[Leica] Chemical Stains on Film

[Mark Rabiner]

You know that somewhere out there is a restoration specialist person who is really good and who does not make your photo look like it came out of a strip mall and charges not a small amount but for a key image from one’s body of work might just be worth it. Nowadays we do such business not just with the vender in town but anywhere on planet Earth it opens up the possibilities.
I had to get a fashion shot airbrushed my first year in business I had one but would not be able to even begin to do it myself.

Second idea is get specific Photoshop lessons from those people who really are experts and like to teach or show people stuff how to work all kinds of magic you’d never figure out yourself.. Most of us who are really good at Photoshop having used it for 27 years are only using the tip of the iceberg as  it’s not a planet it’s a galaxy. If I had a lot of film with stains like that I’d do that as I hate to have other people mess with my output.
As my Dad would say “I look upon that with da stain.” I think he got it from the Bowery Boys.

    PESO:
    
    I'm running into a batch of film that has chemical stains on it.  I think
    it was high speed E-6 film that I developed myself and messed up.  Does
    anybody have any suggestions for removing the stains digitally?  I've tried
    just cloning them out but it's too large an area and ends up looking
    splotchy.  Any software that might remove them??
