Dirt and Sparkle

[ablwr]

In the film category, we have both Dirt and Sparkle, but is there any way to consolidate these? Is there a reason for them to remain distinct?

Maybe cos they have different causes and different methods to solve the issue? Sparkle, AFAIK is created in the printing process on the emulsion side and probably needs to be fixed digitally, whearas dirt (if not inherited from source) is probably generated through use and can be removed physically or digitally?

Not sure that these are enough reasons to keep them distinct...

That is a notable difference, thanks @kieranjol, I didn't think of it that way

Actually, I brought a bias into this. I pretty much never worked with negs, only positive reversal or prints. I think these both are similar enough and could warrant the combination. Sorry for my ramblings.

In my opinion, it’s important to distinguish between physically present on the element (can be cleaned easily before digitising or printing) and photographically copied into the element (which can be masked digitally, in a more or less convincing way, depending e.g. on the size).

Haha, and I have the opposite bias! I have only ever worked with original nitrate negatives and no prints. But with our powers combined, Kieran..!!!!
