Removing original paper texture from high res b&w scans

[ordinarydream]

Hello respondents!

Thanks soo much - soo fast with responses and the screenshots are easy to understand. Clear communication, free of personal slurs - an enlightening forum experience!

I shall try the curves and then investigate the plugin, however: Please excuse my total ignorance, but the plug in with the scan repair tool is a separate program that interacts with gimp or...?? I don´t even know what a plugin is; in my anachronistic mind plug in is a phrasal verb, not a noun - much to learn have I.......

Thanks heeeaaps

Hiya,

Is that the colour selection tool in the lefthand toolbox? If so I have tried that, but due to ink not being uniformly black the selection is patchy. I guess I can try integrating layers of very similarly selected colours with this method, though?

Thanks,

Luke
