>>4349452For all the constant doghair bullshit, and all of the zoophiles bleating about how unrealistic, autistic, obssessed, etc I must be to post clean scans, it's hilarious how little effort or attention it actually requires from me.
The room I scan in is also my girlfriend's dressing/wardrobe room. I have my scanning setup under a tablecloth for a dropsheet.
I hang my bw negs up in the hallway to dry, and try to scan them on the same day I dev them.
I get my negs back from the lab as uncut rolls, and depending on the shop I use they either sleeve it, or just roll it up back into a canister.
I usually never wipe any extra dust off off the film before scanning, unless they've been sitting around for a while since dev, or I'm rescanning something old, as scratches are much harder to remove digitally than dust.
I take a clean pot from the kitchen, and wipe it out with a damp cloth, and I put the roll in that to feed it through my scan setup. I wipe the neg carrier, and the diffusion panel off before starting a session, as well as the general section of the work surface the film passes across.
That's it, I don't even own a blower, it's a carpeted room full of clothes and piles of dusty as hell camera gear.
My "scanner autist" method is just scan promptly after developing, and don't roll that shit around on the ground.
I then use the spot heal tool to get anything obvious when I'm editing the scan.
The reason I give them shit for it is precisely because of how little effort it takes to do properly, and how absolutely slovenly, or just ignorant, they must be to do it so badly.
>pic related, a frame where you can clearly see every speck of dust after hanging up in my dusty hallway to dry for 6 hours before I scanned it, this is as bad as it should ever be
