You might try duplicating the base layer, setting the copy layer to "Burn" and adjusting the opacity.
Not sure what you're going to use it for, but, if I may suggest, since you know the defect is there, no matter what you do, there may never be a time you don't immediately see the defect yourself. Very hard to not know and to not see what you already know and see. Other viewers, however, will most likely find interest in the primary content, the people's faces, and may never be concerned about or even notice "participants wearing mouldy clothes."
Hi Neurolurker,
It is a family photo, so we'll only be using it within our family.
After a fire at the family home which destroyed all their photos, we are searching around for replacements, so it would be great if I could restore this one (and some others).
It is not disastrous as it stands, and even adds some 'patina' to the door behind the happy couple (the wife's grandparents).
Thank you for your suggestion which I will investigate further and get back yo you.
thx
