I would really appreciate your help with an old image I am trying to restore. It is an image of my wife’s grandmother and it has a great sentimental value to her. I have posted a cropped portion of the image at http://home.comcast.net/~jcgnba/html/restoration.html <http://home.comcast.net/%7Ejcgnba/html/restoration.html>
The problem is that I scanned the only print that exists (the original has been lost) and the paper where it was printed has a honeycomb texture. I have tried using Gaussian Blur, Despeckle, Median and Unsharp Mask in different combinations without any success. Some combinations do get rid of the pattern but then the image is so bkurred that it becomes useless.
I would really appreciate any input and suggestions. This would make a great holilday gift for my wife if I can figure out a way to solve the pattern issue.
Happy holidays to all,
Carlos
