Since I can't use Digital ICE with B&W, I'm looking for some way to cut down on the spotting when I scan all of these old black and white negatives and that's why I downloaded Vuescan. So far, I'm not too impressed, but maybe I'm overlooking something obvious. When I crank the infrared cleaning up to high, the image gets too soft. When it's on medium or light, I still have to spend a long time spotting out dust and scratches. These first two were on medium, but I did a lot of spotting. Am I overlooking something obvious or expecting too much? These are old negatives and I've cleaned them as much as I can without scratching them more. Other than that, these are all photos I'm scanning for stock. What do you think? The second alternate is another old Kodachrome.
