I've found the healing brush and will be re-doing my 'dust bucket' Tiff file of the original image. I dug out the original negative from my files, such as they are, last night and put the loupe to it. It is still, after a long blast with compressed air, a dust magnet. Looks to be getting dustier just looking at it. (Fuji Acros film BTW). Is anyone using a method different to a blast of canned or compressed air to remove dust on a negative prior to ceonventional darkroom or digital scan work?
