A few years ago I was able to scan (at a high resolution, yielding 23 MB TIFF files) a collection of old picture postcards, mostly early 20th century town and city views, before they were auctioned off on eBay. It was probably my mistake not to fool around with the scanner’s descreen feature, because though I didn’t take it seriously at the time, I was left with faint diagonal lines running through most of the images – as the printing process involved using those tiny dots of color (halftones?)
Can this problem be fixed? A motion-panning test with various video applications still showed these lines – and they moved when tracking in and out. I just don’t know if I can digitally descreen the images now, after they’ve been scanned, or if I’m out of luck here. Photoshop doesn’t seem to have a descreen filter, and please don’t suggest the video de-interlace, as it doesn’t do anything, nor blurring of any kind, as I need the detail. I’m sure printing the picture out wouldn’t help either.
Help would be highly appreciated!!
