Elyas,

Sorry, green scratches are forever. FilmGuard can help make black lines disappear, but there's nothing that can be done with deep emulsion scratches.

Thanks, Doug,

On the same topic, would the same emulsion line on a black and white film then be just white? I noticed this really annoying thin white line on my otherwise pristine 'Miracle of the bells' print [Frown]

... Hope I'm wrong and thanks again [Smile]

Generally base scratches are black since they block light from the lamp while emulsion scratches are white or colored as they let light through.

Oh man,

I was really hoping I was wrong about the black n white emulsion line [Frown]

a white chinagraph pencil can turn an green emulsion scratch black.

Interesting,

and this is the Film Guard- removable black we're talking about here?

Elyas - NOPE....As Doug already pointed out an emulsion scratch is forever, because that is the side that contains the actual image information, once it has been scratched off there is not way to replace it...The "black" scratches on the base side are only black because the scratch is redirecting the light instead of passing straight through the image or emulsion side..The film guard fills in the scratch so the light shines straight through the emulsion side...Clyde's trick is just to make the emulsion scratch less annoying, it won't make it go away entirely.

Hi all,

saw this and was thinking it's probably for negatives but your more experienced thoughts?

Still doesn't and cannot claim to remove emulsion scratches. There is no magic potion that can repaint the emulsion side of a print with exactly the right colours and image once a scratch has took it away.

Fair enough if you are working in A&E at the hospitals, but papermakers... come on. The UK has gone bonkers!

Oh no [Frown]

Oh don't worry I am more than used to our barmy annualised hours nowadays Elyas. Last year it was the same story for me working NYE.
