Canned air sometimes blows liquid, and doesn't remove the static that causes the dust to cling. Just make sure not to touch the bristles of the Staticmaster brush (skin oils cause a problem), and remember to replace the radioactive element every 18 months or so. I just buy a new one every 19 months or so.

Thanks to all. The amount of knowledge resident in our little group is outstanding! 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?
