The lack of ice is of little consequence when scanning conventional B&W film, which most of my scanning will be. Plus, I don't mind spotting - I find it relaxing. Katrin Eismann. in her bookPhotoshop Restoring and Retouching describes a wonderful technique for spotting and retouching large areas of similar color. Once you get it down, you can spot and retiuch an entire sky in less time than ICE3 can do it. > Nikonscan has some on going issues WRT it's neg scanning algorithms however I > don't know if this affects your scanner: > > http://www.marginalsoftware.com/LS8000Notes/NS_neg_scanning.htm It might ... will have to examine it when I get the scanner. Thanks for the good info and the link. Cheers, Shel
