Shane,

An artifact is anything that doesn't belong in the picture and originated from a recording or reproduction error.

Speckles are artifacts. Hair-lines in films are artifacts. Edge enhancement coronas are artifacts.
Even, strictly speaking, wrong colours are artifacts.

Comes from Latin, meaning "artificially" (sic!), "not made by nature".

I thought an art fact was like, "Vincent Van Gough liked sunflowers."

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Like the 1st guy said, an artifact is anything that should not be there. This includes:

Hairs
Scratches
Dust
Noise (not to be confused with grain)
Pixellation

Not Art Facts....Arti Facts.
All facts relating to Arti Johnson!
Where have you been?
