Help! Does anyone have experience repairing pinholes, dust specks, etc., on
enlarged negatives? No matter how meticulous I am about preparing negatives
(with an anti-static brush and compressed nitrogen) prior to enlarging,
doobers invariably appear....usually in big-sky areas, where they're
impossible to ignore. I've tried spotting negatives with india ink, but
it's hard to control. Even with a fine sable brush, I tend to wind up with
ink blobs that are worse than the original defects. Is there a more precise
approach?
    Thanks!
