Does anyone know of a guide or article on how to smooth scans of newspaper clipping images?

I'm using PSE 2018 on Win 11

Thanks for your tips!

Select the blur you want from the Filters menu. Additional adjustments can be made using sliders in a new dialog box. To blur only the necessary amount of the unwanted texture, start with low numbers and slide to the right .

This is a very difficult task to perform.  I assume you are talking about the moire pattern that appears in scans of newspaper copy.  If you attach a sample scan, we may be able to give you some practical suggestions.
