MIchelle, this is so crackled I thought at first it was a new image given a crackle plugin treatment! What would I do? I am not very good at this stuff but do know too much correction will only result in a nice image which has "lost the flavor" of age. My advice first would be to try and layer it, segregating the fine points like the eyes and perhaps a median filter on the rest..then put together adjusting opacity. Cloning might look rather smeared or leave trails done on an almost pixel level. I might download and try. Then, I will likely give up on this advice and find a better way to balance the age with the overall appearance. Wow, what a challenge! You folks are better than I have reached in this sort of work. Maybe you will get some good advice. Tom.
