Original image
After Digital ICE processing
Digital ICE reduces the effects of surface defects, dust, scratches, fingerprints, mold, etc., from
the film image during scanning. Scanning time increases with the use of Digital ICE. Digital ICE
cannot be used with Kodak Kodachrome film or silver-halide black and white films.
Scanner Notes
Black and white chromegenic films that are designed to be developed in a C-41 or equivalent
color process, Kodak T-400CN or Ilford XP2 Super, can be processed with the Digtal ICE,
ROC, GEM, and SHO functions. These films should be scanned with the film type set to color
negative (p. 28). Set the saturation level in the hue, saturation and lightness palette to -100 to
remove the color (p. 63). The scanned data can be convertered to grayscale with an image-
processing application to reduce file size and eliminate the color channels. Results cannot be
guarantied with other types of black and white film.
