Digital BW, The Print

I doubt it is the scanner as well.

Although I develop my own B&W negs, I still get some
minor scratches here and there.  It happens even
though I am as careful as possible.  My guess is that
it happens while putting the film on the reels.

Cleaning B&W negatives in PS prior to printing is,
without a doubt, the most time consuming and
monotonous part of my digital workflow.

Too bad ICE doesn't work with B&W!!
