grain, but

| showing it as pepper grain.  Digital ICE completely removes the pepper
| grain, but Kodak films don't show it at all because their film base is
thinner:

Interesting article.I assumed that the infrared clean in Vuescan would
do the same as digital ICE.I,ll reinstall nikon scan and do a check.
Thanks
