This is a different problem they're talking about.  What they're
describing is at the boundary between the slide mount and the
film.  It's not what you're seeing.

What you're seeing is caused by two things:

1) NikonScan smooths the image when using ICE.  You
   actually lose image detail when this is turned on.  Use
   VueScan's "Scrub" filter to do smoothing (in 6.1).

2) NikonScan gets a color shift when using ICE.  Compare
   the colors both with and without ICE in NikonScan, and
   with cleaning on and off in VueScan.  You'll see that there
   are big color shifts in NikonScan and no color shifts in
   VueScan.

The noise you're seeing is the same in VueScan both with
and without cleaning.  It's just normal film grain.

Ed Hamrick
