How to Clean Color Slides?
Aug 16, 2012 00:10:57 #
I've just received a Wolverine slide to digital converter, which I'm quite happy with. The attached pic is my baby girl (35 years ago) on a hotel balcony in Paris, mostly the kind of stuff I want to preserve. The digitized copy is pretty good with minimal post processing, except I didn't clean the slide prior to copying for fear of damaging it. Then spent 2 hours cloning out dust spots on the image. Is there a safe way to clean most of 35 years of accumulated crud off a slide without damage? Thanks.

Yes thank you for that. I have lots of old slides of my travels in my youth. Many have mould spots so I'll give the micro fibre cloths a go.

Don't know how many slides you have to cnvert. I have a Canoscan 9000f. It has a dust and scratch removal function that works quite nice. It has saved me lots of time in touch ups. It also does 35mm and 120 size negatives. If you have a lot of stuff to convert it might b worth your while.
