Here

Bigi, thank you. Its an honour,

I gave it a shot, but this is a tough one.

Its a tough one for some reason, I cant get rid of the grainy look.

Can you turn and improve her in this photo?

Blah's Attempt
 

Sorry Fritzyy it took so long. I've been busy at my job all week so here is my attempt. I used mostly the "Gaussian Blur" from the "Blur" filter to get rid of most of the specks. I used a weak blur on the cmyk channel which is all four channel selected at the same time on the channel pallet and a stronger blur on only the cyan, magenta, and yellow channels. I also with the Lasso tool to select certain areas of the image that need work and applied a stronger blur on the main channel (cmyk) and indeviduel channels (cyan), (magenta), and (yellow). I've also used other filters such as "Dust & Speaks" on the "Noise" filter. After cleaning up the Image I applied a "Unsharp Mask" to give the image more depth after bluring it so much. I'm not good at interpreting things or at spelling so this is my best explaination.

A good way to decrease graininess is to reduce size. After all what's the point of a pic too big to fit on the screen?

old album
 

anybody for this old pics? :) :) ;)

Color corrected, graininess reduced, focused and lighted correctly, spots fixed

Blahman, thanks. That retouch looks great.

Bigi, thanks for the hot tip on graininess.
