Oh didn't realise that, won't bother trying that then.

Thank you Matt again for your expert assistance, I have had success!
I fiddled with the de Noise filter in PS set at full strength and heh presto, banding has gone, only flipside is photo is a bit soft but with this old photo does not detract from it very much.
Very pleased with the result indeed:
will make sure I note down the settings in notebook for future reference!



thank you again for being there in times of need

cheers Lilly

ps- thanks Chris, I did think I might have to revert to rephotograping it if I had to.

Yes, I did select grayscale & photo.
My Epson flat bed scanner does not seem to have a descreen option on it.

Looks like I will have to fiddle with it in PS, thanks anyway.

Cheers

I wonder if anyone has had the same experience and if so is there a way around it?

I need to scan an old b&w photo but only have a photocopy (a pretty good copy)
I scanned the photocopy in at 400dpi, enhanced it as required just levels etc and then went to print it, but as I suspected, it has come out just like newsprint lots of horrible banding and dots:




what do you reckon is it a no win situation?

Hi Steve,

Welcome to the forum, you couldn't be anywhere better to improve your photography, it will be interesting also to see images froma different part of the world.

Now, re the above ? following this link, Josh got me going on mono conversion, you can't go wrong with his method, good luck and post them up.

What a stunning building John Ryland's Library is, must put it on my list of places to visit!

Apologies for being tardy but it has been a manic Monday.

OMG! another win, you are all probably get pretty fed up with me!(yes, lenscape it is 5, glad to hear you are keeping tally!)

However, Martin I have to say what an interesting and in depth appraisel you produced and in your second language, what a mammoth task it must have been, I thought my 30 odd entries for MOTION way back was a stiff task, I think you deserve first prize for 'I am the Judge'
It was a great show of images and very enjoyable to scroll thru'

It was taken in Vancouver 2 years ago on 35mm Delta but not with my new 10-20 Sigma, but with the good ol' Pentax 17-28 which now has become redundant in my 35mm over flow bag.
I do enjoy seeing an old photo taken come to life again, thank you for the prestigious award! Now you can have the fun and enter!

So, will have a think and post up the next one some time this evening.

speak soon, Lilly

Congrats Joshua, well deserved it is a superb image, thank u also for sharing you mono tops with me. Wondered where you had got to?
