Does anyone know of a program which will take a (dotty) photogravure pic and convert it back (as far as is possible) to the original one from which the plates were made?
Not automatically no...but probably if loaded up in Gimp and the noise and scratch filters are applied carefully with a bit of blur to try and filter the dots out and the hue corrected...you *might* get reasonable results. You want to start of by scanning it in as high resolution as possible (into a non-lossy format..not jpeg)
