BxMomo, glad you stopped by... Check to see if you scanner has a setting for "Descreen", this will knock down "some" of the Morie Pattern. Next in PS create a layer and run a Gaussian Blur (Filter --> Blur --> Gaussian Blur) at a low setting (Radius = 1.1 pixels). To bring back some of the detail you can run a Sharpen filter. Play around with the settings but as long as you are doing this to a Layer and not you Background image you can always delete the Layer and try again. You might want to see what you get if you change the Blend Mode on the Gaussian Blur layer to allow some of the original image show through. my2c :) retrocity
