I only now have a jpg of this image after a recent hard drive disaster and on closer inspection I can see that there appears to be artefacts in the graduated bokeh in the lower right area which seen here as a crop.

The artefacts really show up on a print.

Do any of our guru's have ideas on how I can smooth these out without effecting the rest of the images. I assume I will need to use a layer at some point and I would prefer to be able to just brush in the adjusted layer for the BG and keep what is left of the image quality intact.

Thank you for your assistance,

Wayne.
