Usually you can despot > whilst scanning the next slide. There is much discussion of dust, with little on removal. I mean physically removing it, not digitally. I use Ilford Antistaticum cloths (about $5 - $6 each, at your finer photo stores - ant photo store really) to gently rub both sides of the film. Then a spray on both sides with canned air, and I get very few dust marks. I scan with a Leaf, which Austin claims keeps dust from settling on the film (you judge the impatiality of that one. ;-)) but I used the same technique in the wet darkroom with similarly good results. I was also a custom printer (silver BW) in two labs which also used these cloths. They're an industry standard. HTH, Todd
