<p>i dont know about plugin, but depending on the moire problem, it can be easy. if you have capture-one, there is a moire tool. you can process a file with that and brush that into the areas you need. if not, sometimes you can use a color fill layer set to color and then by selecting the color of the clothing you need you can brush that it. this way doesnt always work well when you move from highlights to midtones to shadows. another way is just to desaturate and clip a curve mask to it depending upon the color you can try to match. some extreme versions i tend to do very manually by dodging and burning. in minor instances, a hugely quick trick is to use the rubber stamp. set it on color. then pick an area of color similar to what you want.. and brush away!</p>

<p>i found this as i was looking for the reasons as to why this happens.... so i obviously can't tell you that. i do know a few fixes. one is capture one has a moire tool that tends to work well, but you must be careful around the edges of clothing. another is the color fill layer (set on color) which is also sometimes a problem when you go between highlights midtones and shadows. for a black tuxedo, i would desaturate completely then clip a curve to that which would get the right black you want. those seem to work well for me. the only problem is extreme moire which i just dodge and burn and use many of the various tools above. that is a huge pain and i hope there is a way to avoid it in shooting.</p>

an answer for anyone searching this post as i did 3 and a half years later...

if you're concerned about costs for framing and how a buyer my look upon the final price of a print then possibly the gallery can list the price with and without framing. the couple of shows i have had work in i was able to do this. i priced the prints at 400 unframed and 550 framed. this was at cost to get the 11x14 prints professionally framed @ 150 a piece. if you can front the initial cost and think you'll sell some prints then i would do it this way. the gallery i worked with actually suggested this pricing method. plus i got them to pay for 2 of the 3 frames. i never sold them framed, but now i do have 3 of my prints professionally framed. they look beautiful in them as well. maybe this will help someone out there. -jesse

thanks dave... i realize i hadn't made it clear.. the first time i spit on it, i tried

rewashing for awhile. it didn't seem to help. i'll give it another shot though... thanks!

i have done this just twice... when i'm impatient to get a bit of dust off of a color

negative (for some reason i've only done it to color even though i shoot more B&W). I

blow on the negative and accidentally get a tiny amount of spit onto it. the first time i

did it i thought, "oh it's just spit, it'll dry out and be fine". wrong. it has left a mark i

don't know how to get rid of.

prior to scanning it the other day, i did it again to another negative without thinking.

this time i immediately rushed to the film cleaner and wipes.... to no avail. the same

marks!

i am wondering if this has happened to anyone, and also if they know how to fix it. i

tried washing the negative the first time i did it.... no luck. I can always go to

photoshop, but i'd love to have the nice clean neg i started with... sans saliva.

i'll post the most recent photo... the marks are obvious... left-center and upper left

corner. in this case, i have better frames of the photo... but in case my mind slips,

next time i'd love to know how to take care of it! thanks! -jesse<div></div>
