Interesting that it should be able to get around the Digital ICE problem with Kodachrome, which apparently stems from the fact that this emulsion retains its silver grains, which are mistaken for dust by the IR scan, when the developer of the process could or did not. I did eventually find the place, buried deep, in the Epson lit where it is mentioned that Digital ICE is suitable for chromogenic emulsions only and specifically not for KC. IMHO, it should be mentioned much more prominently. ?howard On Nov 15, 2009, at 6:35 AM, Steve Unsworth wrote: > As mentioned elsewhere you can't use ICE with traditional b&w films. > > You might want to try Vuescan - www.hamrick.com - that will not only allow > you to use the IR clean with Kodachrome, but it will let you specify the > cropping boundary for each image and so prevent the over-cropping that > you're finding. > > Vuescan has a very fussy looking interface, but all the control you want is > there.
