[LargeFormat] Removing black spots from prints

I'm beginning to consider this approach, much as I am reluctant to touch the
original neg.  Does anyone know if sheet FP4+ has a retouching surface?  I
don't think it does -- I scoured the data sheet from Ilford, and didn't see
any mention of it.

An excellent point, Paul.
