He is one straight from the scanner - no adjustments
what I am seeing on every other are the "drying" marks from the original development process
Little work and the marks are gone.

Thanks Richard, presumably I just adjust with the tools in PS that I would use for digital images??

You don't want to do that. just scan as you need them. If you work out how much time it takes to do a good scan then work out how much of your free time you can set aside for scanning, you might find it's several years worth of work!

The example shown was fine, but some of my drying marks go across features and I've generally not managed to deal with them well.
I've only had a few professionally devved films with drying marks, most of the problem has been my own processing. I'm slowly getting better. Even thinking of squeegeeing... but that's probably not a discussion for this thread! I don't remember any of my older films having drying marks, and many were devved by the likes of Boots, Jessops or equivalents.

Get a standard microfibre cloth and lay the negatives on it. Then, fold the cloth over the top of the negatives and gently rub in circles and the drying marks should come off. I'm pretty rough on my negatives but it's always worked well.
