A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Need to remove dust/scratch lines from several thousand scanned photo files (alien.top)

Hello - I'm hoping this sub can help me out

I recently scanned about 10,000 old family photos and a few thousand of them have a faint line over them from dust being stuck in the scanner. I did my best to clean it during the scanning process but couldn't always see when it was happening

Anyway I'm looking for suggestions on how best to mass-edit (remove dust, remove scratches, restore/enhance) these photos to clean them up. I really don't want to re-scan them for various reasons...

Ideally it would be something like the MyHeritage enhance photo feature but for batches of photos at one time. Then I could review the enhanced photo copies and choose whether or not to save them over the originals. Thanks for any help in advance!

Maybe you should try an AI tool and get the paid version if you have so many images:
