Since the colors also lose vibrancy in a scan, you might want to equalize it as well. You know... that thing with the dark dropper and the light dropper... thingy?

Try making a carbon copy of it and setting it as a new layer on top of it, set it to Overlay, Hard Light, or Soft Light, and then use a Gaussain Blur (but don't make it too dramatic)... and then play around with the opacity.

I'm not too sure if the smudge tool is a good thing to use for this one, but it's worth a try.

I kinda laugh at people's responses. The problem is obviously the quality that the scanner is set at.
Find your scanner setting, and change the quality to the highest it can go. Also try cleaning the glass of the scanner, perhaps it has smudges. |

^ I'm pretty sure that it's not so much the smudges, but the moire pattern that just naturally occurs with scanning print work. There's not very much you can do about it on Photoshop. You could always try fiddling with your scan settings (look for Descreen if you can).
If you'd still like to try, though, I'd suggest using "Smart Blur" or "Surface Blur". They both blur the image while retaining edges. |
