I am not sure about this, but it is quite possible that this is a result of using LED based scanners, such as the Nikon, on silver halide films; it also might be a side effect of trying to use digital ICE silver halide films - if you happen to have this feature turned on. As I said, I am

Art, While I am not refuting you, I wish to elaborate on one detail that you did not make real clear in your response so that others will not go away with a misunderstanding. A common trick of the trade is to convert the image to LAB, and then only sharpen the monochromic image, leaving the

Paul, I did not realize that it could be used that way. I would think that such use would be really limited and dependent on the subject matter and what one wanted to do with it. While it might enhance localized contrasts, it is an uncontrolled enhancement of all local contrasts in the image as

Better is a relative term. Generally higher dpi (technically it should be spi or samples per inch and not either dpi, dots per inch, or ppi, pixels per inch) will produce a higher resolution and sharper image than lower amounts of samples per inch. One has to be careful in making comparisons

Art, I really am not trying to pick on you (ok, yes I am); scanners techically measure resolution in terms of samples per inch or spi. Thus, Your correction below is wrong. That would mean if the scanner claimed a 4000 dpi (really ppi or pixels per inch) resolution It is really 4000 spi and
