Is this what you are referring to instead of ICE? I believe ICE also uses a hardware/software system which of course will not work on Kodachrome because of the density/contrast problems. << Gerry Walden wrote: Tom I regularly (like almost daily) scan slide and print with no problem what so ever. I regularly print 16" x 10" or 18" x 12" prints and exhibit and sell them. If I am doing Kodachrome then I turn off the ICE software or use Vuescan. Vuescan is pretty good but a little unfriendly to use although some scans of both negative and slide come out better, particularly if there is a higher level of contrast than normal, but it is not TWAIN compatible so will not scan straight into Photoshop easily whereas (of course) the Canon software does. One of the things I like about the Canon is that I can scan 6 slides at a time, and it will also accept double length neg frames (as, I think, in Xpan) although I have never had cause to use this feature. It is difficult to demonstrate to you but I know I get very good scans with no hassle, and I feel the price is very competitive for a genuine 4000dpi scanner. Hope this helps!
