Hello
My name is Steve Rice and I really need some help here. I am responsible for taking 20,000 or so old negatives from 1929-1980’s and digitizing them for my school as a summer job. I am familiar with my computer, my scanner, the software etc. but I am not familiar with how to deal with these negatives. Many of the negatives are dusty which is easily taken care of. The problem I am having is along the edges of the film there is a residue that looks like some sort of dry chemical or possibly mold. Whatever it is causes veins of faint white light to show up when scanned. I was wondering if there was any way to remove this. Are there any products I could buy to get this stuff off without damaging these historical photos?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
