A camera!
When we discussed this before, I mentioned I'd got some good shots simply using my Nikon SLR. It was so fast compared to scanning.
I'm confused about this ICE thing. I got ICE with an Epson scanner, and it seemed to be software that ran AFTER the scanning process.
I had hoped I could do the spot removal when I had more time.
I returned the scanner on the basis of the slider holders. They were a penny's worth of badly molded plastic. Outrageously bad. Otherwise the $250 unit was very good. I got a 3170 PHOTO to replace it. $70 refurbished. Not bad, but not as good as the first one. However, the slide holders were very well made.
It really is a case of not being deluged with Chinese crapola.
Brand names. As an aside, I ordered an Hitachi drill press. I assumed with the name, and being from Sears it would be good-ish. It took two of us to assemble the 6' high machine, and it became obvious before we'd finished, I got more tat from China. Sure enough, tiny writing on the notes. Made in China. Where will it all end?
