How to fix this M8 moire issue?

[ROOOO]

Hi everyone,

Can someone point me towards instructions for removing the moire on the guy's shirt in this image? I've had similar patterns appear in my photos and want to know how to remove them. Here's the full-size image: http://bit.ly/m8moire

I tried a method previously that involved creating some masks in Photoshop, but it didn't really do much. If there's a way to do this in Aperture or Lightroom, that would be great.

Thanks!

I used one anti-moire plugin from Fred Miranda to clear the rare occurences of moire in my D70 images. It wouldn't remove the maze artifacts though. Then I used DxO which is imho the best image editor and raw processor on the market. Although the M8/M9 exif have litterally zero meaningful embedded info which could help, you could try the DxO trial version and see if it works for you

One word: M9

I would say the M9 shows more moire than the M8.

Whenever an analog signal is digitized, aliasing occurs. Methods to minimize aliasing always reduce information content. Usually the information loss is trivial.

Spatial digitization always creates aliasing. As mentioned above, AA filters minimize moire. Some cameras have strong AA filters, some have medium, and some cameras' filters are weak.

The good thing about a post-digitization solution is you should be able to blur the detail (destroy information content) selectively.

I prefer a compromise where the camera has a relatively weak AA. Overall information content loss is low and moire artifacts are suppressed.
