Removing Halftone distortion from scanned images
Okay. This isn't probably the best forum for this question, but thought I'd give it a shot...
I have several B & W .jpg files scanned from a high school yearbook. (The files were previously scanned -- not captured through Photoshop Elements).
The images are artifact ridden with what I believe is known as "halftone" distortion. (I'm wondering if I've got the terminology wrong and hence my inability to find anything on the web...)
In any event, is there a filter in PS Elements to simply improve these scans? I thought there was something called "descreen", but can't seem to find it.
Thanks.

I also have a plug in called Grain Surgery that has done wonders for grain and Moiré.
Here's a simple step by step of scanning previously printed images.
