Digital BW, The Print

Agreed, the same approach works also for artifacts due to sharpening. If I
want to print at 13x19", I set the magnification in Photoshop so that it's
the same as the print size (set image size to the final print and then
change magnification until inches on the ruler you see on your screen are,
well, inches), and then start working with sharpening tools. Taking a look
at 100% magnification will make your hair raise, as the image will look
awful, but this won't show on the print. Does anyone else use this
procedure? I always heard about sharpening at 100%...
BTW, the difference with spotting is that you may want to spot at 100% just
to get rid of it once and for all, rather than have to go through this
boring step again if you want to print larger someday (this isn't the case
with sharpening, as you *have* to sharpen from scratch if you change print
size in order to obtain the best results).

selection?


I used to do that, but now I usually print a proof at the final size
first, then circle all the spots on the proof where I can actually see
the dust in the final print, and go back and fix only those spots. I
found I was cleaning up a lot of stuff that didn't make a difference.
