| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #1 January 3rd 2006 18:25:54 | Right, there are a number of things you can do here. First up, I'd remove the specks - you could use despeckle, but that tends to lose detail - so I'd use the Spot Healing Brush (say 17px 80% hardness) to fix them. Just dab it. Why 17px? Because it's just a bit bigger than any of the flecks - 80% so the edges aren't too hard. Next I'd be tempted to fix the bright corner in the lower right - simplest way is just to create an action to reduce Brightness -5 increase Contrast +1 and Deselect. Then use the Lasso (feathered 5px) to select an area. Click the action. Select a new area, click it - repeat until the shade is more uniform. Why repeatedly select/deselect? To prevent steps from being visible. You can do a similar thing to lighten stubborn areas too. Better than Dodge/Burn because it adds contrast at the same time. Final step would be sharpening - since there's a bit of noise some HighPass Sharpening would be my preference. Now, why didn't I add an image? Simple - you need to provide a far higher res scan to give us the detail we need, particularly for the Sharpening :) Hope that helps, Adrian | |||||||||||||||||||||
