n need of help!

Took a few images of a wedding event and many suits ended up with this strange swirly pattern on it. Any ideas on how this can be fixed?

Ensure that you are viewing at 100% or 1:1 view so that you are not introducing further moiré on the monitor view, over and above what may or may not be present in the image. If resampling, the same rule applies.

There is a good tutorial here:

Back in 2003 I created an action based on this tutorial. It was based around Photoshop 5.0, but I don't think that anything has greatly changed that would make the action invalid today.

Edit: Here is a quick, rough-n-ready example, I didn't make much effort at clean masking or painstaking effort at removing the major bands.

Click on the image below, then right click the reduced size preview and open the image in a new window or tab, depending on your browser, you may need to click again to show the image at full 1:1 scale (4888x1629px) rather than at a reduced view. You could also download from this view to inspect in Photoshop at 100% view.

For what it is worth, here's a link to the action

The action was created for personal use, so it may or may not be obvious what to do, despite the action having stop messages with instructions etc.

It may be good to follow the tutorial step by step manually, then the action may make more sense.
