Re: [OM] Dust and Scratch Removal

[Chuck Norcutt]

I hadn't used the history brush in about 8 years so I had to brush up on 
it a bit.  I worked on a scan of an old color negative of my wife that I 
had scanned into a positive long before I had a scanner with infrared 
channel.  I had already spotted the big stuff but the image was covered 
with numerous tiny spots that looked like gold flecks.  I'm happy to 
report that it worked like a charm.  All the tiny gold flecks are gone 
and there's no significant loss of any detail.
