This is a standard technique for removing screens from images scanned from publications. You can then 'sharpen' if you want. Subtlety is the KEY in using photoshop, along with never using the 'auto levels' etc. Learn how to play with the curves, and don't over sharpen. Open any newspaper and you can see how to fuck up a photograph in Photoshop. - -- Johnny Deadman "One must have a heart of stone to read the death of Little Nell without laughing" - Oscar Wilde
