Tina, what scanner are you using? If its one of the Nikon's you can get very
good results using roc and gem and dde without the ice.  Either the roc or
the gem, I forget which one, will smooth smooth out the grain.  I do it with
Tri-X all the time.  You can play around with the settings to get your max.
If you don't use a Nikon then.........nevermind:)

Subject: PAW 6, Vuescan?

PAWs:

O.K. all of you Vuescan users -

I'm trying to learn how to scan black and white with Vuescan.  Since I
can't use Digital ICE with B&W, I'm looking for some way to cut down on the
spotting when I scan all of these old black and white negatives and that's
why I downloaded Vuescan.  So far, I'm not too impressed, but maybe I'm
overlooking something obvious.  When I crank the infrared cleaning up to
high, the image gets too soft.  When it's on medium or light, I still have
to spend a long time spotting out dust and scratches.  These first two were
on medium, but I did a lot of spotting.  Am I overlooking something obvious
or expecting too much?  These are old negatives and I've cleaned them as
much as I can without scratching them more.

Other than that, these are all photos I'm scanning for stock.  What do you
think?  The second alternate is another old Kodachrome.
