There are very few defects to Photoshop away after the prints are scanned because I take normal precautions while in the darkroom to ensure that not a lot of dust is on the negative when I enlarge it. Every darkroon, whether dark or digital, should have a Static Master brush, canned air, and a bottle of Kodak or Edwal film cleaner. Digitally getting rid of dust softens everything. Why not take the time to scan a clean piece of film? Sam S Nathan Wajsman wrote: > Richard, > > The color pic may be smoother, but the B&W one is sharper and I prefer > it.
