Thanks. I will try that as soon as I find the microscope :-) So far,
dust&speckles removes is nicely, as it is really around one pixel
sized, but I have to mask some areas if there is enough similar pixel
sized detail there. It's not so bad. What's worse is the horrible
grain or noise I get scanning iso 800 films and adjusting the colour
temperature to correct for tungsten light. Blue speckled noise all
over. And sharp :-( It almost seems as the nikon is sharpening the
blue channel?!?
Good light!
