This is a scan of a print I took in the 70's. as you can see there are vertical black lines which are in the print. I have tried to cut the sky out and replace it which helps but the boat has too many details. Is there any advice on removing these? Thanks

    I am actually surprised no mod has moved it to Finishing School here. That is the place folks who retouch hang out.

    Too many details or not, Roger, I think you will have to do some time consuming tight hand selecting and deleting to get something even near decent. Do you have the original slide/negative to get a scan from? Perhaps a better scan or re-photographing the picture with your digital camera might result in better material to work with. I played around with it for 30 or so minutes and came up with this, which still leaves much to be desired.
