Local Density Reduction for Color Print Spotting

[epraus]

Hello All!

I am working with a color negative with a pin hole which obviously is printing as a black spot. Does anyone out there have any suggestions how to reduce the spot to white so that it can be spotted? I tried using Potassium Ferricyanide (the time tested B&W method) to no avail.:confused:

Easier just to opaque spot over it without the bleach, unless you're working with high
gloss polyester print base. Potassium permangante bleaches leave an obnoxious halo;
best to avoid them if possible.

I agree with that one hundred percent. Although a customer may not like having the opaque on thier neg, versus it being a personal "project". Pebo which Omega Brandess has sold made-makes a color dye remover that works very well. I'll need to check if we still sell.
