Digital BW, The Print

I used to spend a lot of time panning around my images at 100% magnification
and manually spotting out every little speck of dust that I could find. Then
I finally realized that half of that stuff doesn't even show up on the final
print. Now I print a proof first, and I only bother spotting the stuff that
I can actually see on the print.

Subject: [Digital BW] Film scanning and scratches


I notice that I spend
a tremendous amount of time retouching film scratches on over half of
the images that I have scanned. These are very fine scratches on the
film base, that would typically not be visible in an enlargement made
in an enlarger, but which are very visible when scanned and enlarged
in Photoshop.
