Using AI during Scanning and Subsequent Editing

[Alan Edward Klein]

What app and how are you using AI when scanning film and subsequent editing for such things as eliminating dust spots, reversing color negative film, correcting colors, etc? Include the type of scanner you're using such as:

a. flat bed scanner
b. drum scanners
c. digital camera scanning
d. other

Is there such an app? What are you using?

I sometimes use ChatGPT to give me completely wrong information about all of the above.

I guess it depends a bit on what constitutes 'AI'. Tools like the 'healing brush' in e.g. Photoshop and GIMP can be considered as a form of AI - just not an LLM, which is what we usually think of today when referring to AI.

The other day I was spotting a scan (with said healing brush) and I figured that there should really be an AI-powered tool to automate the process. It's such predictable, mind-numbing work that surely it would be perfect for an LLM to perform. Is this already present in newer Photoshop versions or the AI-powered version of Affinity? I've not looked into it yet; I'd be interested to hear if others have and what their experiences are.

^ I am also interested in this! Scanning a huge batch of 35mm slides on digitdia scanner, and interested in optimal workflow for dustremoval.
