Well that why you have iSRD and digital ice corrections guys. You then can run 2 scans after doing your best to dust bust the film to then just reveal to the iSRD scan where ever the dust is left.
I don't use Silverfast (iSRD seems to be specific to them, I had to look it up), but infrared detection of dust and scratches doesn't work on ordinary B&W film, which is most of what I've been dealing with lately.
What lab didn't have a full time person with peerless water colors retoucing dust in the old days?
I don't know. I never noticed the marks on the surface; did they have something to restore the texture with after spotting?
(I did some spotting myself on B&W prints, using Spotone dyes. Annoying, but I could improve things fairly quickly.)
