Hi, I'm retouching some old family photo's and could do with a bit if help.

I'm able get rid of most of the scars and boost the colours of the old image as below:-

old


New


The problem I'm having is there is quite a lot of green noise on the image. Particularly the sofa. See below:-



I've run noise filters which can fix it a bit but to be honest it mainly just blurs the green into the black and makes the image that bit less sharp.

I'm finding that on quite a few of the old pictures I'd got it's created this problem especially in darker areas. Any suggestions for how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

would using the clone or healing brush blur it to much? or if there's a good spot on the couch, maybe make a pattern and then blend the edges? otherwise nothing else comes to mind. good luck
