My dad turned 80 and his friend gave him some great condition 35mm BW negs (1956 & 1959). Except for major dust.
I did not want to manually clean with chemicals, didn’t want to risk any damage.
I have a Canonscan FS 4000.
All my previous experience with it is from color slides, I got it with digital Ice, it’s a prog that auto removes dust and scratches at the scan phase.(big improvement over my old Minolta)
It does not work on BW negs! It says the operation failed and after further research I find it isn’t designed to work on BW negs.
So now I have a bunch of really dusted up and sometimes scratched scans. I manually spotted one image and it took like 2 hours for just dust. I tried Gaussian/ dust scratches and overlay, hue, color, none of that looked right.
anyone have a good faster way I can fix them?
the scanning is super slow already and I need to do 4 rolls of 24
