Is there some reason why using ICE is not the best idea? Do I lose something? I know the negs were dusty.... even directly back from the lab.... Yes, the TIFFs work fine.... just the desire to work with the best I can... BTW, I scanned at 1000ppi for this stuff. If I want to print out, I can scan higher, then do the final manipulations. At least, that is my present plan. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net I never upgraded to version two, so maybe this problem is solved, but Lightroom version 1 is the pits when it comes to retouching dust. Nikon scanners are cruel when it comes to catching a lot of detail ... dust and scratches. It seems to work well with dust that gets glued to a sensor, but scanning usually ends up with a _lot_ of extra work spotting out dust. In fact, the greatest argument for me, if I were doing color, for digital is just this: freedom from dust and scratches. Sure, sensors get dirty too, but nothing like negatives.
