Another trick is to stick the scratched side of the negative to the glass of a negative holder or the glass of a slide with something which is called "liquid parafine" here in France. It makes most scratches disappear completely, and you can carefully wipe off the liquid afterwards. I have used it several times with amazing results.

I'm fairly adept at spotting silver gelatin prints, but how do you do the opposite? I printed a portrait of a young lady wearing a white blouse. Apparently there is a very fine curly scratch in the negative or a piece of fuzz on the film sheet. It is too fine to be a hair. Naturally, this resulted in a fine black line on the blouse. How do I "white-out" the black line? Thanks!
