AI scratch removal/restoration and colour-negative film conversion

What problem do you see this solving?

I´m scanning colour-negative film.It would be a nice feature to convert negative to positive with something like AI colour-correction and AI scratch-removal, maybe also using the infrared-channel. New digital cameras can take a raw-image of film stripes in high quality,too. In this case a negative to positive conversion and scratch removal might be a really nice feature as well.

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?

Since 2022, when I started to scan old film-stripes.

Current workaround

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?

negative to positive conversion... no well workaround. Scratch removal with clone and healing tool after using the scratch remove in the scanner software and a lot of manual work!!

    I have been converting a lot of color and b/w negatives with C1P and a conversion script.. So far it's doable but the "healing" is very poor ..I also use Topaz for AI improvement for these old pics and all the "healed" spots are again visible because of the sharpening/enhancement and AI.. The best work flow is to wait with scratch and spot removal till the last step in the workflow alas Topaz Photo AI doesn't has a "healing" feature but the new Photomator does an excellent job and has become my final step in the workflow..Just FYI
