I (and others) have noticed scanned negs tend to show a lot of white spots
which don't seem to be caused by dust on the surface of the neg. Since
the image is inverted, presumably the spots are dark or black (opaque) on
the neg itself. Without ICE, this makes for a lot of work in scanning a
film

IME the thing to do is allow the film to dry naturally in a cabinet, not using forced
air, and especially not forced warm air. And PhotoFlo (esp.600) i

I've just started shooting with slides again and was thinking, boy, this
local Kodak developer is clean! Then my last roll was a mess. Towards the
end of the roll, I tried wiping the slides with a camel hair brush before
blowing it off, and that helped a lot. Until this roll, the blower was the

Glad to know I'm not the only one whose films get mistreated in processing!
BTW I shot a roll of Kodak 100VS and when scanning it noticed circular shapes
at the edge of the frame. I questioned

Indicates too rapid drying and/or wrong wetting agent dilution in final rinse IME. It
can often be provoked by squeegeeing film (which removes the surface liquid from the
