filmscanners: Re: Nikon Super coolscan 4000 Problems

I am using Ice on Nomal and using Nikon Scan 3.1.  My slides are very clean
and exposures on slides I scan are all excellent.  With Photo CD scans, I
easily cleaned up spots with the Photoshop rubber stamp.  Clearly, there is
a problem with dust in the scanner.  I am getting the impression that the
cost of using Digital Ice is some loss of definition and sharpness which
can't be restored by using unsharp mask in Photoshop.  In fact, I compared
scans with Digital Ice on Normal and turned off, then sharpened in
Photoshop, and the scan without Ice was far superior.
