TPF Noob!
At CVS or something the other day I saw a "photo technician" running film through the printing machine, and before he would put it in he would wipe the film off a couple of times with a cloth. I am wondering, is this why negatives so often come back (from anywhere) with scratches? Or is this likely harmless and is there a cloth that is safe to do this with? For me dust is a major PITA when scanning negatives, costs me at least 20 min/frame to get rid of it in photoshop, and I would like to know others' suggestions for dealing with it. At the moment I use compressed air.
