7. Click OK
8. Click on the Lab Channel (the image becomes colour again)
9. Open the Layers window
10. Duplicate the Background Copy (makes Background Copy 2)
11. Filter / Blur / Gaussian Blur - adjust until colours blend; we did 25 pixels
12. Change the Layer Blending Mode from Normal to Color
13. Hold the Shift Key down and tap on the Background Copy so both are active
14. Open the More Options fly out menu from the upper right corner of the Layers window and choose to New Group From Layers. Click OK
15. Hold down the Option (or Alt for PC) key and click on the Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers window. It will be a black mask.
16. Use the Brush tool, Normal mode, 100% opacity, 100% flow to apply White paint over the moire. Choose a brush size appropriate for the job.
17. Choose Layer / Flatten Image
18. Image / Mode / RGB

You're finished!
Desperate times call for desperate measures and I realise this is a
LOT of steps but it worked every time on the father of the groom's suit in an entire wedding. By making the action, this rather involved process was reduced to one click, a quick swab with a brush and one more click to finish. We'll be keeping this action just in case we need it again.
I'm going to name it Jane's Heavy Duty Moire Murder-cator or
JCz HD MM for short. It can be remembered as
"Jane's Hard Drive is filled with M&Ms" Just Kidding - Big Smiles!
Thanks!
