Quite a mouthful I know, but you're possibly curious now. I recently discovered this method of removing the paper texture (or any repeating pattern) from scanned photographs and it works a treat. This video explains it far better than I can: Several Photoshop plugins are available for both Mac and Windows, easily found on Google. The one in the above video uses the red channel, whereas the version of the plugin I downloaded uses the green channel (but the method is identical and it's pretty obvious which channel to use when you first run it).
Here's my first attempt. That's a pretty amazing result without a lot of work. I'll be trying it soon. Thanks for sharing! You're welcome.:thumbup: Out of the box it will only work on black and white images but there is a way of using it with a colour image. Firstly convert a copy of the image to black and white and run the filter as you normally would.
Then take the resulting 'clean' image, paste it into a new layer over the original colour image and change the blend mode of the black and white layer to luminosity. Here's my second attempt.
