Since I do this semi-professionally now, I have bought licenses for Viva Pro and Diamant Dustbuster+, both of which were used here, along with After Effects & Photoshop -the new Genrative Fill feature helped fill in some of the larger areas of black scratches - the ones where there are so many scratches they almost form a black rectangle that lasts for a dozen frames or more:
At least 4 hours of manual painting, cloning, etc.
Never heard of Diamant Dustbuster+ that must be the magic 😃. It looks like it had many features and tools missing from Adobe in the area of repair, which is the time consuming and challenging part. Should we be scared that they will not list a price? how much is it?
