Or young children ?!?

Nice for a scanned photo if you are having problems ? Cannot see so much wrong with it !

I found that using any noise reduction software with scanners - flatbed or 'proper' neg scanners - i.e. ICE or similar does very strange things when scanning B&W. Turn it all off and reconcile yourself to hours of 'spotting'.

More likely Trisha does Texas

OK I'll admit, I don't watch Trisha since she went to Channel 5.

I seem to recollect that ICE just doesn't like anything with silver in it. Scanners will handle C41 processed stuff (Ilford XPx, Kodak? [is it that long ago I can't remember?], which is purely dye based, no trouble at all. Get a film anywhere near silver halides and scanning things go to pot.

Kodachrome Trannies are exactly the same......

Arkady · 17-01-2006, 19:53

Affirmative - I began using XP-2 for this very reason - I think it's the 'randomness' of the silver halides that confuses it. The 'black' silver that makes up the image seems to spook the software, whereas the dyes that replace the silver in C-41 stock seem to work OK.
The tri-layers of Kodachrome were bound to fail - hold a tranny up to the light and you can see the relief of the layers, like a topographical 3-D map...

I apologise as Im only displaying my extreme lack of understanding of this topic, but did I just hear Arkady say
