Well, I have scratched my sensor, or since I made research, I’d better say the infrared filter on top of my sensor. I have made sure that this is a scratch after I had my sensor cleaned by the service center.

I have taken a test shot for the purpose of demonstration and this shot has been taken at F 36 with the shutter speed of 4 second and ISO 100. The scratch looks like that in the RAW file when not modified.

After I increase the contrast heavily, I get the following result.

And here I have attached the snap of the settings in my Lightroom as well as highlighting the scratches.

I would like to ask the community here, do you think this is negligible and something that I can actually forget about, or would this cause problems in my photography? I shoot landscapes, and I’m interested in long exposure and I sometimes need to go a bit above F 16.
