Re: filmscanners: Negative cleaning
Try PEC-12 or Kodak film cleaner and/or some compressed air. The dust on
the just-processed film may be the processor's doing in running the film
through their machine or in handling it afterward. If it's bad enough you
may be wise to try another film processor.

Subject: filmscanners: Negative cleaning
| I recently purchased a Minolta Scan Dual and so far, I'm happy with it's
| performance. I've been trying to scan a number of old negatives however
| and am having a terrible time getting them clean enough to not require
| extensive touchup with Photoshop.
|
| I've even tried scanning some negatives immediately after getting them
| back from processing. Again, they show very noticeable dust...
| Obviously, my office isn't a "clean room", but anything to make this
| task easier would be appreciated.
|
| Does anyone have any suggestions?
