I'm working on a black and white picture that has a lot of dust specks and what looks like a faint waffle looking pattern on it.
I tried a tutorial called History Brush for Dust and Scratches by: down2earth2.
I've used it a few times before and it works great but on this particular occasion it isn't working so well.
Once I've completed the tutorial the picture looks ok but when I print it out the waffle pattern comes back and is tinted with a faint redish hue.
Is there another way to get rid of that waffle pattern.
Thanks
There happens to be a sample chapter on the internet from Katrin Eismann's book, "Photoshop Restoration and Retouching." The chapter happens to be entitled, "Dust, Mold, and Texture Removal in Photoshop." You couldn't find better info anywhere!
Thanks Welles I will check it out and run my picture through the process again.
Hopefully this will solve my problem although I didn't have any trouble getting rid of the dust and scratches etc. with the other tutorial, it was the waffle pattern coming back after printing that was the problem.
Lasa I'm not sure you will be able to see much after I've reduced it to the size allowed for attachments but I'll try.
The attachment is the original before anything has been done to it, not sure just which you want to see.
I'm afraid I can't show the waffle pattern as it only shows up after I've printed it. It's not really that obvious in the original because of the size, but it showed up in the darker areas like on the pants of the kid sitting in front right and on the dark areas of the jackets of the kids sitting at the front table. The same areas where the dust was removed.
Hope the pic shows up.
I don't understand why it is showing up as that size. When I go to Photoshop> Image>Image Size it tells me it is 100.1K pixels.
Is there something I'm not doing right, is there another way to tell the size of the file.
Ok I'll try it again sorry about this. I've changed it to 98 KB but when I go to Browse to find the file on my desktop it shows it still to be 104 KB. I'm using OS X and Browse brings up the Sidebar>Desktop>then the file at that point it shows a thumbnail pic and the information below it. That's where it shows it to be 104KB. I'll post it any way just in case it is ok.
