My camera left horizontal scratches across an entire roll of film. I don’t want to remove the scratches, but I’m looking for some help reducing the yellow discoloration they’re causing during conversion. Since the entire roll is affected, I’d like to try to find a quick solution instead of trying to mask the lines to correct their color.
Here’s an example image, I can provide more if needed.
Let’s say that removing the yellow discolouration was actually possible with sensible effort…what would you have instead? White lines, black lines? Not very attractive, are they.
I see two ways to handle the situation:
leave the images as they are for a “true” reproduction of what you have
remove the lines, using e.g. the clone tool
Convert to B&W, then the yellow is gone
Basically, this means that you’ll have to select between “a nice picture” and a, let’s call it “historic reproduction”.
