A method of and apparatus for removing the effects of surface and near surface image (12) storage media (14) defects from a scanned image using an infrared record as a norming control. Each pixel in a visible channel of the scanned images is divided by the corresponding pixel in the associated infrared control channel after it has been altered in gain to match the degree of defect in the visible channel. By appropriately altering the gain prior to dividing the pixel information, imbalances between the visible and infrared records which would leave defect residue after the division are reduced or eliminated. To remove defect residue, a degree of nulling is established for each defect region based on the visible and infrared content in that region. In one embodiment, the articulation gain is multiplicatively applied to the logarithm of the visible and infrared records.
