Some questions and a comments. I see the image posted is jpg small format. Is that the output from your scanner. If so you might want to change it to tiff. I downloaded your image and got considerable improvement after downsizing it to 7x10 and using the stabilize function in Topaz Sharpen AI. Photoshop has a stabilize filter under, I believe, Filters, Sharpen, Shake Reduction. In my opinion it is not as effective as Topaz but you might give it a try.
Actually, no. The original TIFF image that I got from the scanner was 93MB. I ran it through LR, it came out at 203 MB. I make small images to post online so that they don't take an hour to try to load only to get kicked back for size.

Thanks to the suggestion to rescan and do it over, I'm posting a new image. It turned out HUGE! LR didn't have a problem with it, but PS sure did. I used the scan settings I'm now using that give me a 600+ MB file. I processed it the same way in LR as the original, then took it to PS and tried the new settings in the layer. Here's the result (downsized!). It came out over 4G and PS wouldn't save it!
I'm not happy with it. It has lost a lot of the sparkle that I liked in the original. Since I don't know anything about "high pass" and the "soft" or "hard light" settings, I'm not sure if that made the difference or not. The two original scans look pretty much the same.
