<p>Sorry for the delay on the update, was waiting till weekend.<br> I decided to give cleaning negative a try. I cleaned it with Pac-12 again, very very through, used 99% Isopropyl alcohol and cleaned it with water.<br> Here is scan with no ICE used: https://goo.gl/photos/QSe8RAD8eXtN7Seh6<br> not much changed, but interestingly, ICE could work much better. Here is a scan with ICE to the max (I am using SilverFast): https://goo.gl/photos/dKLGKRriSPj55mpN8<br> I tend to think that this is most likely damage to the physical layer due to age (yes, it is Kodak Gold, and yes it was not stored in perfect condition).<br> I think that wet mount may help me, so it is a next step, waiting on scanning fluid. Will update...<br> </p>

<p>Les,<br> Scan using Epson software (ICE is on, the rest is off): https://goo.gl/photos/V6fcwC13FpgW8rus8<br> Scan using SilverFast with max ICE correction: https://goo.gl/photos/cgTuegK8sbabHdHe7</p> <p> </p>

<p>Les,<br> I am using SiverFast to scan and yes, ICE does very little to these defects. If I have dust then ICE works exactly as expected, removing most of the dust. Links are correct. The scanner I have is V800 and I do appreciate ICE, but I have not personally used Coolscan. <br> <br />Thanks,</p>

<p>Brooks, thank you, I do use Kinetronics brushes and pec-12 with pec pad.</p> <p>Allen, is there really a difference between Edwal Anti-Stat and PEC-12?</p>

<p>Hello,<br> I am working on scanning my collection of old negatives and I need some help on cleaning.<br> I am using Epson V800 dry mount for scanning. Prior to scanning I either just remove dust with Kinetronics brush or use PAE-12 cleaning solution with PEC-PAD to clean negatives.<br> However, some of the negatives show damage/dirt which I can not remove. When I started I tried to wash negatives in Kodak's solutions but I don't think it was too helpful either.<br> I picked one image as an example, to show. It is not the very good image and I scanned it directly into JPEG without any additional processing/settings at all, but it display the damage I am taking about.<br> Negative scanned without ICE: https://goo.gl/photos/N4vUXeqzZdnYKhoA7</p> <p >same negative scanned with ICE: https://goo.gl/photos/wt2cSVxrg5eHHnrf9<br> When I put negative on the the light box, I can see the white marks as well so it is not the scanner.<br> Any recommendation on what I can try to clean/repair the negative?<br> Thank you,<br> Vadim<br> PS: I have negatives which I would be OK to loose so I can try something crazy (I've read somewhere that people used lighting fluid ?). I am also think about trying wet mount, but I am not sure how it would help.<br> PS2: same image scanned as 48bit TIFF and converted to JPEG using DXO OpticsPro: https://goo.gl/photos/q5SdDF6nFauSMEXe6</p> <p > </p><div></div>

<p>I have number of 35mm negatives and would love to have them scanned, but most of my negatives would have to be washed/cleaned first.<br> Can some one recommend service which would physically clean 35mm negatives before scanning them?<br> Thanks,<br> Vadim</p> <p>PS: I am US/California/San Francisco Area but have no problem shipping to the good lab.</p>
