Another Way to (Maybe) Get Rid of Moiré on Your Images

With my old postcards, I sometimes use them to enhance my blog writings. Many times I get a moiré pattern from the scan. I've read other places about adding Noise, median, etc. but it doesn't do much of a fix for me, except to make the scan more blurry. So I thought I'd try something else.

First up, my original scan:

Notice the significant patterning on the grass and on the street. Turning the postcard in the scanner to a portrait position did not help remove the moiré. Neither did editing it in Photoshop.

So I re-scanned it at an angle---like this:

Lo, and behold the moiré seems to be gone.  Here's the postcard again rotated and cropped for easier viewing:

Maybe it will work for you too!
