Hi folks, A few weeks back there was some conversation happening around removing dust marks from a digital transfer of film. I am wondering what processes were being suggested to use to remove the marks digitally. I recently shot a Super 16mm film for a fellow filmmaker and we just got the

Roger: We use horribly expensive film restoration software for dust-busting (as it’s called in the trade). It’s part of a package that costs more than a decent new car, so I’m not recommending it for casual use. (As a result my car is a 1995.) It deals with both black and white dust and dirt

Most, if not all, of her writing remains readily available to anyone with access to a college or university library. The harder to find stuff might be specific program notes or catalogue essays. Does anyone know if there’s a comprehensive bibliography available? On Jun 26, 2014, at 5:09 AM,
