StS Posted July 6, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 6, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Good evening, I have the feeling this question fits better to the film section rather than post processing - I would be interested in your scratch-removal techniques during post-processing. Do you pixel/paint scratches with neighbouring colours/grey scales, or are there special plugins to handle scratches? Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbl Posted July 7, 2010 Share #4 Posted July 7, 2010 If you're scanner supports ICE that usually helps quite a bit (at least for color), but in post processing, nothing beats the healing brush in PS. -jbl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StS Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted July 7, 2010 Unfortunately, infrared is no option, since I mainly use black and white films. Thank you, guys, the healing brush seems to be the most appropriate tool then. Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbaron Posted July 7, 2010 Share #6 Posted July 7, 2010 This works in the darkroom, so it's worth a go with a scanner. Wipe your finger on your nose (on, not in) and wipe it over the scratch on the neg. Then gently wipe clean with a cloth an re-scan. It works like wax on a a car's paintwork and fills the scratch. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wblynch Posted July 9, 2010 Share #7 Posted July 9, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I use Photoshop CS4 and find the Healing Brush does not always do what I want. Occasionally I have to use the Clone Stamp to assist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCS Posted July 10, 2010 Share #8 Posted July 10, 2010 I find the healing brush smudges the grain in the photo and makes it obvious where I've fixed things. If others don't have this issue, are there certain brush settings that you use? Karen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
