How does dust removal affect the cost of scanning?
When it comes to dust and stains, B&W negatives and photographs are the most time consuming to clean. The effective automatic processes used to tidy up colour slides and film cannot be used, therefore retouching by hand is required. This may take a moment or two, or in the case of visible dirt and damage, several minutes per photo. This “digital dusting” is charged at a rate of one dollar per minute.
