[filmscanners] Software dust removal
Hi All,
Further to my previous messages I have obtained a Scan Dual I on trial. I
have tried it with the Vuescan trial version (and also the Minolta drivers -
so this must be a later model that works on XP).
Although my negatives were clean and visually dist free, there must be a
fair amount of dust in my camera & lenses. Also the scanner may have been
dusty, as the scanned imaged (done at max resolution ~ 2400 ppi) appeared to
have dust & scratches.
Firstly: What can I do to prevent dust entering the scanner? Should I be
turning it on a while before using it?
Secondly: Software dust removal? I have tried the AKVIS retoucher, and
wasn't to impressed. I have also tried Polaroid's DSR, which I like,
although I found the standalone app better than the photoshop plugin. This
was based on something that would sort out an entire scan, without having to
highlight each individual piece of dust/artefacts (the polaroid did a very
good job of doing this).
Can anyone recommend other apps, and where to get them (The DSR apparently
is not available in europe!).
Cheers
Chris
