Photography Question

Pattern issues


 
 
I was hoping someone could help with this photo. Seems the tight pattern caused some issues with some colors and patterns. Is there a semi easy way to fix this and better yet an easy way to advoid it in the future?

  Hi Shon, I'm not very sure of exactly what you are asking. It would be easier to offer a possible solution if you supplied the metadata (EXIF). What exposure mode? Aperture and shutter settings?

The background isn't a good choice considering the blond hair--blends into the background.

  The problem I am having is the mans shirt. I got some odd colors and patterns from it......

  The effect is called moire. There are methods for correcting/removing it, but I'm not experienced enough to explain them. There seem to be lots of tutorials available if one Googles "correcting moire".

  Have you tried printing the picture?

I've seen many cases where patterns like this will show up on the screen at certain magnifications, but don't show up in prints.

  I have not tried printing I was assuming that it would print as I saw it, if I zoom in to actual pixel size they are a different color and the pattern runs together. I will try it though. Luckily they are all family huh?

I have had this happen to me but I think it was during the sharpening phase... not sure though!
