    Heavily mottled background in old scan

    Tom: Thank you for the info! I'll try this on the original as soon as I can. Just one question more: I use Noise Ninja. Is it as good as the Topaz plugin?

    Heavily mottled background in old scan

    Interested in your technique? You bet I am!! This is what I was trying to achieve from the outset. I tried to upload the original scan but it was huge for my connection speed. Thanx!!

    Heavily mottled background in old scan

    Thank your the interesting take on this problem. Yes, the original was a high-res TIFF scan with no artifacts. It is also quite likely that this noise is related to the low-qual paper fiber, but also quite likely that this was a commercial print (low qual paper, exhausted chemicals, etc.).
