Paul, I used the unsharp mask with the settings 200 0.5 0, and then used the blur tool to work on the background noise. I did not spend more that 10 minutes on the noise, and could maybe have improved it more. What do you think?

HI Paul.
I use Neat Image in the background and you USM to sharp it. 0,3 pixels and 300 % amount. It's not 100% but I think it's better. What do you think

Regards
