Hi Pipsmom,

This is a very difficult one because it is a combination of a repeated pattern in the photo (like half-tone etc...) and a surface deterioration of that photo.

It is possible to reduce a normal pattern using the 'Fourier Filter' but in this case the deterioration of the surface is making it nearly impossible.

I used the Fourier filter (I'll post a tutorial at the end)

With a 'normal' pattern you would need to cover only the little clusters of stars but in this case there are big pale circles = surface deterioration

with result

Maybe there are other ways and I'll read that when someone comes up with it...

Thank you Eggy for confirmation it just isn't me having a bad day :cry: .......... I continue to tweek with various programs...then dodging and burning......looks like I need to work on back ground more then colorise and draw the line somewhere on this one.... early 1900's photographers phew what a work out


Update so far.... With your new eyes...Is it to much on the people?

Maybe you could use the healing brush and the spot healing brush to avoid dodging and burning too much.

At the end add a curves adjustment layer to correct the brightness and use a high Pass adjustment layer to sharpen the image but thats trial and error...
