I have a few dusty photos. They are printed on inkjet photo paper, which is pretty sticky and seem more succeptible to dust than actual camera store prints. How do you remove dust and lint from the picture without ruining it? (I do not mean Photoshopping the image, but rather, physically remove the dust from the print.)
I saw a photo cleaning kit at Michael's once, but I have no idea if it works. I use inkjet prints too, and I've been using a product called Preserve It! from Krylon, because I heard inkjet prints fade faster than photo lab prints. An added benefit is it gets rid of that "sticky" feeling. At least the matte spray does, don't know about the glossy. With the matte spray I've been using, the prints feel a tiny bit rough to the touch when they're dry, not sticky at all.
Uhm..... print them again????
There is a photo care kit by UnDo that you could try. It has a circular microfiber pad that does a good job of removing fingerprints and dust from photos. There is also some liquid cleaning solution in the kit but I have never had to use the solution as the pad and cloth always took care of the problem.
Whatever you decide to do - and there have been some good suggestions - be sure to scan in your originals before you do anything that might modify them.
