Looks like the printer didn’t stop/fix/wash the print properly and now it’s oxidizing quite badly. Any suggestions for getting this to look acceptable?

Thanks!

Just for a starter:
– Open image in Photoshop (duh)
– Go to Image->Adjustments->Replace color…
– Select the yellowish colors (I used fuziness=40 and needed 6 clicks) – Increase the lightness in such a way, that the yellowish oxidation spots are much lighter, but still contain detail (I used 37) – Press Ok
– Go to Image->Mode->Grayscale

Not perfect, but it is a start.

Thanks, Waldo, hadn’t thought of that. Will give it a shot!

Another way,

Convert to LAB
Image>Adjust>Hue and Saturation, select yellows from the drop down. Slide the saturation slider all the way over to the left. Select the lightness channel and hit it with a little USM and Levels adjustment to improve the contrast.
Delete the a & b channels and change the image mode to grey scale. Not perfect either but hey, less than 2 minutes 😉
