  Subject: [Digital BW] Salvaging damaged negatives



  Is there a technique in Photoshop that might help with this? I'm trying to salvage 25-year 
  old B&W negatives that have been damaged by poor storage. It's a long story, but the 
  images have historic value, hence the salvage effort.

  In any case, there is extensive crazing in the emulsion of the 35mm Tri-X negatives, 
  leaving a visible pattern of random cracks in the image and leaving an overall gray tone.

  Here's a link to a sample image:

  Any ideas for how to approach a problem of this kind? All suggestions appreciated.
