Hi DxO’s Staff !
I have found a bug for Retouch when I work on negative scan from 135 film.
(repro : D850 + AF-D 105 MicroNikkor - Ilford HP5+)
In this example, you can see what happen with the post (repair mode or duplicate mode).
I add my settings. If you need to test, I can send you my RAW or dop files.
Thanks for your help.

In the meantime…
Retouching gradients as invisibly as possible is always difficult, especially with high contrast and accentuated film grain.
To simplify the retouching process, I would try working with a standard image that has lower contrast. Reproducing HP5+ film doesn’t make things any easier.
Then, I would export the result as a 16-bit TIFF to obtain a standard positive *) and then apply film characteristics and / or grain, contrast, ClearViewPlus, etc. – This should help you achieve better retouching.
*) note that I’m still on FP 7
Thanks a lot for the advice. I have send this request to DxO’s support.
We’ll see if there is a way to correct this bug.
