoration
I am working on a BW clipping at present for OPR, the blur plus sharpen plus noise reduction routine has given me an excellent start and no issues with moire.
A few web comments suggest that it is more of an issue with a coloured image or perhaps later images where there are more dots per inch.
I did a search on descreening and found a site offering a reasonably priced PS plugin which is claimed to also address moire. The demo version has a size limit and no manual control, on the image I have it produced a result almost identical with the blur/sharpen approach.
Suggest you try blur/sharpen and find out if you have moire, you might be lucky. If not the plugin could be worth a try.

Re: Newspaper photo restoration
Thank you for your comments. I have spent half the evening playing with this FT plugin. After the trial and error, I finally have the result I was hoping for. A nice sharp image with almost no pattern. I will still try a blur/sharpen as well just to compare.

Re: Newspaper photo restoration
You might want to give this a try seemed to be a pretty good process. I used a highpass filter to sharpen set to overlay and then a final with unmask sharp filter seemed to do a good job

I'm back with another baby picture of my father.
I've gotten as far as I can on this with my current skill level. I have no clue how to handle that stain on his right arm. Also, I do not know how to deal with that HORRIBLE texture over the entire picture. Lastly...-

by nspwisI'm attaching an image that is important for my local historical society, which is restoring an 1867 house. The goal for restoring this photo is to be able to see at least some of the details of the wallpaper in this room. Getting this to the point of a perfectly restored photograph would be nice,...

by zeusterI have seen in previous posts on this site on how a Fourier Transformation plugin for Photoshop (PC only) can be used to reduce the intrusive pattern created by heavily embossed photo paper when it is scanned. (Search for 'fourier' or FFT on this site)
