Scanning Options Explained: Cloning & Healing, Manual Dust & Scratch Removal

 

We use two techniques to remove dust & scratches during scanning of your images. Digital ICE dust & scratch removal is our first line of defense. Digital ICE works very well but occasionally manual techniques must be used along with Digital ICE to provide you with blemish free images. When Digital ICE fails to remove some large blemishes we'll take a few minutes to remove them manually using cloning and healing techniques. Gold scans include this feature. Please note that we will repair small scratches or blemishes within reason. For more involved repair please see our photo restoration services. The example below was cleaned up very well with Digital ICE but still had one large blemish after scanning. The pictures below show this blemish being removed with our cloning and healing process.

Below is the entire image with the enlarged portion highlighted

Below is an enlarged portion of the scan. You can clearly see the area in question.

Below you see the same enlarged portion after the blemish was manually removed.
