Hey guys & gals. I have a question about some funkiness in a picture I’m supposed to be retouching. It can be found here:

http://www.faceman.com/stuff/rainbow.jpg

See that oil-slick/rainbow type (almost moire-style) thing going on? Wish I knew the technical term for it, if there is one.. I have never encountered this problem on such a scale.

Would that wierdness be the fault of the photographer, the scanner (image scanned by a bureau from a slide.. sorry I don’t have more details :(), or me?

I’m just curious as to what would cause this.. I can get rid of it, but if I can relay some info that would prevent it from happening in the future, that’d be both time-saving and handy.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Newtons rings (look it up). Try cleaning the scanner glass. Keith.

Oh yeh! Classical m8! Very classical!

This image should be preserved for eternity as a classical example of interference patterns (do a google on interference patterns)

There may be some way to reduce or even remove the effect but I can’t say I know about it

Ask your photographer what the ISO setting & exposure settings were (if it is a JPEG look in the EXIF data)

For brevity I’d be tempted to clone it out, healing brush?

You really, really gorra do a google – a fantastic effect but a shame when you don’t want it.

There must be some way to handle it (remember early television erm longer ago television used to have a similar effect with clothing and they managed to do away with it)

Some digital cameras are more prone to it than others – it is sensor dependent or so I understand (but I will not go into that here 🙂

Okay guys, thanks for the help.. I’m just glad to know it’s not something I’m doing wrong.. I didn’t think it was, but just wasn’t 100%. 🙂
