There's a lot in that gaze

Remember when I talked about penalizing the moment of capture in favor of ease of processing? This photo is a good example of why that ease of processing is so seductive.
Since I do all of my dust and scratch spotting on a separate "layer" in Photoshop, I can show you this map of all of the spotting I had to do. And there was plenty of it.

I was kinda wondering when I read, "In which I return to an old love" if you had to deal with dust when scanning the negatives (and how much of it). When I was more into scanning film about 4 years ago, it did kinda drive me crazy (especially with all the pocket lint in the plastic mini-Holga spy camera).
More recently I've taken my film to Bay Photo and told them to develop it and make me a photo CD, which I've been fairly pleased with. A couple times there has been a weird blob in my digital photos that weren't there on the original film. Once recently, I dusted of the scanner and put the film in it. There was soooo much spots in the scanned digital file, I gave up on it.
