Nikon scanners use a 4th infrared channels to detect surface defect or dust, then performs interpolation to makes these defects less visible. Silver crystals in conventional B&W films block IR, fooling the scanner/scanning software to think that the negative is full of scratches. So, turn off the "ICE" functionality and you should be set. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "David E.
