ICE does pretty well with scratches generally; they block (or diffract away) the IR, so they're flagged as errors and fixed. I clean my film before putting it into the scanner still. Try to avoid using cleaning fluids unless there's a real problem, but dust removal with air or brush *always*. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
