Do we need another D-76 clone? Why yes, yes we do! Adox D-76 works and mixes up easier than some other clones out there.

@AlexLuyckxPhoto Interesting - this may finally be the thing that makes me stop hating ID-11 and D76. The short shelf life always drove me nuts.

Also, Alex... clean your damn scans, man. Jesus. 😅

@coldkennels It's okay not to like something. Also thanks! I've been working hard to improve my scanning, and Silverfast has helped a lot! My V700 is still running strong.

@AlexLuyckxPhoto Thing is, ID-11 is really, *really* versatile. I just wish I didn't have to develop six films in the space of a week whenever I mix the stuff. This might solve that problem.

Have you tried Silverfast's Photoshop plugin for dust removal? It took me a bit of experimenting to figure out how to optimise it, but god, it saves SO much time: https://www.picture-plugins.com/

The new innovative SRDx Plug-in (Smart Removal of Defects) is exactly what you need to efficiently remove lots of small defects like dust and scratches from your precious images to have them shine again.

@coldkennels @AlexLuyckxPhoto That looks really interesting. I use Silverfast and find the SRDx stuff there less helpful than I would like, but their demos as a Photoshop plugin look promising.

@thereisnocat @AlexLuyckxPhoto I'm doing some scan cleaning at the mo. Here's a before-and-after within the SRDx interface - thought you both might find it interesting.

@coldkennels @thereisnocat That looks amazing! I think this is built into Silverfast 9...I'll have to check next time I scan.

@AlexLuyckxPhoto @coldkennels The version in Silverfast 9 isn’t the same. It’s more or less their name for using ICE when scanning, and only works on color scans.

@thereisnocat @AlexLuyckxPhoto Yeah, the one in the scanning software also isn't as customisable. You can't manually mask out areas or tweak the sensitivity like you can with the Photoshop plug-in.
